    Don’t Equifax, Experian and Transunion already have that?

    At least they have enough info about where you lived, what credit cards you had, what loans you had, what vehicles you owned, enough to be used as “verification” to prove your identity.

    If they don’t comply, the Dems are going to SLAM and BLAST them with slightly strong language, but no swearing allowed and no actions.

      Should it be? Yep, along with countless other things people have just let go.

      However if folks don’t wake the fuck up soon it really won’t matter.

      And yes, I know about the “No Kings” rallies and 3.5% and all that - just ping me when there are actual CHANGES resulting from it.

        They’re like “Wahhh we need to hit 3.5% and then the fascist dictator will totally resign!” and then Trump is like “Oooo my delicate little feefees, oh well, here comes my Gestapo!” while the 50501 protest marshalls chant “We did it! We don’t need crushing violence to make a change!” while completely ignoring that the NKD protests accomplished literally nothing.

      Palantir has more data on more people in the world likely than any other corporation, and Peter Thiel is trying to wield it to collapse global democracy, so yes

      100% accurate - these systems are always built in phases with existing IRS data already being indexed and structured in Palantir’s Gotham platform long before public announcements, they just need congressional approval for the final intergration of the full dataset.

        Is your state Open Primary? Because otherwise you can’t vote in the democratic primary, which mean that, in-turn, you can’t vote to fix the terrible candidates that the dems have been nominating.

        And even in an Open Primary state, I think you have to specifically request the democratic primary ballot, which means there will be a record of that request.

    This is an awfully “big government” move from the small government crowd.

    90s were such a fruitful time for art, really.

    Everything happening I’ve seen predicted in Star Wars EU, they are literally building the Empire the way it existed there (not this particular article, but the whole moment of history around us).

    But somehow I don’t feel too happy about owning trekkies.
