The 1% are robbing us of a livable future. We’re building power and using direct action to put people and planet over profit.

We confronted the 1% in one of the Hampton's most expensive restaurants. They kicked us in the neck. These are the people responsible for installing this fascist regime. The dystopian world Trump is making is a paradise for them, and them alone. They can't get away with it.
as if one AIPAC weren't enough
Through vehicles like Valar Ventures and companies like Palantir, Thiel aims to make his dystopian business plans a reality. It's up to us to stop him, with a mass movement that takes aim at Palantir's overinflated valuation and Thiel's public reputation.
A long-standing backer of authoritarian ideas, it’s no surprise Theil was an early donor to the political careers of Trump and JD Vance. Now, between Palantir's massive government contracts and Trump's assaults on democracy, he's getting a handsome return on his investment.
Here’s another thing to know about Theil: decades ago, he stated that he "no longer believes that freedom and democracy are compatible." More recently, he demurred and deflected when asked in a New York Times interview whether he wished to see the human race "endure."
In NYC we’re rallying at Valar Ventures – one of Peter Thiel's venture capital firms, into which collaborator JEFFERY EPSTEIN (yes that one) invested $40 million. That investment is now worth nearly $170 million, and is the largest asset still held by Epstein's estate.
What’s Palantir? It’s the company that’s: ٠Enabling ICE to locate and kidnap immigrants. ٠Helping the Israeli military automate its "Kill Chain" in Gaza. ٠Building a mega-database for Trump containing your private personal information.
Today we are taking action from COAST TO COAST against Peter Thiel and financial colonialism. Peter Theil is the chairman of the techno fascist company Palantir. #PURGEPALANTIR
Kathy Hochul (who by the way is up for reelection next year) should know, we’re in a climate fucking emergency. No more pipelines. No more fossil fuel projects in NY. And definitely no bargaining with Trump. Send a comment to the NYDEC by midnight here: stopwilliamsnesepipeline.org
This project also involves a major on land pipeline extension in NJ and a new compressor station right near homes and a Buddhist Temple. Compressor stations can cause major health effects from their regular release of gas right into the air to regulate pressure.
If Trump has his way this underwater pipeline would be drilled off the coast of Brooklyn right along our city’s beaches. Why? So Trump’s pals in the fossil fuel industry can pipe more and more gas into New York.
ICYMI: Kathy Hochul made a bargain with Trump to fast track a fracked gas pipeline extension that would run along the coast of NYC. Last we checked Hochul works for New Yorkers, not Donald Trump. You have till midnight to let her know how you feel: stopwilliamsnesepipeline.org
“Can we please have affordable food and a livable climate?” GOP: “Best I can do is a nuclear reactor on the moon.”
Lee Zeldin's E.P.A. is about to issue a death sentence for countless Americans in the years to come. No, we don't give a fuck what kind of straw you use. What matters right now in the fight for the future of this planet is beating Trump's fascism.
A message from a New Yorker who was arrested while blockading ICE's headquarters.
Cuomo's video editor [sweating onto the keyboard]: ugh, he looks like a depressed pervert in all of these takes...maybe if I just...no, fuck. Umm... Zohran's video editor:
"As an Israeli New Yorker, here's what I have to say about Zohran Mamdani's anti-Semitism."
You're comfortable with life-altering legal decisions being made by AI tech companies? You use ChatGPT to draft messages to girls on Hinge? You think art is only about the product, and process is a waste of time? You are a robot.
We're going back for another day of disruption ✊ As Palantir designs technology to bring Trump's fascist vision to life, we NEED to shame them and hold them accountable. Join us on Monday!
When it comes to AI, cruelty is a feature, not a bug. Environmental racism, fascism, climate collapse, bigotry, genocide. These are all being multiplied because a handful of tech bros want to make everyone as detached from creativity, critical thinking, and empathy as they are.
Reminder that to power Grok, which yesterday started praising Hitler, Elon is blasting toxic gas into a Black neighborhood, poisoning residents and giving kids high asthma rates.
When the Trump administration and their cronies in Congress voted on this so called big beautiful bill, this is the kind of devastation they are co-signing. Every Trump billionaire endorses this by default. We are angry and we will fight back to protect our communities.
Each year more and more communities across the world are destroyed by climate disasters. Now in Kerr County, TX, families are reeling after a flash flood caused a river to rise 20+ feet, destroying homes and a summer camp. At least 14 children are dead and dozens remain missing.
The budget is set to open up federal land for oil and gas extraction, create new funding for coal, end investment in environmental justice communities, and end tax incentive for green energy. We’re fucking angry.
The same billionaires who bankrolled Trump back into office are set to get even richer from Trump’s budget while the rest of us are stripped of healthcare, critical services, and critical climate and environmental justice protections.
