Since the Patriot Act passed, the surveillance state has scoffed at the concerns of citizens: "You have nothing to be afraid of if you're not doing anything wrong."
Now the state sends masked agents in unmarked vehicles--irregulars, in the parlance of military law--into U.S. cities to conduct unconstitutional raids and warrantless detentions.
For those of you worried about the exposure of the UK state to the activities & money of Palantir, here's a diagram from The Nerve that is going to do nothing to reassure you at all....
For more details see the investigation published today by The Nerve.
As well as Renee Nicole Good & Alex Pretti, I.C.E. have claimed seven other, *NON-WHITE* victims so far in 2026.... 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
SAY THEIR NAMES!!! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊✊🏻

This morning, ICE was staking out an elementary school bus stop here in Minneapolis. A crowd with whistles chased them off.
Just in case you somehow thought they were leaving Minnesota.
Just in case Senators somehow thought maybe it’s OK to give them a military-sized budget after all just because they demoted that one guy.
@EUCommission In the Netherlands we're slowly approaching 4th of Mei, the yearly memorial of the death. Last year a Neo-fascist member of parliament was allowed to be present at this memorial and in the spotlights. Besides that an activist was not allowed to protest to that anywhere near. Roma and Sinti had their death memorial on another day.
Do we learn from the past ? Do we want to learn ?
If we do not learn from the past why do we keep on having these yearly memorials and these daily photos of Auschwitz memorial on Mastodon boosted by many people ?
Dutch government and Dutch companies are complicit in the ongoing genocide, starvation, torturing and dehumanization of the Palestinian people. But since decades it is economy and profits first in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is by far the top trader number one in Europe when it comes to trading goods with the terrorist state of Israel. The false idea that Israel is the only place safe for Jews is used as a cover to continue profiting, ethnic cleansing, racism and exploitation.
And this is about politicians which ought to represent the people. But do they ? Or do they represent the lobby groups, climate change deniers and the weapon industry ?
Never again is NOW, and that includes Gaza, Westbank, and Sudan #boycott #israel
@EUCommission
Never again¹
1. Okay, again but only so long as it happens in non-EU nations like Ukraine, Syria, Israel, etc.
The woman who survived
five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago last fall,
-- only to be criminally charged and then cleared,
now wants a judge’s permission to share records that
show how the feds respond when “their agents use deadly force against U.S. citizens.”
#Marimar #Martinez’s lawyer argued Monday that
top Trump administration officials continue to smear her name,
and that the White House’s false narrative about her arrest
has even seeped into writings by
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
All the while, a standard court order bars Martinez from sharing records in her case.
Designed to protect against the improper disclosure of evidence,
attorney Chris Parente says the order has
instead become
“a prophylactic to countering a pernicious misinformation campaign mounted by the United States.”
“They are forcing the public,
and Supreme Court justices,
to have to rely solely on the government’s
inaccurate version of events,”
Parente wrote.
“This court has the power to shed light on the truth of what happened on October 4.”
Marimar Martinez is blocked from releasing evidence in her case by what's known as a "protective order." Though standard, her attorney says it's “become an albatross” around her neck and “keeps the entire country in the dark."
