  1. «Last year, Cicero Action’s lobbying came under scrutiny in New Mexico from some state lawmakers who flagged its lack of transparency in swaying homelessness policy. The lawmakers proposed legislation that would enhance disclosure of the bills on which groups lobbied; the measure was vetoed in 2025 by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, who said it would be “an onerous requirement” on lobbyists and their firms.»

  6. Feed: All Latest | A Dark-Money Campaign Is Paying Influencers to Frame Chinese AI as a Threat by Taylor Lorenz

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Build American AI—a dark‑money outfit tied to the $100 million “Leading the Future” super PAC backed by tech executives from OpenAI, Palantir, Andreessen Horowitz and others—is funding a coordinated influencer campaign that first showcased lifestyle creators praising American AI and now pushes “China is a threat” messaging, paying influencers $5,000‑plus per post to frame Chinese advancement in artificial intelligence as a national‑security risk and an economic danger to U.S. jobs and personal data; the effort, run through the agency SM4, targets both left‑ and right‑leaning creators, has been denied any direct support by OpenAI or Palantir, and reflects a broader push by AI‑industry groups to steer public opinion and policy ahead of the 2026 midterms by leveraging undisclosed paid content on TikTok, Instagram and X.

  7. The Nerd Reich | Palantir for Governor? by Gil Duran

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The article examines why tech billionaire Joe Lonsdale—known for extremist statements and support of former President Trump—has become the top donor to San José Mayor Matt Mahan’s bid for California governor. Lonsdale contributed the maximum $78,400, outspending even right‑wing candidates, while Mahan, a newcomer with only a mayoral résumé, has attracted a cascade of Silicon‑Valley money from figures such as Sergey Brin, Y Combinator’s Garry Tan, Michael Seibel, Marc Merrill, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund partner Brian Singerman, and executives from Anduril. The piece argues that Mahan, though running as a Democrat, serves the interests of right‑leaning tech oligarchs, advocating “back‑to‑basics” policies that threaten the poor and oppose progressive initiatives like a billionaire wealth tax. By funding a Democratic candidate with conservative policy leanings, these billionaires aim to capture the governor’s office despite California’s long‑standing Republican drought, highlighting a broader strategy of tech money reshaping state politics.

  8. 🧵 3/3

    houstonchronicle.com/business/

    Given the leading role played by Joe Lonsdale in the foundation of the University of Austin, that institution's rapid transformation into a neo-McCarthyite indoctrination camp was sadly predictable.

    #UniversityOfAustin #JoeLonsdale

  9. >> Was UATX a hard-right project from the start? Based on my reporting, I don’t think it was. I was struck by the sincerity of the commitment to free speech and open inquiry from so many of the people with whom I spoke. A few were Trump supporters, but many more were best identified as anti-woke moderates or liberals. The university’s saga has a strong sense of historical contingency — that it could have gone quite differently had some high-leverage moments gone otherwise. <<

    I disagree.

    Although some of the names associated with the project at its beginnings might have had a sincere commitment to free inquiry, the presence of the billionaire technofascist Lonsdale as a founder and funder of this venture meant that it was always going to be nothing more than a right wing training camp.

  10. So there truly is no "merit" basis to Silicon Valley VC culture just smoldering racism that these billionaires can hardly keep to themselves.

    It truly doesn't matter if people are communists or even capitalist to the Palantir founders, they are gleeful to be the digital boot on your neck.

    So after these direct interactions with Lonsdale I'm deeply unsurprised by his latest statements and the companies overall role in Zionist genocide in Gaza.

  11. After I published the above blog post about Joe's racist screed I started getting phone calls from CNBC, Tech Crunch and Forbes.

    The latter two interviewed us and wrote stories. The first one actually had the story get killed by an editor with the stated reason given to me by the reporter being that "management doesn't allow negative press for Joe"

  12. Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale the day after the attacks on Venezuela was seen bragging that Palantir was founded to kill ALL communists.

    Now I hope people notice how this company has become part of the ICE and general law enforcement toolset.

    And remember, according to Joe the company was founding to kill all "commies"

  13. #Palantir's co-founder,#JoeLonsdale, drops the mask: #Palantir was founded to exterminate *communists*. It's almost unbelievable that they confess to these things. DON'T forget:#Palantir has managed to penetrate #Italy's healthcare system, through #PoliclinicoGemelli,we revealed

  14. i guess "god's wrath will throw fire upon the sodomites" is what passes for a #libertarian take in 2025, because this is one of the main guys trying to build the #NetworkState.

    (he's the CEO of #Praxis, "the world's first digital nation" that's funded by a lot of the crypto bros including Peter Thiel, #Balaji, Joe Lonsdale, the #Winklevoss twins, #Paradigm (big crypto fund), a #Worldcoin guy, and a bunch of others). cc: @gilduran.com @gilduran

  15. >>...apparently, I had really triggered somebody that was sort of a powerful person in the university. And that evening, I was let go, and so was my whole team...<<

    My guess is that the "sort of powerful person in the university" is none other than Joe Lonsdale himself.

  16. I cannot believe I have to count these assholes among the people who claim this place; #ElonMusk, #JoeRogan, #LexFridman, #JoeLonsdale, #AlexJones. Go fuck yourselves.

  17. These men became the nucleus of the #tech industry’s #MAGA mafia, & in recent months, quite a few more have joined them. They don’t represent a majority in #SiliconValley, but they are a high-profile minority. Some, like #JoeLonsdale, are members of #Thiel’s extended network & long committed to the cause. Lonsdale, who was editor of The StanfordReview & interned at #PayPal, has used some of the fortune he built as a founder of #Palantir to create a conservative think tank…
