It turns out it was not just the US military that was a paper tiger:
The Iranian Handala Hack Group has been hacking Palantir's infrastructure like there is no tomorrow.
So worried in keeping people "safe" they actually provided an easy and reliable targetting tool for whoever dares to use it.

Decades of history show that the Democrats are repeatedly the party of #capitalism alongside of the Republicans. They have continued to move further right. This is not a party that actually wants to build a fair, just and equitable society or one that cares about expanding #democracy. This is a party that relies on the lack of other choices and one that will almost always support the ruling class. They rely on an a #politics & electoral system that offers no choice to bully all of us who are not a part of the ruling class, which is most of us.

The #Democrats, as a rule, are the other party of the 1%.They have no interest in fighting #fascism because they're also a party of power.

The working class of the #US will never break this cycle unless we organize and build something new to bypass this system. Working "in the system" is a trap. We've stuck in decades of refusing to try.

We need to recapture the spirit of the resistance and organizing by #labor from 1860-1930.

Just wondering if we would have had the War in Ukraine, had not Victoria Nuland, Geoffrey Pyatt and the US government hadn't interfered in the country's politics and started the "Orange Revolution".
The EU was serving as a trojan horse allowing the back then NATO to extend US influence, let us not forget.
