When Hitler came to power, he wanted to locate and destroy the Jews of Europe. That required the resources of a computer, but in 1933 no such computer existed. What did exist at the time was the IBM punch card… and Watson was only too happy to help. See “IBM and the Holocaust”

What IBM did for the Third Reich, Palantir now looking to do for Trump's Turd Reich. Palantir to Compile Data on Americans www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

The broligarchy strikes again. South African billionaire Peter Thiel's Palantir. This is the dude who groomed and hand delivered JD Vance to the white house. It's all a big grift at our expense.

yeah sorry if your friend works at Palantir they're not your friend

Huh, weird, this is inconsistent with the Trump admin's claimed interest in combating antisemitism, which has been their basis for detentions and removals without due process as well as illegal attacks on universities and their students.

A federal grand jury indicted a former New Hampshire businessman this week on charges that he orchestrated attacks on the homes of journalists who had investigated claims of sexual misconduct against him.

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

Two day old news but thought I’d share this tentative triumph (you have to take what you can get these days) for Mainers that may have missed it in the ever increasing political chaos. The Wells Police Department had been the first and only agency in Maine to enter into a 287(g) agreement with ICE.

A county with 800 people that is only 1.4% foreign born in Nebraska does not need a 287(g) agreement turning sheriff deputies into ICE agents. nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news...

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

AS PART OF a sweeping reorganization of the State Dept, the fascist is creating an Office of Remigration. Remigration is an extremist immigration policy that calls for the removal of ALL migrants-including “non-assimilated” citizens-with the goal of creating white ethnostates in Western countries.

NEW: @cnn.com confirms that hundreds of FBI agents have been reassigned away from criminal and counterterrorism investigations to instead work with ICE to round up migrants. The security impacts are clear — and may be why the FBI is alleged to be hiding any paper trail.

Columbia faculty held our weekly vigil and we will continue until all our students are home.

All of these countries have issued USA travel advisories: - Germany - United Kingdom - Denmark - Finland - France - Ireland - Netherlands - Portugal - Belgium - Norway - Canada - New Zealand - Australia - Mexico - Venezuela - Uruguay - Japan

So the Rep. from Nebraska told Nebraskans he DIDN’T DO HIS JOB (which is not nearly as hard as most of theirs and pays better) because he just assumes Americans are lazy and don’t deserve health care…which he gets as part of his job… WHAT?!? Hey hey ho ho these REPUBLICANS have got to go!!

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/n... Gift article please read. So many things. First off: I don’t see anywhere that this hardworking student and big brother had “pending or active criminal charges”? So we know that is BS this is not about keeping us safe. He also wasn’t here illegally, in fact

Karolina Leavitt, BA 2015, St. Anselm College, Communications and Political Science, would like to destroy America's world class system of higher education so that your kids can pursue more opportunities in the skilled professions

We are holding prisoners in the US for political reasons RIGHT NOW. Tourists visiting are being asked about their views on Trump as they clear customs CURRENTLY. THIS IS ILLEGAL. The Trump-led Feds have not been chastened. They are announcing more. 1/2

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

www.usatoday.com/story/news/n... She’s been held over three months now.

What are they getting for doing this? What are these ICE agents getting for openly defying a judge’s order? They took him knowing the judge was printing the order to stop them. I can’t take this anymore. This is insanely grotesque.

Trump’s ICE has detained a Washington State legal permanent resident returning from vacation who has lived in the U.S. for 28 years. These attacks on those with legal status are unacceptable and must stop. Release Maximo Londonio NOW. www.newsweek.com/maximo-londo...

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

Please watch this! Our country strip+ searched, imprisoned overnight, denied food and a phone call to a tourist, THE WIFE OF A SERVICE MEMBER! Was she was treated this way, demeaned and traumatized, denied her visit to see her husband and vacation in Hawaii for no reason other than THEY COULD?

This Australian former cop came to the US to visit her husband, who is currently serving in the Army. She was strip searched, denied food, and denied access to a phone and an attorney. www.news.com.au/travel/trave...

You’ve seen who just got promoted to Pentagon press secretary? Kingsley Wilson, despite (erm, correction, in gratitude for) her practice of promoting the grossest antisemitic comments, so yes, maybe Deus lo vult? Hegseth would know.

I wonder why that one book is 1/2 off?
