In Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, a “palantir” is a seeing stone that can be used to distort truth and present selective visions of reality.
Peter Thiel's Palantir sells an AI-based data platform that allows its users-military and law enforcement agencies-to identify and surveil individuals.

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.
And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

"Republicans have set things up such that it is nearly impossible for everything to go the way it was intended, and instead the process of selecting a President is almost guaranteed to be successfully corrupted in favour of the Republican party."
Please read and share this. It shapes all my thinking about the future of the US right now, and it explains why Trump and the GOP are behaving the way they do.
There is a near zero chance a Democrat will be sworn in as President in 2029, no matter how people vote.

The AI revolution never seems to threaten those who stand to profit the most from it — just the 99.9 percent of us building their batteries.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp told the World Economic Forum that AI will shift most work to vocational and manufacturing roles, destroy humanities jobs, and increase demand for technicians in sectors such as battery manufacturing.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

Minnesota legend Charles M. Schulz knew what made a great citizen. “Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country.”

Several countries have issued travel warnings for their citizens who want to travel to the USA due to this administration. Just a quick google search have listed 5 countries. Not only are they concerned about DHS & ICE, but they are concerned about LGBTQ and natural disasters.

How is it possible that a man with 6+ bankruptcies & a failed bankrupt casino thinks he can make Fed policy?
And how is it possible that an entire political party who used to promote themselves as "fiscally conservative" is doing nothing to stop this madness?

Kevin Hassett might do Trump’s bidding at the Federal Reserve—marking a new stage in the president’s control over the American economy, Rogé Karma argues.

So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?
