In Part 2 of our latest episode, we finally get to the Boss Level in our discussion of the increasingly technocratic impulses of Palantir Technologies: the ultimate evil CEO with a god complex, cofounder/Chairman Peter Thiel. Join us for a discussion of how the PayPal Mafia don got his start, 1/

We open our latest two-part episode with a song by Wisconsin’s @secretmenutheband that tears the Trump regime and late-stage capitalism in general several new holes. The lyrics couldn’t be more fitting for this week’s news: - US markets tank, the latest jobs numbers are staggeringly but..

Who is Alex Karp, the “good cop” cofounder of Palantir Technologies to Theil’s “bad cop”? He portrays himself as a progressive, an enemy of fascism, a victim caught in the crosshairs of a rogue administration. But do his words and actions align? 1/

Someday, when he’s finally gone & this is all over, these need to hang side by side on a museum wall for the whole world to see.

The Empire’s veneer is finally crumbling as the corruption of the ultra-wealthy & those who feed off them is revealed in real-time. It’s a reminder that, as Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber says, ‘Originally, apocalyptic literature existed […] to proclaim a big hope-filled idea that dominant powers are 1/

Been meaning to get to the bottom of this whole Palantir/Peter Thiel/Eye of Sauron thing? 🧿 We’re breaking it down into digestible chunks in a multi-part series. Here’s the first companion newsletter ⬇️

On June 30, Robert Reich published an op-ed in The Guardian entitled ‘Peter Thiel’s Palantir poses a grave threat to Americans,’ in which he wrote, ‘In JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, a “palantír” is a seeing stone that can be used to distort truth and present selective visions of reality.

In this first of a many-part series, we explore the threat posed by the increasingly concerning partnership between 🧿 Palantir/Peter Thiel & the 🍊 regime, including a $150B line item in the “Big Beautiful Bill” 🤮 with implications for biotech surveillance that potentially involves not only Palantir,

Congress? You awake?

Our resident cybersecurity expert @jillianratliff.bsky.social filled in for Katie as cohost again yesterday to help @kegbot1.bsky.social debrief the week’s many developments: -Millions of Americans rallied against the Trump regime -Old Yam Tits’ military birthday parade was a big embarrassing flop ⬇️

Just saw a Threads post with tons of likes & reposts about boycotting Uber bc the owner is pro-Trump, along with the predictable “use Lyft instead” comments. I’m gonna hold everyone’s hands while I tell you this: They’re all in on it. ⬇️

Stay strong, stay united, Democratic governors!

Rather than allowing the inundation of horrific news to overwhelm & demoralize us, which plays right into their plan, we must use the available information to empower ourselves. As @timothysnyder.bsky.social says, ‘We have to get through the surprise and the shock to see the design and the risk.’

‘The truth is, if we’re giving money to ANY of them, we’re helping fund fаsсism bc it’s all going to the same place. These are the ppl behind the scenes funding “conservative think tanks” like the Heritage Foundation (which created Project 2025), profiting from tесh/weapons/surveillance contracts w/

Dispatches from the resistance: The Boss & other celebs, activists, ancestors, politicians, courts, faith leaders, neighbors, middle school kids, even demonic dolls: EVERYONE is pushing back against the regime, and we love to see it!!!

There’s been so much bad news over the past five months. It can be really overwhelming. This week, we wanted to highlight recent WINS. More & more regular Americans are finding their strength, their voices, and ways to not only survive fascism, but fight it. If we go down, then we go down together.

May 9 EO: ‘the Secretary of Homeland Security shall supplement existing enforcement and removal operations by deputizing and contracting with State and local law enforcement officers, former Federal officers, […] and other individuals to increase the enforcement and removal operations force of

Great timing for this book to come out as Roberts makes his rounds and blames teachers for the loss of trust in government. Brand him and his corrupt court, @leahlitman.bsky.social!

Did you know CDC already has a ‘network’ for tracking autism? Fеd govt agencies already have agreements w/ 7 states to use kids’ med & SPED records for rеsеаrch w/o family соnsеnt, & we don’t know what info they can access. Sounds an awful lot like the beginnings of a national autism registry, no?

The history of humanity’s treatment of ppl with intellectual & emotional differences/disabilities is dark. Ppl born neurologically different or who behave ‘abnormally’ due to trauma have been demonized when in truth, most are victims of a world that simply can’t be bothered to understand them. 1/

[email protected] Would super suck if that inbox was flooded with as much bullshit as their task force represents.

