    There should be some sort of halal version of popular ETFs that get rid of certain universally excepted evil companies. I just invest in QQQM, VTI, VOO, etc and forget, but I have a friend who buys stocks weighted by NASDAQ except for Palantir manually. Too much of a headache for me lol.

    Let’s give credit where credit is due - This is what the GOP wants. They have complete ownership of ICE’s terrorist activities and applaud what is being done.

    Republicans could reign this in in a couple of days if ICE didn’t have their blessing. The same is true if our corporate/billionaire media began referring to what’s happening as GOP, rather than ICE activity.

    oh awesome, Palantir, the same company profiting off the genocide in Gaza

    CEO Alex Karp has been a vocal supporter of Israel. In November 2023, he stated, “I am proud that we are supporting Israel in every way we can.”

    After October 2023, Palantir has provided Israel with multiple AI-powered data analytics tools for military and intelligence purposes.

    In January 2024, Palantir held its board meeting in Israel and entered into a “strategic partnership” with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to help Israel’s “war effort.”

    In October 2024, Norway’s largest asset manager, Storebrand, divested its Palantir shares, worth $24 million, due to concerns that Palantir’s work for Israel might implicate Storebrand in violations of international humanitarian law and human rights.

      Yeah, it’s wild how clearly we can see that Palestine is the world’s laboratory for surveillance and state violence tech and tactics.

      The Palantir tools were used to analyze the data trove that Microsoft was hosting for Israel. It contained all of the cellular data (metadata and call recording/MMS contents/data traffic) for the entirety of Palestine.

      That tool’s detection of ‘terrorists’ was used to justify a massive portion of the air strikes on Palestine. Their beta test resulted in a genocide.

      Palantir is complicit in war crimes and genocide, never forget that.

      Now the fascists are using the terrorist language to target their political opponents in the US and using the same tools of genocide.

      The overwhelming majority of Somalis who live in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area are U.S. citizens, PBS reported.

    If we don’t build these apps then someone far worse probably will. Therefore it’s better if we make the apps that allow untrained monkeys to find and execute people on US soil because at least we’ll do it right… ya know?

    Palantir 2026… probably.

    Seems like Doge might have been setup to facilitate this. They are cross referencing data from the HHS database. Big Brother.

      The actual point of DOGE was to just backdoor and/or datadump as many government databases as possible and give them to Palantir. That’s it. That was the entire point. Everything else was simply theatrics.

      My brother is a total Palintir supporter because he sees his stocks rising. I tell him he’s supporting evil but he says their CEO is a Democrat and has nothing to do with Thiel🙄. Like most Americans he’s ok with evil if it pays well.

        The CEO is insane. He apparently self-describes himself as a socialist but is the highest paid CEO on earth and fantasises about dumping cyanide-laced urine on people protesting state-backed brutality

        If you did and held for say 30-40 years you would have an amazing return on investment.

        Funny how a government can fail, but the corporations keep going

        Prior to that they were able to function just fine by using non-classified data brokers which have access to every bit of data that can be extracted from every smart phone that has a single app that’s compromised by their spyware.

        Having access to even greater surveillance data (like the data that is gathered at TITANPOINTE and other oversea cable collection locations) just lets whoever is in charge more accurately target their political opponents.

        Like Snowden said in citizenfour, the collection capabilities of the NSA create a situation which would allow ‘turnkey totalitarianism’. Well, they’ve turned the key.

    That whole “look how quirky and cool Alex Karp is” pr nonsense was BS from the start.