Every year we’re seeing more and more frequent and deadly severe weather events. Let’s be clear. This is a result of the climate crisis. And who’s fueling this? Billionaires.
Two days after Trump’s big bullshit bill passed — which is set to dismantle every federal climate protection — at least 36 people are dead, dozens are missing, including many children from a catastrophic flash flood in Kerr County, Texas. We’re in a climate emergency.
As an Israeli New Yorker, here's how I feel about Zohran Mamdani's anti-Semitism.
Establishment Democrats are using their energy not to protect our migrant neighbors, not to stop climate change, not to oppose war crimes, not to save our healthcare, but to utter outright lies on the news about Zohran Mamdani, who just beat MAGA billionaires in NYC. Got it.
This is why we shut down Palantir from coast to coast today. We're just getting started. Join us. Planetoverprofit.org
Palantir is working on the creation of a massive centralized government database merging data from various agencies, including sensitive financial and identity records. Make no mistake, this will be used to police immigrants and target political dissidents.
Company founder Peter Thiel dreams of the US being run by a CEO King. Palantir has hundreds of millions of dollars in government contracts, including an $800 million contract with the Pentagon.
Palantir has provided their AI technology to Israel to collect data for the targeted murder of Palestinians. CEO Alex Karp has said “Palantir is here to help institutions we partner with be the best in the world, and when necessary, to scare enemies and on occasion kill them.”
Palantir is a mass surveillance company and a major government contractor collaborating with ICE on surveillance technology to fuel mass deportations. Their so-called “ImmigrationOS” is an AI tool to streamline the tracking and kidnapping of community members across the US.
Today, on both sides of the country, people of conscience blocked the doors to Palantir’s office. In NYC, 6 of us were arrested. In the Bay Area, over 200 people showed up to shut down Palantir’s Palo Alto office. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. Who is Palantir? A 🧵
BREAKING: Mere hours after our NYC chapter blockaded doors to Palantir's offices in Manhattan, our Bay Area team partnered with local groups and started a picket of hundreds of people at Palantir's Palo Alto office. We've now taken the streets.
Peter Thiel stole the names of his companies (Palantir, Mithril) from Lord of the Rings as though Tolkien wouldn't have absolutely DESPISED everything about Thiel. If Tolkien were alive today he'd probably fictionalize Thiel as a bumbling troll called ShídtFært or something.
Six of us have been arrested by NYPD after blockading the entrances to Palantir in Manhattan. Palantir employees are building Trump and Peter Thiel’s dystopian vision for mass surveillance, and are powering ICE as they abduct New Yorkers off the streets.
Breaking: Activists are blocking the doors of Palantir’s NYC Office. Palantir is the mass surveillance company building the technology ICE is using to abduct our neighbors here in NYC. NEW YORKERS MUST REJECT PALANTIR AT EVERY TURN.
Zohran beating Cuomo and Trump billionaires is what happens when tens of thousands of people who want meaningful change get off their computers & phones, physically show up, and build a movement to motherfucking win. Congratulations to all of our friends who made this happen.
BREAKING: activists disrupt business at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to demand they evict Crye Precision and Easy Aerial, two military manufacturers hiding their HQs in Brooklyn. These companies produce materials for the IDF and ICE and are complicit in genocide and mass disappearing. Evict them now!
BREAKING: An employee of Crye Precision approached and VIOLENTLY ATTACKED a peaceful protester yesterday. Crye supplies Israel and ICE with tactical gear to terrorize humans. Their employees are exactly what you think: violent and unhinged. The Brooklyn Navy Yard must evict Crye.
Andrew Cuomo could never fathom putting his body on the line for New Yorkers like this.
HAPPENING NOW: Protestors jump barricade in NYC at ICE HQ to check for abducted New Yorkers
Greta is a true climate justice activist. We must demand the release of her and every other person aboard the Gaza Freedom Flotilla.
do something.
Dude’s not even in office and he’s already in trouble for corruption
Why does Cuomo take Trump money? Maybe because he's gearing up to sacrifice NYers' lives and livelihoods so he can stroke his ego. Just like Trump.
More reasons why climate activists are protesting Elon Musk and Tesla! 🎤 #TeslaTakedown is fighting Musk’s oligarchal takeover of the federal government. But we’re also here to call out all the ways Musk is greenwashing while exploiting people and planet.
At UCLA, police attacked students for screening The Encampments — a film about police violence against students protesting genocide in Gaza. On the anniversary of that violence. This is fascism. And we need to stand with all the students fighting against it on their campuses.
Four peaceful protesters were arrested. Venue security aggressively shoved and kneed activists. We won’t be deterred. Continuing to invest money in the fossil fuels industry as we face climate collapse isn’t just bad economics, it’s killing millions of people every year.
Wells Fargo had pledged to achieve net zero emissions in its lending and underwriting by 2050. In February, in a cowardly move caving to Trump’s climate denialist agenda, Wells Fargo scrapped those goals becoming the first bank to entirely walk away from its climate targets.
