Palantir is the surveillance giant embedded in the FBI, ICE, and the Pentagon. Is it an "Operating System" for the government—or a threat to democracy? In this episode of The Nerd Reich, Gil Durán speaks with Jacinta Gonzalez and João Paulo Connolly about the "Purge Palantir" campaign. They reveal how Palantir’s software is used for ICE raids, worker surveillance, and the creation of a centralized federal database.
