With J6ers getting jobs in the justice department, and presidential memorandum NSPM-7 targeting the “left-wing” and “anti-fascists” as terrorists, it's never been more important to support those tracking the far right.

Peter Thiel has promoted the Sovereign Individual, which says that the shift from “mass democracy” to “individual sovereignty” can happen “invisibly” (and without a shift in public opinion) via tax-free zones & free ports & that the power of nation states will eventually splinter into fragments. 1/

BIG DEAL on voting rights this morning: Governor Spanberger just restored the voting rights of some 60,000+ Virginians. Her move reverses Youngkin's abrupt decision in 2023 to end automatic voting rights restoration, which brought Virginia back to a system of default lifetime disenfranchisement.

This is the only state that, absent action by the governor, bans people convicted of any felony from voting for life. Virginians have an opportunity to end that system for good in November.

Investors tell 10th Circuit Palantir sold artificially inflated stocks

How’d I miss this? In 2022, the WSJ reported that Palantir’s revenue-inflation strategy of investing $400M in 20 startups while requiring those startups to buy Palantir software had “backfired” when the startups financially collapsed. (Per the WSJ, Palantir “stopped doing such investments.”) 1/
Also of note: former fitness instructor Sonja Shaw (the MAGA candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction) never went to college so it’s wild to hear her opinions about “professors.”
MAGA mama bears Elizabeth Barcohana and Sonja Shaw went on Fox News last night to do weird red scare fear mongering about schools. Of note- Barcohana is introduced as an ambassador for the America First Women’s Initiative 1/2

We all need to denounce Elon Musk, who is a racist piece of crap. We need to boycott his shitty cars. We need to boycott his shitty social media platform. We need to win the midterms and pressure the government to cancel his federal contracts.
When Elon Musk says "zero" children died in Africa from his DOGE cuts, he really means zero children died who are *worthy of any concern.* It's vile coded signaling to his global fascist audience. From me and @polphilpod.bsky.social, a deep dive into Musk's fascism: newrepublic.com/article/2135...

There it is. RFK Jr’s son, “Finn” Kennedy recently launched his own investment fund focused on AI in healthcare. It should surprise no one that he worked at 8VC—the investment fund launched by Peter Thiel’s Palantir co-founder (Joe Lonsdale)—in 2025. 4/24/26 … 1/ www.facebook.com/financialtim...
