NEW: Partially unsealed court filings show that ICE has been putting photos of people observing their activities into a Palantir-built database as well as tracking and intimidating them. @regret.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social have the details:

DHS agents not only tracked and intimidated people observing ICE activity in Maine, but stored information about them in a Palantir-built database, newly unsealed court filings say.

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

"The scale of Russia’s ambition to freeze Ukrainians into submission is evident in a document that the Ukrainian energy minister, Denys Shmyhal, showed to European partners in Paris two weeks ago, according to two people familiar with his presentation."
Mr. Shmyhal, the people said, described the document as an intercepted Russian plan to cause the energy system to collapse through methodical attacks. The plan, a copy of which The New York Times obtained, describes a campaign of strikes using up to 1,000 missiles, drones and bombs. They would target a wide range of facilities, including electrical substations, hydroelectric and thermal power plants, and boiler houses.

Trump is planning to deliver 40,000 - 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, weapons that prompted such concerns about mass casualties in Gaza that the Biden administration halted their delivery. There is little left to bomb in the ruins of Gaza except PEOPLE. Let that roll around in your head for a while.

October is #breastcancerawareness month. Did you know: Mary Claire King discovered the BRCA1 gene. In the 70s, she told people that one gene might be responsible for inherited breast cancer. No one believed her. In 1990, she found proof. It created a paradigm shift. It saved millions of lives.🧪

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.
