So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

@MatthewKeysLive
Paramount is apparently trying to suppress copies of "Only in Monroe" from appearing on other social platforms by filing frivolous copyright notices, even though the show was produced by a public access TV channel and doesn't use their intellectual property...

The surveillance state just keeps worsening. #Bossware This level of repression and vigilance is reaching exit velocity. www.techtarget.com/whatis/featu...

Let’s talk about bossware and if you haven’t heard that term yet, here’s what it is. Bossware is workplace surveillance software. Software that tracks your keystrokes, monitors what websites you visit, takes random screenshots of your screen throughout the day, and logs how long you step away from your desk. In some cases it uses your own camera to make sure you’re actually sitting there. It’s marketed to employers as a “productivity tool.” What it actually is, is a digital leash.
So why are we bringing this up right now? Because Palantir (the surveillance and AI company that has been cozying up to the Trump administration) just walked away with a no-bid contract with the USDA as part of a larger $300 million deal, all framed around return-to-office implementation. No competition, no other bids, just handed to them. And the reason they gave for skipping the bidding process? National security. National security… for return-to-office desk assignments.
Here’s what the contract actually says they’ll be doing: “real-time analytics to optimize space utilization and employee seat assignments” and “continuous compliance monitoring upon detection of threats or anomalies.”
Threats and anomalies. In a contract about where people sit. That is not facilities management language. That is surveillance language particularly bossware language.
The USDA has already lost 27,000 employees (27% of its entire workforce) since January. And now they’re rolling out Palantir to monitor everyone who’s left. Federal workers, be aware. The tools being put in place around you are not there to help you. They are there to watch you.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The Overton window is shifting, slowly but surely. If it persists, it gets normalized, and then it gets even worse. This will go on until direction is reversed OR civil war. This is not an anomaly, there's mathematics underlying this shit.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.
