SCOOP: Tensions at Palantir have grown in recent weeks over the company's work with ICE.

On Friday, CEO Alex Karp tried to calm concerns in an hourlong video that offered few specifics—instead offering NDAs to workers who want to understand how it's empowering ICE.

Any sound that Winston made...would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.
“The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill recently rolled out a new policy that permits university officials to record classes without notifying the instructor. It’s a practice administrators have used in the past to investigate professors but have now formalized in writing.”
UNC Admin Can Now, Officially, Secretly Record Faculty
The new policy prohibits students from recording class without permission but explicitly allows administrators to surveil professors for any “lawful purpose.”

Two weeks ago people were certain it was a stroke of genius to delay and "negotiate" giving more money to an agency that just murdered two people for no reason. Now the media has largely moved on bsky.app/profile/inte...
Like the old saying goes, when you have your opponent on the ropes you make a deal to give him 1-2 weeks to recover
Latest intel: The 5 govt funding bills will pass, & the 6th, the DHS bill, will get a continuing resolution to buy time to negotiate whatever these conditions in ICE are. The fight right now btwn Schumer & the White House is how long that CR will be. The WH wants 3 months; Schumer wants 1-2 weeks.

really hard to overstate how much AIPAC fucked up here - not only did they push out the more pro-Israel candidate for not toeing their exact line, they started a blood feud with him and are clearly in the process of making themselves completely unwelcome in Dem politics

Bill Belichick girlfriend Jordan Hudson wears an "Orchids of Asia Day Spa" t-shirt at the UNC/Duke game 3 days ago. The spa is where Patriots owner Robert Kraft was arrested for soliciting prostitutes. Tick tick tick. We all know what's coming when the unredacted Epstein files are released.

"The second I met Epstein, I was disgusted, and I swore I'd never interact with him again."

"And then later you visited him on his private island?"

"Yes. With my wife, four children, my nannies (plural), and another couple. Had lunch with him on the island. Then we all left. It was in 2012"
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

This is the definitive point by Chris Hedges, re: Noam Chomsky and Epstein. Chomsky's entire value as a public intellectual is to know what people like Epstein are up to and why. Him feigning ignorance is absurd, and if it were true it would undermine the rest of his career.

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.

When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

as a Canucks fan, i support China's plans to eliminate hockey
