Years of lucrative Army contracts explain why Palantir, of all companies, was one of the sponsors of Trump’s Army parade last weekend. And why a Palantir executive has been made a lieutenant colonel. Not great.

"In these situations, one expects to hear that the shooter was in the midst of a psychotic episode." Instead, he was a seemingly functional, deeply religious family man. That is terrifying.

Bisbee is a tiny artsy town (less than 5000 population) with a vibrant queer community near the AZ-Mexico border and a bunch of Border Patrol agents rolled up to Bisbee Pride this weekend and snatched people up right as the parade was about to kick off.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Not enough attention on Blue Labour's insidious relationship with Thiel and Karp's CIA spytech company Palantir who have 24 contracts with UK public institutions, including the NHS, the Police Force, the Ministry of Defence, the Cabinet Office, and the DLUHC. No one voted for this.

“Whilst this may involve a degree of disruption in family life this is considered to be proportionate to the legitimate aim of maintaining effective immigration control.” This is inhuman. Imagine being the person writing this.

Manipulative neocons exploited Trump’s jealous hatred of Obama to convince him to rip up the JCPOA, precisely so we’d arrive at the crossroads we’ve reached today. He’s giving them what they used him for, because he’s exactly the mark they thought he was. www.offmessage.net/p/18-thought...

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

What I learned today is that the @nytopinion.nytimes.com doesn’t believe in young people of color in leadership. Time and time again people tout “seniority” and “experience”. 75 years ago, there were no women of color elected in NY. Where is “seniority” or “experience” to come from for us?
