Bipartisan US Push Tries to Label Democratic African Government as “Terrorist” The UN treats the Polisario as the legitimate representative of the Western Sahara people. The US is now vilifying it.

Palantir breaks new ground in algorithmic surveillance and control:

"These changes normalize suspicionless surveillance — collection, retention, and integration of data about movements, activities, and transactions — and permission-based extrajudicial control."

Do you condemn throwing rocks at ICE? (No)

I wrote about why we can’t condemn those who throw rocks at ICE.

Please Shout Fire. This Theater Is Burning The United States is being destroyed from within, and mainstream journalism isn't making that clear. When I was a kid, there was a popular phrase--"what if they had a war and no one came?" What if we ...

It's when you assemble the whole picture that you have to raise the question if the intention is to destroy this country and whether this country is in fact being destroyed.

Jojn us Wednesday, 1 pm, Marriot Marquis San Diego Marina, to tell CalSTRS to SELL TSLA:

I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X.

I don’t like to shame people for what is clearly a failure of collective action, but honestly, what the fuck?

ICE is going to get someone killed.

This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District.

If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car.

Hope everyone’s OK.

The official X account for the White House just posted a photo of Trump with the alligators wearing ICE hats.

This is concentration camp propaganda being promoted on the same day he announced he will start targeting citizens for removal.

Supreme Court upholds demand for ID for Web browsing:

papersplease.org/wp/2025/06/2...

Some companies will welcome this pretext for commercial surveillance. If anyone objects to exploitation of ID & location info, they now have perfect excuses: “Everybody does it” & “The government made us do it.”

Asymmetric demands for ID:

"Govt agents demand citizens provide evidence of our ID, even when we are exercising rights that don’t depend on ID. But those same agents refuse to provide evidence of their ID, even when they claim authority that depends on their ID..."
