The United States has tasked Palantir with creating a massive database of all Americans, DHS is taking DNA from migrant children and putting it into criminal database, Trump raises tariffs on steel
Yeah, I don’t get it either. My brother is one. If my mom was still alive she’d take a shotgun to him—knowing. It’s so embarrassing and frustrating. These people won’t or can’t see what all this is leading to. I still think the Gates of Hell opened and the demons poured forth to take us over.
Yep and it’s all in Russell Vought’s 2022 essay he released on the web and then incorporated into the Project 2025 manifesto and through his Center for Renewing America in a conservative Christian nationalist framework. He and Stephen Miller are like the two lead demons from
Terrifying. What even more disturbing is that most people are going about their business completely oblivious to any of this. They think we’re disturbed for even thinking it can happen.
Myra, they’d be wrong. Anyone doubting the evil intentions of the Trump administration is stupid.trump can barely read and he’s picking on universities so much better and finer than he is.
Tell me we aren’t in Germany Nazi without telling me weren’t in Germany Nazi. A database of American citizens. Get ready to see regular US citizens “disappear.” Soon we will have gas chambers. We are only in this a few months…
Yes. Hitler and his nazi thugs tasked IBM to develop the technology to manage and easily access national census data, ghetto data, military logistics, train traffic (I'm not referring to family fun train rides), and concentration camp capacity. IBM worked for them from the beginning of the Third Reich to the end of WWII, even while THE UNITED STATES WAS IN WAR WITH GERMANY. WAKE UP, PEOPLE. I'm preaching to the choir, aren't I?
And I just read yesterday about some high tech German company is still working with Russia, all the while pretending they aren’t, because well, it’s just a subsidiary!! Like WTF ?!?! 🤬
Providing stuff to a country that’s attacking your neighbor & who may eventually invade you too?
Seems a bit nuts to me; but of course it’s all about making money, no matter what.
Read about Palantir sometime back because they were set up to take over the UK’s NHS data system, I believe they got the contract. If I remember right they also do for the military in the Middle East, drones. I am going to do my research again if I can stop 🤮
Now I’m going to have to research the UK. The National Health Service is what we all used, and I assumed it was Government run. But this was before computers (I was born in London in 1945). Thank you for another lead down the rabbit hole.
Well, I just took a quick look at the NHS website and it appears to still be run by the Government with loads of employees and strict privacy protections.
Actually, you’re right. They (under the name Foundry) had a contract with NHS to aggregate data during Covid according to their website. But the Government is in charge of providing the National Health services.
Migraines are awful and the stress just adds to that. I am so grateful to you, Aaron, for all the work you do in spite of the threats. We are all with you and support you. Love you.
No, we can't "throw the baby out with the bath water." We don't want to surrender to the forces of Mordor. Our ancestors fought more than this. We have right on our side and we are going to hold it together. Hobbled or not. A lot to rebuild and we can and we will.
Remember there was a very strong Nazi Party here in the USA back before the war. Henry Ford & Charles Lindbergh were horrible antisemites & thought Hitler was right. Black people & other POC have been fighting for their equal rights for centuries & they didn’t give up & flee the nation. None of us should flee either, unless you have maybe been individually targeted by those in power. Stay & fight like hell.
Aaron I know you have a good personal support system. Please use it and be safe. All of this nightmare will still be here if you need to step away for a minute/day/year. 💙
We appreciate everything that you do! If I hear something from someone else, I don’t believe it unless I see you report it. Make sure you are taking care of YOU 💙
Me too! I’m always anxious now and i was always so proud to be an American.Now it’s embarrassing and my heart just breaks every day.Trump and his corrupt cronies don’t give one crap about us! Thank you Aaron👊💙
I believe collecting data was the main goal of DOGE - not "efficiency". It has probably been sold multiple times by now and will be used for surveillance and persecution.
We'd better be more than worried about Palantir and Thiel getting our data. That is definitely terrifying. How did we come to be subjected to a bunch of South African apartheid guys?
OMG, this seems highly illegal. How TF is this not now Nazi Germany 1930's? I bet they're lying, too. Part of that database came from MuskRat who swooped in and stole our data. Un-fucking-real. They'll go after more than immigrants. BET!
You’re not wrong. ☹️. They will eventually go after anyone who speaks out against the regime. They already are doing that to more high profile, well known people.
