LEO XIV CHICAGO'S POPE

Pope Leo XIV will be celebrating a mass in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s multi-million tax paid birthday military parade.

Chicago is expecting at least 1 million people to show up for the event. If you can make it to the Pope’s mass then do it, make it the biggest event of the day.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Is ‘Very Good’ for Palantir, Says CEO Alex Karp Palantir’s values closely align with the mission of DOGE, the company’s CTO said.

And now it has state power behind it.

This is some serious shit that needs to be addressed NOW.

Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans

Well, f#ck. “Trump taps Palantir to compile data on Americans” - 5/30/25 (Palantir was co-founded by Peter Thiel, Joe Lonsdale, Alex Karp, & Stephen Cohen.) 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

So Do I! We All Should!!

🧵 When authoritarian leaders attack judges as "enemies," history shows us exactly where this leads. Trump's assault on "USA HATING JUDGES" isn't just inflammatory rhetoric—it's following a script written by strongmen worldwide. But other countries show us how to fight back.

When Leaders Attack Judges as "Enemies": The Global Authoritarian Playbook—and How to Stop It From Erdoğan to Trump, strongmen follow the same script—and mass mobilization offers a path to resist.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power.