Yesterday. we blocked the doors to Wells Fargo’s headquarters as shareholders arrived for their annual meeting. Why? Since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015, Wells Fargo has provided close to $300 BILLION to the fossil fuel industry.
4 New Yorkers were arrested after POP blockaded the entrance to Wells Fargo's most important meeting of the year at their office in Manhattan. Cozying up to Trump, WF has abandoned its climate commitments and is moving ahead with poisoning Indigenous lands. We won't stand for it.
The next #TeslaTakedown Global Day of Action is May 3rd! 🌎 In NYC, we’re taking on Elon Musk AND the other MAGA oligarchs who are sacrificing people and planet for profit ✊ JOIN US! actionnetwork.org/events/march... @teslatakedown.com
YES! Free them all
Always a blast collaborating on direct action. Especially against well-known sex pest and corporate stooge, Andrew Cuomo.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the climate crisis is HERE. 11,500 acres of the Pine Barrens forest in NJ have burned since Tuesday. Climate change is increasing the scale and frequency of (un)natural disasters.
On Earth Day, NYPD closed an entire block because we said we would picket outside of Tesla board member James Murdoch’s house. Murdoch has the power to kick Musk out of Tesla. If he cares about his company, let alone the world, he’ll do just that. #TeslaTakedown
Bill Ackman and other billionaires are funding climate change and fascism. Today, we blockaded their front door. #FreeMahmoud #EatTheRich #EarthDay
BREAKING: New Yorkers arrested blockading doors to One57, the skyscraper on 'Billionaires' Row' where Trump-and-Cuomo megadonor Bill Ackman lives. Ackman is an architect of the regime's retaliation against Palestine organizers & put this planet-torching autocrat in office.
BREAKING: MASSIVE win in NYC. Our movement's direct action and pressure campaign targeting Comptroller Brad Lander has WORKED. NYC Pension funds, totaling $285 BILLION, will now be pushed to DROP money managers like BlackRock that do not meet aggressive climate criteria.
DIRECT. ACTION. WORKS.

People keep asking why we’re protesting Tesla. Hear one of our organizers explain it 🎤 Elon Musk is a greedy billionaire who doesn’t care whose life he endangers or what environment he poisons, as long as he can gain profit and power. #TeslaTakedown
The #TeslaTakedown movement calls on us to divest from Tesla while its CEO Elon Musk slashes social services. New York State’s pension fund owns ~3.5 million shares of Tesla stock. Sign this petition to call on Comptroller Tom DiNapoli to divest New York State’s pension fund from Tesla!
NYC Comptroller Brad Lander has been successfully humiliated at yet another mayoral forum. Poor guy. We'll stop hounding Brad when he stops investing $60 billion of NYCers money in the world's top polluting firm, BlackRock.
BREAKING: 1000s of New Yorkers shut down the Tesla Showroom to protest Elon Musk’s oligarchical takeover of the US government. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @micahlasher.bsky.social @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social joined the protest to call for accountability on Musk’s unchecked power. #TeslaTakedown

Trump is trying to pressure NY Gov. Hochul to revive the fracked gas Constitution Pipeline. This project was rejected in 2020 for a reason: it will make billionaires richer while poisoning our waterways and climate. The BARE MINIMUM Hochul and other Democrats must do is reject this pipeline.
Clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and the safety to spread roots in our communities: these are human rights. Oil and gas CEOs at #CERAWeek trample on these human rights everyday to make a buck. Frontline and fenceline communities won’t stand for it.
In 2023, we shut down the Federal Reserve to protest fossil fuel financing. That day, we asked some of our friends why they were risking arrest. These are the answers they gave:
BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.
While Energy Secretary Wright minimizes the climate crisis at CERAWeek, we are outside demanding justice. We’re building power through direct action because the 1% won’t put people and planet over profit unless we force them to.
OUR DEMANDS: • End expansion of ALL fossil fuel projects (oil, gas, coal) • End expansion of petrochemicals & plastics (harmful fossil fuel byproducts) • Stop using public dollars to fund these destructive industries • Full transparency on energy projects, risks & financing
Who’s inside CERAWeek? CEOs from companies being sued in California for decades of climate deception. Plus six CEOs who attended a Mar-A-Lago dinner where Trump promised to gut environmental protections for $1 billion in campaign cash. The 1% are robbing us of a livable future.
For too long, fossil fuel companies have treated Gulf South communities – and communities of color and low-income communities worldwide – like sacrifice zones. They poison our air and water, increasing risks of asthma and cancer while fueling hurricanes, fires, and floods.
The fossil fuel industry has known for 60+ years their products cause climate change with devastating consequences. Yet they’ve expanded operations while engaging in deception that has delayed necessary climate action. No màs.