Yes, I see that, too. This is insane, though. This is not Nazi Germany and I don't give a fuck what they do. I'll die for my freedom, thank you very much. I didn't swear-in to a dictator. I will NOT serve a king, dictator, authoritarian, or bully. Not in my democracy state-of-mind. I'm too old for that shit and know better.
Use this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”
Congress doesn't care! They don't have enough balls for this. Nobody's coming to save us, not even our own congress. I said a long time ago, it's up to us now. People keep thinking it's on someone else. NOPE! Resistances are moving too slowly, but we don't own the dissemination of information. Oligarchs & techbros do. Ummmmm...
While I agree, that doesn’t mean we can’t annoy the heck out of them and stress out their staff in the process. Keep bombarding phones, inboxes - but ultimately we have to protest, we have to strike, we have to do other things as well, and I agree, we have to do them more often.
Yes, of course we can muck up the works. By the millions. They have people answering phones so it doesn't fall on their heads. THEY DO NOT CARE, or they would've done something by now. If the receptionists quit, they'll just hire new ones. We might bring down their internet servers, though. That would be funny & necessary.
Time for some real outside-the-box thinking right now. I have 0 faith in congress. They're moving slower than the resistance, and most of them don't care. They're in on this grab for the U.S.
I suppose every little bit helps, but this is so massive that it's going to take some massive solutions as well. They're moving at lightning speed. Project 2025 is 42% complete, and we've got to figure out how to get word out without TV or corporate media. They're intentionally keeping the lid on everything with propaganda, buying those folks time to move faster than the U.S. can move against them.
I'd tell everybody what I think, but it would only worry folks more than cause that outside-the-box mentality. Doing the same thing over & over again, expecting different results is the definition of insanity, spinning your wheels, and PLAYING IT SAFE!
Dammit, I miss the courage of folks in the 1960's ... when I was growing up. 🤨
Oh I’m up for whatever the next thing to be big. I’m ready. I just know I have to do something right now, and speaking up even if it goes on mostly deaf ears is something. I’m ready for a general strike if that’s what’s next. We have to be big right now, I agree.
I totally understand what you’re saying; however, we must DO SOMETHING (as First Lady Mrs. Obama stated at the DNC last year). After all, the forces of tyranny, injustice, corruption, and evil (because yes, they ARE evil) want us to give in to despair and helplessness.
That's right, and I'm all in anyway. I've never been one to sit around with my head up my ass and do nothing. That's why I'm making so much noise in here & doing things elsewhere. I've been talking about this stuff since asshole was in office the first time, and I'm done talking. I happen to type very fast, so I'm not spending all my time here.
People better wake up and find the leader within themselves; act accordingly. If you're all in, you really won't be waiting for someone else to tell you what to do. There is a danger hanging out talking, talking, talking about this crap on social media instead of plotting your course. Can't be part of the resistance hanging around here doing the internet version of flapping gums. That's partially why we're in this mess. 😆😆
That’s why we, our side, must remain peaceful. We need to learn de-escalation techniques & be committed to booting out anyone in our group who tries to escalate things. I saw one suggestion that every protest group should implement in case any maga try to infiltrate & start property destruction or personal violence; & that is to immediately sit down on the sidewalk, pavement, grass, whatever; so that the only ones standing & visible to police will be the disruptors.
With that database, we can't fucking wait around for 2026. Are people crazy right now? What makes you think there will ever be free & fair elections again? Get your head out of the sand, Americans. This regime waged war on the U.S. back in January! We have to stop them.
Don’t put no shit like this hanging off my comment without explanation. I'm not some young dude looking for work. I’m a retired software consultant, disabled, and a veteran. Think again and don’t waste my time with foolishness. Deal? 🤨
BTW, I don't click on unsolicited, bare-boned links.
