We don’t want Palantir ‘s nose in our lives

Not our phone calls, or schooling 

or the messages we send our friends

Not our travels, or our browsing,  

or the books we—like to read

We must stop Palantir

Stop them today!

We must stop Palantir

Stop them today!

 

Chinga la migra

That means Screw  ICE 

Shout with meaning 

And conviction 

No we don’t have to be very nice 

Cuz they torture, abuse children

Palantir helps, Every day! 

Chinga la migra 

Is what we say! 

Chinga la migra

Screw ICE today!

Palantir (data mining company) co-founder Peter Thiel says the “patriotic” thing to do is for tech to serve U.S. military interests. ICE has large contracts with Palantir and uses the company’s software to track undocumented immigrants.
