Let’s normalize #LaborUnions in every industry! If Hollywood actors have SAG-AFTRA and NHL players have the NHLPA, why shouldn’t tech workers?

What is #Palantir? And why is this corporation so dangerous?

The company conducts #MassSurveillance in the service of #StateViolence, from #ICE’s #deportation machine to the #genocide in #Gaza.

By Kenny Morris, Feb 11, 2026

"#PeterThiel is a central co-founder of Palantir. He is a #billionaire venture #capitalist, conservative libertarian, and an early investor in Facebook who made much of his money from founding PayPal. According to Theil, 'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.

How can we stop Palantir?

"#AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.

"Visit our #PurgePalantir campaign page to:

- Contact the leadership of hospitals, universities, and other corporations using Palantir to urge them to #divest from the company.
- Find a map of Palantir offices, some of its corporate clients, and elected officials who have received money from Palantir. Use it to find where the company is in your community and plan an action to challenge it.
- Are you a health care worker? You can join organized nurses and doctors across the U.S. pushing the surveillance company out of our hospitals [and the #NHS in the #UK].

"Learn more about the company and join the growing campaign to stand up to Palantir."

Twin Cities #Unions Planning ‘Largest US Rent Strike in 100+ Years’ as ICE Occupation Drives Eviction Crisis
“Tenants in Minnesota are in a crisis,” said Minneapolis City Council Member Aisha Chughtai. “The federal invasion forced many of our neighbors to stay home and devastated our local economy.”

Tenant and #LaborUnions in Minneapolis and St. Paul have announced plans to carry out what they said would be the “largest #RentStrike in the United States in the last 100 years.”

Beginning on March 1, if Democratic #Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz does not meet their urgent demands for an eviction moratorium and rent relief, a coalition of nearly 26,000 #workers has pledged to withhold rent, which they said could create a massive economic disruption.

"Unionizing at a massive scale would allow us to win certified bargaining agreements with management, protect ourselves from arbitrary layoffs and establish a voice in the key business decisions that impact our lives."

Unions in Big Tech Are Essential

If tech workers want to leverage the power to secure our jobs and have real ownership over our work, we must continue to organize.

Progressive.org

Laying off hard working tech workers is disgusting and evil. It is pretty hard to get a job at big tech. I hope these tech billionaires die from heart attack or cancer.

No work, no shopping, no dining out. Hundreds of businesses across #Minnesota are expected to close and many people are vowing to pause everyday activities on Friday as part of a #GeneralStrike against the #Trump administration’s #immigration crackdown.

As tensions mount and a sense of fear of detention by immigration agents permeates the state, vendors, #LaborUnions and residents are set to participate in an economic blackout and gather at prayers and #protests on what organizers called a “Day of Truth and Freedom.”

Almost 15,000 nurses who work for three separate hospital systems have been on strike since 12 January, holding out for increased staffing, better safety in hospitals, and improved #healthcare benefits. The #NewYork State #Nurses Association (NYSNA) has pointed to the giant pay packages that hospital CEOs have received, at a time when #nurses say there are too few of them to adequately care for patients.

The #strike has pulled support from #ZohranMamdani, the #NewYorkCity mayor, and Bernie Sanders, the democratic #socialist Vermont senator, both of whom joined striking nurses outside a Mount Sinai #hospital on Tuesday.
