like unironically the Democratic Party of Korea has handled Yoon coup exactly how you should treat a direct attack on constitutional government and democracy
also an aside, a partisan political attack on our democracy was never going to have a non-partisan legalist solution, its a fundamentally a political problem
the theory behind the "investigation" of donald trump was that an event which had never before happened and which the entire conservative legal movement existed to prevent (the prosecution of a republican president for a crime) would occur mechanically by operation of law, without biden's approval.

We know this was Palantir's goal because .. they told us so. They wanted to combine all federal data to build a surveillance state. And they recruited young programmers for their new project with explicitly fascist ads. As bad as ICE agents are, they are - like Elon - tools of a bigger project. 2/
Why is Palantir now placing ads saying it is "a moment of reckoning", that culture is in decline, that Palantir must "ensure America's future", that "we build to dominate"? Because they are looking for recruits willing to do illegal acts - to build a tech fantasia data-surveillance dictatorship. 4/

Elon Musk's DOGE was not a failure - for the people behind Elon. Sure, it cut no costs and ruined Elon's reputation, but it exfiltrated data from every federal agency and delivered it to Peter Thiel's Palantir, which then created the app ICE agents are using to target immigrant neighborhoods. 1/
“It’s basically a map of the United States. It’s kind of like Google Maps.” This is how an ICE agent described the app Palantir worked on for finding neighborhoods to raid.
I've seen the interface, it does look exactly like that www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.
