A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

We're not allowed to see the faces of the taxpayer-funded goon squad who is committing crimes in the streets, but the goon squad is allowed to record the faces of taxpayers who have committed no crimes.

Federal agents pinned a man to the ground in south Minneapolis and sprayed him with chemical irritants directly in the face. Minnesota Star Tribune photographer Rich Tsong-Taatarii did not witness the man put his hands on agents.

4:26 p.m. | Border Patrol agents show up at Minneapolis Roosevelt High School
An official from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis told MPR News that armed U.S.
Border Patrol officers came onto school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people; they handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.
"The guy, I'm telling him like, 'Please step off the school grounds,' and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he's trying to push me, and he knocked me down," said a school official, who spoke to MPR News on condition of anonymity.
text:

"They don't care. They're just animals," the official added. "T've never seen people behave like this."
The school leader said armed officers with apparent Border Patrol insignia on their uniforms arrived at the school in several SUV vehicles during dismissal on Wednesday afternoon. They broke out the window of a vehicle.
"There's a car that got hit. I don't know how it got hit. They broke out the window," the school official said. "Then different Neighborhood Watch, people, everybody, people, the staff in the school came out. And then they started coming on the property of the school and pushing people and tackling people and shooting pepper spray and pepper balls. And they handcuffed two of our employees."

Cops are great www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Excerpt from the linked news article. Text reads: "A witness to Wednesday's shooting in south Minneapolis told MPR News that she saw a federal agent shoot a woman several times.
Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations.
Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to "get out of here."
"She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper - and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times," Heller said.
Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car."

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs! It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

Look at this sneaky LRAD mounted on unmarked police truck at St. Paul protest. I've never seen one. LRAD is a sound energy weapon developed for military. It focuses sound like laser at extreme harmful, painful volumes & can not be blocked. If you see this, you run to left or right of its direction
