ICE Has Been Dumping Protester Photos Into a Palantir Database
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.

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph
Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential 
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic 
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is 
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted 
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s 
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those 
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is 
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not 
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

And that last part at church really bothered me. I remember asking where in the bible Jesus put qualifiers on the “love thy neighbor” commandment. I really thought it was all our neighbors we should love and respect… not just those that look or pray like us.

I don’t remember the bond among all Americans so much as I remember the horrific Islamophobia and xenophobia I witnessed shortly after. I remember classmates fearing for the safety of their Muslim parents. I remember the fear mongering in my (southern baptist) church.

We're only eight days into spring and Queensland is in flames. This is runaway global heating. This is what happens when weak politicians addicted to corporate cash let coal and gas companies write government policy. Labor must act. No more coal. No more gas. Transition now.

Honestly kinda funny that every last drop of attraction to him evaporated the instant he no longer worked with me. I only wanted what I wasn’t supposed to. 😂 can someone slap some better taste into me? Because objectively homie wasn’t even attractive, and he was a bit of a manipulative creep.
