one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

cool we have 4 options now 1) the next FDR is a class traitor governor (Pritzker) 2) the next FDR is an outspoken politician known by their initials (AOC) 3) the next FDR is the VP of a failed presidential ticket (Walz) 4) the next FDR is an outspoken politician with a dutch last name (Van Hollen)

We're in The Bad Place, folks. The existence of an overseas gulag to which you - yes, you personally - can be sent with no recourse marks the end of a whole period of American history. There's no going back after this. Even if these guys are defeated, the new order will have to look much different.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

A moment of reckoning has
arrived for the West.
Our culture has fallen into shallow consumerism while abandoning national purpose. Too few in Silicon Valley have asked what ought to be built - and why.
We did.
We built Palantir to ensure America's future, not to tinker at the margins. On the factory floor, in the operating room, across the battlefield - we build to dominate.

Wild to be up against naked fascism and the dismantling of human rights, separation of powers and free speech and be like man these guys kidnapping people and sending them to camps are making me just as worried as the wokes who hate when you say slurs. American centrism is awesome

what replaces due process under fascism is the assurance of protection for favored groups. even though it’s precarious, a lot of people feel just as protected under that framework as they do under one with due process

whenever young people ask me for advice, i always recommend that they carry some cash on them. it's easy to understand why they don't, since almost everything now can be bought with a credit card or a mobile app. but what it means for me is that they're more difficult to hold up and rob in the park

anyway as i've argued before any class politics worth its name is not going to treat identity as an obstacle to solidarity but as an asset. "we all suffer in different ways under capitalism and the only way to relieve your particular suffering is to help me relieve mine and vice versa."

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

Something to think about with the Ross Ulbricht pardon. The feds are still sitting on $6.5 billion in bitcoin seized from silk road. If Trump gives it back to Ulbricht, he could easily pay back Trump by trading it for Trump coin. A potential bribe of millions or billions of dollars for a pardon.

"Headline from Fortune Crypto: 'The federal government just got the greenlight to sell $6.5 billion in Bitcoin seized from Silk Road,' written by Catherine McGrath, published on January 9, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST. The article focuses on regulatory developments surrounding Bitcoin."
