Brilliantly put.

The Beast doesn’t roar—it calculates.
Not a sword, but a spreadsheet.
And still, it conquers.

When the scroll becomes code
and prophecy becomes policy,
we are no longer free to forget—only to be forgotten by design.

The Most Terrifying Company in America Is Probably One You’ve Never Heard Of
Palantir’s rise reflects the direction liberal democracies are taking: toward automated judgment and algorithmic inference—and toward control, streamlined, scalable, surgical.

Lo, the Beast is called Palantir—
forged not of flesh.
It feasteth upon thy steps,
that it may whisper all to the Faux Emperor.

With scroll and algorithm,
doth he seek dominion.

And the faithful shall know:
invisible chains are chains nonetheless,
and the cage of knowing is still a prison.

SURPRISE! All of this stupid shit is just gonna wind up *moving more business overseas*, not bringing any of it back. (And by 'surprise,' I mean that literally everyone with half a brain warned that this was exactly what would happen.)
"Roughly one-third of US auto parts suppliers said they would move production outside of the US if 25% tariffs on Canada & Mexico stay in place for six months.... Nearly a quarter...said they would cut or delay investments if tariffs lasted just a month" buff.ly/KX7Od5W

The DHS agents said that the State Dept revoked Khalil’s green card.”

As a country and as a public, we’re going to have to demand that these spoiled brats face consequences to the full extent of the law
It remains important to say true things, including that they are breaking the law.

The protections of SSA data are statutory and set by Congress; the Executive branch is not Constitutionally permitted to override them.
DOGE went over SSA's head to get full access to the data (which includes loads of personal information).

God, I just love real America so much.
Crowd at Democratic U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan’s town meeting in rural Belmont, Wisconsin, is so large that it spills out the door of the local community center. The repeated demand from farmers, retirees, teachers, small business owners: “Do more to push back against Trump and Musk!”