President Bukkake of El Salvador is real prick huh? Bankrupts his own country because of his own stupidity and corruption and now kneels at the tiny feet of king bitch boy, refusing to return an American citizen who’s been wrongfully deported to a hell hole in fucking under his control🤷🏼‍♂️

We're trying something new this week and splitting our latest episode into two parts. Part 1: Concern over Trump using the Insurrection Act to weaponize the military against U.S. citizens feels even more relevant given today’s meeting between Trump & El Salvador’s President Bukele…

From the latest installment of our companion newsletter: ‘We all know how fragile men respond to being laughed at, and the ones leading this coup d’etat are no different.  ‘This leads nicely into our final topic from the episode: everything awful being inflicted on this country right now–

Omg YES!!!

Our newest episode just dropped. We start out w/ some chilling news updates, including the EU's recent advisory that citizens prep for a crisis. The current U.S. regime isn't going to give us a similar warning, but we've got you covered ⬇️

In last week’s podcast episode, we discussed what this аросаlурsе has to do with patriarchy (read: EVERYTHING), the looming threat of a Social Security shutdown, the disappearing of innocent people without due process, the war on DEI, & one of the most effective antidotes to fascism: mockery 🤡

I try not to post his face or voice but this video by @thedailyshow.com is pretty good

@jillianratliff.bsky.social took @recovering-teacher.bsky.social ‘s place as guest host last week on the podcast—we think we’ll keep her in the rotation 😄

The companion post for our most recent episode is up! Our guest, cybersecurity expert @jillianratliff.bsky.social, joined @kegbot1.bsky.social and @recovering-teacher.bsky.social to discuss the Musk/DOGE clusterfuck, its implications, & what we can do as individuals to protect ourselves.

In our most recent episode, @kegbot1.bsky.social & @recovering-teacher.bsky.social touched on the Muk/DOGE/bаbу-tech-brо takeover of the federal govt in the broader context of the Right’s self-proclaimed “bloodless revolution.” (Link below)

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

May this queen be hailed in history books forever, & may these pieces of shit assaulting her for exercising her First Amendment right never have another day of peace. Click for their ID & contact info. Make them sorry.

The companion post for Episode 4 of our podcast is finally up! ‘The tactics being used by the Trump administration aren’t only meant to destabilize the government and create chaos: they’re meant to overwhelm and paralyze us, too, so we can’t effectively fight back. With this in mind,

From the Bomb Shelter with Katie and Keith New Podcast Drops: How Can You Sleep at Night? After a bit of the news, I'll share the ways you can prep for what is coming down the pike - food, meds, whatever - and most importantly, to start NOW.

This is a short 15 minute bonus episode on President's Day I record this podcast in a bomb shelter built into the house in 1956. It got me thinking what being in a bomb shelter represents. I also remembered "The Shelter" episode from The Twilight Zone that scared me so much as a kid.

Here are some sources since you guys apparently need help with your journalism: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h... www.usnews.com/news/health-... www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/pre... www.irishstar.com/news/us-news...

deleted data on 2 confirmed саsеs of Bird Flu transmission btw cats & humans? That is a HUGE DEAL in terms of the growing risk of Bird Flu to people. Maybe you need to follow @covid19disease.bsky.social like me? (Yes that’s right—an IRISH paper scooped you on Minnesota’s State of Emergency 🤦🏼‍♀️)

Hey @startribune.com & @mprnews.org Where are you on this?? As of now, you've published NOTHING on MN declaring a Stаtе of Emergency for Bird Flu & 2 other avian diseases. This is extremely important information to help Minnesotans stay safe. Are you also aware that on Feb. 5, the CDC posted & then

It’s a cliché to say it—and no two historical scenarios offer a perfectly compelling analogy—but what each American is doing now is what they’d be doing were they a German living in Germany and were it 1936-38 There’s no more doubt about who the appeasers or the bad guys are—they’re in the open now

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine. “Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process” Done

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

CNN: Do you think that calling Elon Musk "a dick" is effective messaging? Rep. Robert Garcia: "Well, he is a dick." I approve this message. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

I think this is our best episode yet! Dr. Alondra Rogers gives amazing advice about how to manage our mental health during this crisis. @kegbot1.bsky.social & I follow up the interview with a sparkling conversation about the eugenics being advocated by the 🍊 administration as a
