Palantir CEO Alex Karp says the company’s products are “essentially progressive.”

“I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir — all of our products are essentially progressive,” Karp said.

The unions gotta fight to keep this from getting out of hand. 3 days at most smh

Nithya wants to make more city workers assigned *downtown* go back to the office, in part to increase foot traffic and encourage spending at stores.

“Hey, we are going to need you to sit in traffic for 2 hours per day and burn a shit ton of gas, just so you will buy lunch downtown.”

Fascists tend to seize private property or sell public property to their friends for favors. This is simply protecting public goods 😂😂😂

[The Darklord @TheDarklord76]

Immediate targeting of political opponents.
An actual fundamental trait of Fascists.

@kaniiACFC I respected the no call tbh. Too early in the game for that weak of a call smh

[Luke Wines @lukewines]

LA’s majority-renter precincts favor Raman by 11.1 points.

She also leads by 14.4 in precincts where household income is under $60K, while Bass leads by 7.9 in those at $100K or more.

Los paraguayos sacaron arrastrando del Congreso a un funcionario libertario que se hacía llamar “El Milei paraguayo”
El pueblo se hinchó las PELOTAS de los payasos en el poder

@MilesOMorton She only won 56-ish% in these neighborhoods against Caruso’s conservative agenda. Raman’s proposals doesn’t diverge much from Bass, yet she won about 66% of the vote. Maybe all the compounding issues of renting in LA led to a strong anti-establishment swing?

[The.Fall.OFF @Vida_the_Vidal]

Both the left & the right have to come to an agreement about this shit.

This is an insane image.

[agua de maracuyá @egga__]

[The Basin @TheBasinLA]

@Angela4CA @theglowingstars 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 it’s time to actually abolish ICE

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

I have a new piece out

Reflecting on 20 years of struggles, it goes into what abolish ICE does - and doesn't - mean; merging of immigration enforcement with policing & military power; how fascism is made through bordering; and what the border even is

In an NBC News poll last week, Hakeem Jeffries had an approval rating of 18%, and Chuck Schumer's was 13%. It's wild seeing them both act like they have mandates to lead the party going forward.

The map is live!

We mapped every LA precinct from election night.

And it's completely free!

@marcybats that data shows not only are Black people less right wing on average than queer people, even straight Black people are less right wing than white queers
