NEW: 404 Media has seen parts of a Palantir-powered ICE database that allows for highly specific filtering of people, which allows for searches of students, people with tattoos, from specific countries, by visa status, etc: 404media.co/inside-a-power…

Love that Palantir’s chief executive spends 10 hours everyday whining about how he’s the last progressive and the remaining 14 hours are spent diligently building the technological infrastructure for a permanent apartheid state.

The "AI First" administration is just simply ditching all government functions that relate to data gathering and statistical analysis 🤔 cbsnews.com/news/trump-hhs…

This week in The Torment Nexus, why you should be careful what you post on social media part two: torment-nexus.mathewingram.com/be-careful-wha…

I think today was an inflection point - maybe small, but real. The President, having launched a global trade war, feted in the Oval Office a Central American dictator who runs a mega-prison known for starvation and torture - a prison to which our government has, by its own

Seeing people abducted off the street by thugs and calling the options "rhetoric" shows exactly why David Axelrod, James Carville and every other leech on the Democratic Party has to be ignored. These are cowardly, unintelligent men, whose only interest is in money and proximity

It would be trivially easy for Congress to forbid Trump from spending any taxpayer money on El Salvadoran prisons. Why aren't they? How do we get this started?

okay this is an insane moment in human history right here

Woah. The Abundance Institute backs a moratorium on state child social media laws that protect kids against AI harms, state cybersecurity laws related to AI, state consumer protection laws related to AI. Mask off moment for Abundance: opposed to democracy in response to AI?!!!

Honestly thought there was more redundancy and bloat but DOGE showed me how efficient the federal government really was

Very weird, and telling, tweet: Sacks says that the future of AI is a Rorschach test, and describes what he thinks the left sees, but then says nothing about what he, or other RWers, think an AI-dominated society should look like.

Heighten the contradictions, comrades

A company called "Frontier Valley" has declared it will build a new Network State zone on federal land in Alameda, California. It published a "draft" presidential executive order that would declare a "national security emergency" to permit the project. PR stunt, or...?

This is the most racist, absurd, unhinged thing a democrat senator not named Fetterman has said in a long time. Absolutely revolting. In a just world she would be forced to resign.

This discussion exposes how unchecked tech power in Silicon Valley fuels anti-democratic agendas and consolidates control in the hands of the few, leaving our privacy in the crosshairs. With Jacob Metcalf 🐀, Tamara Kneese et al. on Tech Policy Press buff.ly/T7pTw2L

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

If this is true, this is the largest public corruption scandal in the history of the United States and it's not even close. nytimes.com/2025/09/15/us/…

I came back today. I thought I had known despair before, but what I saw today is beyond despair. It is not grief, nor horror, nor pain. It is something colder, a stillness where even God seems to have withdrawn His hand. The sky was impossibly blue. The kind of blue that mocks

Hey @openai and Sam Altman, ya gonna keep notorious misogynist and Epstein-buddy Larry Summers on the Board still? Today seems like an easy day to make the right choice.
