The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

It’s time we all start talking way more about Peter Thiel and his company, Palantir. He wants to hide in the shadows. We won’t let him.

Monday, July 14, at 9am. Let’s join @planetoverprofit.org in making some good trouble at NYC’s Palantir office (45 W 18th St). Palantir is empowering the Trump regime by building a database that tracks all of us, enabling ICE to target and kidnap people—it’s long overdue we hold them accountable.

NYC. Denver. Palo Alto. TOMORROW, you can protest against the tech billionaire who hides behind the scenes—Peter Thiel—and his surveillance company that empowers ICE’s cruelty: Palantir. This is just the beginning to another Tesla Takedown-like movement. Follow @purgepalantir.bsky.social for more.
