Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data.

It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America.https://youtu.be/x_VwyhErd88?si=4Ptdx0tQBOBOUin1

Trump and Secretary Noem claim these militarized ICE crackdowns target “the worst of the worst.”

The data says the opposite.

70 percent of ICE arrestees have no criminal history whatsoever.
Remarkably few of the immigrants arrested in big-city ICE operations have had violent criminal records, via Albert Sun:

Only a 20 day suspension for this.

NOT a termination for absolutely obvious abuse of power.

20 days. Black officers and employees get fired for so much less.

My Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act establishes real standards for immigrant detention and phases out for-profit facilities.

This corrupt administration shouldn’t be allowed to funnel billions of dollars to private prisons companies who donated millions to Trump’s campaign.

Every paper in America should have a 6 inch headline:
Sitting Member of Congress, Adelita Grivalja, Attacked by Trump's ICE with Chemical Weapons.

The Congresswoman was hit by gas pellet munitions when coming upon an ICE abduction at a restaurant she frequents in her community.

There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really.

Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.
Anyone who knows this history should know there’s no contested issue.

New in PN: Trump follows through on an especially ugly campaign promise

"For years, Donald Trump has fantasized about lawlessly killing 'drug dealers.' Now he's making that happen even as he pardons actual drug kingpins."

The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers.

Wealthy ranchers are profiting — at the expense of taxpayers.

I’m a little confused as to why ICE has or needs dogs tbh
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

When I taught Civics, I used Supreme Court cases to trace our expansion of rights to demonstrate democratic values.

If I were still teaching Civics today, I would need to place the concepts of 'precedent,' 'stare decisis,' and 'rule of law' in the trash bin.

This SCOTUS is corrupt.

MAGA has raised more than 20K for this horrible woman who gleefully admitted she was a racist in a viral video and then used the N word against Somali customers.

They see her as a hero and martyr.

They're revealing themselves fully.

Are they doing politics "the right way?"
