The Shocking Far-Right Agenda Behind the Facial Recognition Tech Used by ICE and the FBI

Thousands of newly obtained documents show that Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration.

Yes & thank you.

#Tesla stock extended losses Mon, dropping below a price at which #Trump Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick predicted they’d never fall to again.

The shares plunged as much as 9.2% to $217.41 as of 9:41AM in NY, amid a broader selloff in global equity markets. Lutnick totally unethically said during a FauxNews interview on March 19—when Tesla closed at $235.86—that viewers should buy the stock, saying “it’ll never be this cheap again.”

"The billionaire #Ackman, a staunch Trump supporter, put the market's fears about the fate of the global economy in the starkest terms possible.

What they're saying: "The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system. Alternatively, we are 👉heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down👈," Ackman wrote in a lengthy post to X."

This Australian commentator gets it:

“The American age is coming to an end after 80 years and nine months and will be replaced by something that may be better.”

“ Perhaps Liberation Day can be seen as the world being liberated from America.”

CPD kept an eye on things. Fortunately, no issues, with them or us.

We technically weren't protesting the CBOT, but walking past it seems fitting...

Hey, no kink shaming. (But yeah, seriously?)

Like I said, a lot in common with #SocialDarwinism in this respect.

Giving little or no value to "unworthy lives" is very much in line with #Fascism, in particular of the type practiced by the #ThirdReich.

Ad extremis, some important #Longtermists would even go as far as annihilating 3 billion people to achieve the end of making humanity a "multi-planetary species:" 3)

What we are seeing is just the beginning.

Alas, for this iteration of #fascism, #Longtermism, part of the #TESCREAL group 1), it does make twisted sense: "loosers' lives are not worth keeping.
"Feeding the poor," or "vaccinating the masses" cost huge amounts of money that are then not available for tax cuts for the filthy rich and the central "colonize #Mars" goals...

Key threads for #TECREAL and #Longtermism

#HandsOff protests: did any media report how many protesters there were in the US? When we have these in France they are always obsessed by the size buy I can't seem to find an estimation for these ones..

Edit: someone send this #NewYorkTimes article which does a relatively good job of describing the diversity of problems that people protested against, but it doesn't really give an attendance estimate, only the number of people who signed up to participate which was 600 000.

I haven't been able to get an offical estimate of the crowd at #HandsOff #Sacramento today. But I'm guessing appx 40,000 people?

🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?

Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷
