Big Brother is here - it's Palantir! [1]

Palantir has always been into family separation but during Trump’s second term, this company has gotten even more fascist.
Palantir is behind the largest workplace raid in this country — it took place at a Mississippi poultry processing factory in 2019. They arrested 680 people that day. These days, considering that Trump 2.0 needs to deport either between 15-20 million people which he campaigned on, or 65 million people, as his bestie Laura Loomer recently alluded to:
65 million Americans are Hispanic, just in case you didn’t know what she meant
It’s clear that Palantir needs to step up if they want to keep up (by an order of 4-5 magnitude. Ha! Good luck!). And step up they have:
Palantir interns joined DOGE
Palantir is part of the S&P 500
Palantir has sponsored the Big, Beautiful Parade as a bribe to get one of their executives a Lt Colonel position in the army. Not only is it not deserved, but they plan to use it to get more bribes. (Current bribes are worth $800 million)
Palantir owns all our data, which means all government arms can know all about you. (Reminder, we got rid of this after IBM helped Germany exterminate Jews and the US Census helped America inter Japanese Americans during WWII.) Basically, “this information was originally siloed for important reasons: to protect your privacy, to prevent different branches of government from using sensitive data to punish or harass you, and to perserve the trust in and legitimacy of important civic institutions.” (EFF)
IBM sold tech to NAZIS. Palantir sells tech to ICE #NoTechForICE
We ran Palantir out of town during Trump 1.0. They used to have their headquarters in Palo Alto, CA, but they are now in Denver, CO.
::record scratch::
And now we’re in 2025, where Palantir apparently has access to all our health data. Diabetes? No health care for you. Childhood cancer? No health care for you.
During Trump’s first term, we protested Palantir’s part in keeping kids in cages. This time around, their claws are in everything.
At the latest protest, they surrounded their building with tall rental vehicles so that no one on Alma (a busy thoroughfare) could see our demonstrations. Even so, we made national news.
If the vans obscure the protest, we stand on the vans
Palantir powers DOGE. Palantir powers ICE. Palantir is behind the genocide in Gaza. Palantir has millions, maybe billions, in government contracts because Peter Thiel is in good with JD Vance. Palantir has offices all around the US — I won’t list them now because protesters are hoping to bring them to light on their own. Once they do, will you be okay with a Palantir office in your hometown?
