"On more than one occasion that day, Sveum joked with agents that the real problem is the “females” who get the “dudes” riled up."

Palantir reported $1.5 billion in losses from 2020-2024.

That allowed them to pay $0 in federal income taxes.

So how did they spend $64 million on stock buybacks and pay their CEO $3.3 billion over roughly the same period?

This tax code is a complete joke.

“Indeed, for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and officers was higher per capita than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States.”
They weren't rookies

The two federal agents who murdered Alex Pretti had a combined 20 years of experience with BP or CBP, and simmered in a toxic culture with an absurd crime rate that must be erased, not "reformed"

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

🚨BREAKING

😳 The Wall Street Journal is reporting there is a whistleblower complaint so sensitive against Tulsi Gabbard that it is locked in a safe and the Trump Administration does not know how to notify Congress about it.

I believe this is a reference to the bill that funds everything but DHS, and severs DHS from the six-bill funding package. We need it to pass to get the leverage to defund ICE with the Sanders amendment. Just FYI.

Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

If this is the same Peter Attia MD who was just revealed as one of Bari Weiss's big new additions to CBS News, he can just tell the stories about the "outrageous" life Jeffrey Epstein led on the Evening News.

Think of the ratings!
And Peter Attia MD telling Epstein the biggest problem with being his friend is he can’t tell anyone about the life he lives. Nice.

It's cliched to quote King but he was right about a "single garment of destiny."

A threat to one is a threat to all. When the rights of one is infringed, the rights of all are threatened. It's been an animating aspect of my political activism from the very beginning.
Before I posted this, the Colorado Sun posted video of an ICE officer stealing the phone of a white woman who had been recording him. He grabbed her & throw her down a hill. Authoritarianism was never ever going to stop at the color line, but white folks didn't believe it. Do they believe it now?

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