I’m asking not if this is moral or ethical but is there a legal basis to create this data base and what it’s going to be used for. The government has so much of our information, but to place the collection/consolidation in the hands of a private company (never mind the owner is scary extreme right wing) but to what purpose and where is the justification for its inception? That amoral unconstitutional and downright evil actions are being done every moment of this administration, I ask what has happened to the branches of government set up so not one would hold such absolute power? How could the rule of law be swept aside so easily? It has lasted over 200 years to be dismantled/demolished by a thick black sharpie and chainsaw
Presidents, both Democratic and Republican, have been accumulating power for years. The culmination is Trump, especially since the SCOTUS6 imbued him with essentially absolute immunity. In 1787, George Mason, saw the weaknesses in the nascent Constitution, which he memorialized in his 16 objections, printed in September of that year. He was against unrestrained presidential pardon power (#8), and felt the government would “vibrate” between a “corrupt tyrannical aristocracy” or “monarchy” and end up as one or the other (#15). He refused to sign off on the final iteration. The bottom line is that the US Constitution had big holes in it from the very beginning, just waiting for someone to drive a truck through them. https://www.archives.gov/files/legislative/resources/education/bill-of-rights/images/mason.pdf
It baffles my mind that those who support freedom and liberty are standing with someone who wants to control the population. The delusion is strong
Yeah, I don’t get it either. My brother is one. If my mom was still alive she’d take a shotgun to him—knowing. It’s so embarrassing and frustrating. These people won’t or can’t see what all this is leading to. I still think the Gates of Hell opened and the demons poured forth to take us over.
I hope those who are questioning things wake up soon.
I agree with everyone of you! Although I’ve been wondering when they would do this. ☮️
I would have to agree with you here, Claire.
Wait, is "one" what? Working in DOGE? A mere trumpfist? What,
Trumper
Then IN THE DUMPER!
You're right, but it’s not just delusion. It’s by design.
When “freedom” is sold without responsibility, it becomes a weapon.
Authoritarians hijack the language of liberty to build loyalty while quietly building control.
Our task isn’t just to wake up others, it's to shield what’s still sacred.
You’re right, it’s all by design.
Yep and it’s all in Russell Vought’s 2022 essay he released on the web and then incorporated into the Project 2025 manifesto and through his Center for Renewing America in a conservative Christian nationalist framework. He and Stephen Miller are like the two lead demons from
Hell. IMHO.
Yes, Project 2025 isn’t just a policy blueprint. It’s a theological weaponization of the state.
Vought, Miller, and others are building a purity regime, one where dissent isn’t debated, it’s purged.
That’s why shielding what’s sacred means more than speech.
It means organizing, disrupting, and protecting at every level, before their doctrine becomes law.
Terrifying. What even more disturbing is that most people are going about their business completely oblivious to any of this. They think we’re disturbed for even thinking it can happen.
Myra, they’d be wrong. Anyone doubting the evil intentions of the Trump administration is stupid.trump can barely read and he’s picking on universities so much better and finer than he is.
Can't believe MaHa isn't reacting. We are cooked. Breathtakingly, brazen.
Tell me we aren’t in Germany Nazi without telling me weren’t in Germany Nazi. A database of American citizens. Get ready to see regular US citizens “disappear.” Soon we will have gas chambers. We are only in this a few months…
Sorry. We're in Nazi AmeriKKKa right now.
Well expressed. Thanks.
Yes. Hitler and his nazi thugs tasked IBM to develop the technology to manage and easily access national census data, ghetto data, military logistics, train traffic (I'm not referring to family fun train rides), and concentration camp capacity. IBM worked for them from the beginning of the Third Reich to the end of WWII, even while THE UNITED STATES WAS IN WAR WITH GERMANY. WAKE UP, PEOPLE. I'm preaching to the choir, aren't I?

Seems a bit nuts to me; but of course it’s all about making money, no matter what.
Exactly.
Well, I had not known that about IBM working with Nazi Germany all the way from beginning to the end!!!!!!
I'm sure we already have gas chambers
I am VERY wary of trump's idea of re-opening Alcatraz as a "prison".
Can't say I Like this situation Can
How can he do anything with tarrifs ? What happened to the court order ? What happened to the judge that demanded kidnapped immigrants be returned ?
Data bases, DNA gathering ?
Time to fight or flee.
I agree, time to leave asap!
Peter Thiel—the mastermind behind much of the useful idiot’s antics. This news is really terrifying.
Read about Palantir sometime back because they were set up to take over the UK’s NHS data system, I believe they got the contract. If I remember right they also do for the military in the Middle East, drones. I am going to do my research again if I can stop 🤮
Now I’m going to have to research the UK. The National Health Service is what we all used, and I assumed it was Government run. But this was before computers (I was born in London in 1945). Thank you for another lead down the rabbit hole.
