Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir aren’t donating out of love for ballroom dancing 💃.

This is about access, influence, and alignment with power by Big Tech and the surveillance and war industry even as the shutdown costs billions and military families line up at food banks.

Not illegal, perhaps, but it says plenty about their opportunism and how quickly they’ll turn regime-friendly under pressure.
