Many Cs, incl the US, pay🚨Palantir, the #surveillance giant, to spy on ppl, sometimes aids in apprehending them &... The co doesn't care if mistakes are made -destroying lives. It's taking on an increased role with #Immigration & #ICE, incl finding the physical loc of ppl who're marked for deportation. The leak shows that Palantir’s work with ICE includes producing leads for LE to find ppl to deport & keeping track of the logistics of Trump’s mass #deportations. #USPol https://www.404media.co/leaked-palantirs-plan-to-help-ice-deport-people/

When I think of the term “creeping normalisation”, my mind turns to the International Olympic Committee. This was an institution the world once looked up to, but by degrees it began to change.