The UK government, much like Trump is doing to us here in the US, was looking for a better healthcare data base system to improve services.
Well, I just took a quick look at the NHS website and it appears to still be run by the Government with loads of employees and strict privacy protections.
Hi, Katharine, maybe the contract was rescinded?
https://healthcareleadernews.com/news/us-tech-giant-palantir-wins-nhs-federated-data-platform-contract/
Actually, you’re right. They (under the name Foundry) had a contract with NHS to aggregate data during Covid according to their website. But the Government is in charge of providing the National Health services.
Absolutely terrifying
arrogant self hating prick
Follow my thread with DEO above. Also, I just posted a New Yorker profile of Thiel to my notes.
Who do we sue, Peter Thiel? Trump has immunity.
You sound so (understandably) weary. 🙂↕️ It hurts my heart. 💔 I hate the POS POTUS and his cronies.
Yea really not in the best headspace either right now
Migraines are awful and the stress just adds to that. I am so grateful to you, Aaron, for all the work you do in spite of the threats. We are all with you and support you. Love you.
I’m not sure he literally means migraine. I read that more like depression. 😓 Either way, they both suck and are concerning.
Is it time to seriously consider leaving?😒
No, we can't "throw the baby out with the bath water." We don't want to surrender to the forces of Mordor. Our ancestors fought more than this. We have right on our side and we are going to hold it together. Hobbled or not. A lot to rebuild and we can and we will.

Aaron I know you have a good personal support system. Please use it and be safe. All of this nightmare will still be here if you need to step away for a minute/day/year. 💙
Please take care of yourself that is important to ♥️ As for this News why can't we Stand together and do something anything at this point
Someone told me to Stop paying Taxes but I'm not sure how to do that 😔
We appreciate everything that you do! If I hear something from someone else, I don’t believe it unless I see you report it. Make sure you are taking care of YOU 💙
I was thinking the same. We still hear your passion @aaron. But you, more than us, need a break, Son.
Me too! I’m always anxious now and i was always so proud to be an American.Now it’s embarrassing and my heart just breaks every day.Trump and his corrupt cronies don’t give one crap about us! Thank you Aaron👊💙
SS
I believe collecting data was the main goal of DOGE - not "efficiency". It has probably been sold multiple times by now and will be used for surveillance and persecution.
WORSE, now unelected Musk has your data too.
Agreed
And we were worried about TikTok getting all our data.
I wasn't. I was more worried about this place and those lunatics who stole this country ... again!
We'd better be more than worried about Palantir and Thiel getting our data. That is definitely terrifying. How did we come to be subjected to a bunch of South African apartheid guys?
South Africans are known for their bigotry so Trump can’t get enough.
Right, that seems rather quaint now. 😬
OMG, this seems highly illegal. How TF is this not now Nazi Germany 1930's? I bet they're lying, too. Part of that database came from MuskRat who swooped in and stole our data. Un-fucking-real. They'll go after more than immigrants. BET!

There WILL be Civil War
It’s what they want for sure.
Absolutely, so if there is violence, he can declare a military state - #QuietPeacefulDemonstrations
That’s why we, our side, must remain peaceful. We need to learn de-escalation techniques & be committed to booting out anyone in our group who tries to escalate things.

We're already in it.
Take care and I am sooo grateful for your honest reporting and I look forward to your dailies!!
Is this legal?
Legally Trump should be impeached by now. Congress don’t care. We NEED 2026 to be a blue tidal wave.
With that database, we can't fucking wait around for 2026. Are people crazy right now? What makes you think there will ever be free & fair elections again? Get your head out of the sand, Americans. This regime waged war on the U.S. back in January! We have to stop them.

There aren'tenough gays and blue haired people for that. Were outnumbered
NOTHING they do is legal and they don’t give a damn.
Of course not. Since when has that stopped this regime? Because of stupid SCOTUS, they gave him free reign to make up whatever he pleases. 🙄😡
I’m asking not if this is moral or ethical but is there a legal basis to create this data base and what it’s going to be used for.

This should be the last straw!
This is fucking alarming!!!
Sounds like this is what Doge was really doing?
Can’t say I’m shocked but this company should terrify everyone.
