13 workers left Palantir and issued this statement. "Palantir is increasingly complicit, normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs. We must resist this trend."

“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups… “Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”

Pneumonia, blindness, hearing loss and brain inflammation are just some of the impacts measles can do and these are heartbreaking accounts shared here. Measles is extremely infectious but also preventable by the full course of the MMR vaccine #MMR #Measles

None of this is normal

This is true. 🧪

This is part of a bigger story that hasn't had much coverage about the FCDO being cut to ribbons. Development funding has been slashed but foreign office staff are also being reduced by 20-30%.

Intermittent fasting no better than typical weight loss diets, study finds

So, do I have this right? The official Dem response to masked federal agents killing Americans in the streets and abducting people, including children, to put in concentration camps is: “We need ICE to be more like the rest of the violent, often unaccountable militarized police around the country.”

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Larry Ellison is a hard core Zionist who wants to destroy civil liberties and human rights. He is building a surveillance state and funds Israel's genocide. He should be under investigation by the ICC.

Lobby group Labour Friends of Israel has been referred to the Electoral Commission over concerns about its opaque funding. Andrew Feinstein, who filed the complaint, says he's concerned the pro-Israel group “may have breached electoral law”. www.declassifieduk.org/labour-frien...

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

They are trolling Jim Ratcliffe.

Ahhh look who it is: Lord Walney is speaking with Peter Mandelson about his new report on protecting against “extreme activity that goes beyond legitimate protest” “I want my report to be a wake up call to the political establishment, particularly those of us on the centre and left of politics.”

Yes, what if we moved the goalposts again so that this abysmal piece of shit, this walking affront to the democratic process, could just jail anyone he wants rid of? Much to think about

La criminalisation des solidarités antiracistes franchit un nouveau palier : la Grèce lance un mandat d'arrêt européen contre Tommy Olsen, le fondateur du collectif Aegean Boat Report, qui défend les droits des personnes migrantes et documente les crimes des garde-côtes grecs et de Frontex.

I have written twice now to Labour’s General Secretary to investigate this story because if true it is immensely damaging to our party.

This is the funniest headline I seen in a long time. And bravo to whoever underlined the desperation with the juxtaposed link.

Elon Musk is now desperately trying to paint the narrative that he's been exposing Epstein creeps like Steve Bannon. Sure buddy you were deep undercover attending the exact same meetings and begging to go to pedophile island so you could one day expose everyone by saying nothing until it was leaked

And we now know that Epstein and Bannon were involved with Farage. It sounds like a massive treasonous fraud was perpetrated on the British people. @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/11/19/d...

Well put. This is a solution in search of a nonexistent problem, all to make it far harder for millions to vote. That's vote suppression, folks.

Billionaires are not your friends. They never will be. Never ever. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

The Murdoch press doing a puff piece on Mandelson this weekend is a stark reminder of how our far right press constantly rehabilitates the rich and powerful no matter how immoral, corrupt or criminal.

The system we have now quite literally embeds the income and wealth inequalities HE is supposed to alleviate. It is outrageous and incredible that a progressive govt could describe it in any way as “fair.” Too many senior politicians today think we have Plan 1 loans. They just don’t understand it.

A foretaste of Reform in government: huge savings will be announced for projects that were never going to happen. As people get poorer and lose what remains of the state safety net, they’ll be told it’s all in their imagination. The Party has spoken. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump. This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

He's disabled. They're going to murder him because he's disabled.

JUST IN: In a new court filing, attorneys for Marimar Martinez call Chicago's U.S. attorney's office "active enablers of an out-of-control client." They cite reports from @chicago.suntimes.com and @npr.org in which DHS refuses to back down on claims that Martinez is a "domestic terrorist."

“Stone and his cohorts—including Alex Jones, Mike Flynn, Sidney Powell, and Patrick Byrne—deployed a Russian propaganda technique called the “firehose of falsehood.” As soon as one claim is debunked, another replaces it, creating a 24/7 tsunami of information warfare” Jenny Cohn

This Russian visas spanned nearly 20 years.

Sadly, this actually sounds totally possible.

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop. Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.

Someone explain to me why the men’s names are redacted?

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Tom Homan: “You’re not going to stop ICE. You’re not going to stop border patrol” Ilhan Omar: “Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it”

Organizers say they're "mobilizing thousands from over 100 countries in a coordinated, nonviolent response to genocide, siege, mass starvation, and the destruction of civilian life in Gaza."
