This is so true. I still don't consider myself 'political' but I know this is why I have been more involved in the process the past 10 years. It's not about the politics, it's about the future of our world.
Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true.

You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into.

We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.

Palantir has been a major ICE contractor since 2011, and it provides a sweeping set of analytical tools for the agency. Until now, however, almost nothing has been known about Palantir’s work processing tips for ICE.

The author rightly draws parallels between what’s happening in Minneapolis and the Jan25th Egyptian revolution in terms of the organic nature of leaderless movements.

I curated Twitter content during the Arab Spring and was close with many participants. Tahrir Square has come to mind often lately.

Mike Johnson was covering up child rape a full year before Pam Bondi made it trendy.
The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz sex trafficked minors.

He raped minors.

He paid minors for sex.

And Mike Johnson kept the report sealed.

This was the man they wanted to be Attorney General.

…don’t you realize they’re covering for Trump?
