A couple and their 5 and 7 year old kids⦠Shot and killed in front of their 2 other kids by the IDF This would be on every front page and condemned by politicians far and wide if the victims has been Israelis And yet when theyāre Palestinians⦠Utterly utterly shameful.

Technology is politics. You can't embed Palantir into the army, the police and the health service without embedding its poisonous politics. So there's no place for Palantir in our NHS.

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts. Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir. This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

The looming shutdown of the Department of Education is about control, not reform. As
@teacherscollege.bsky.social
faculty warn, dismantling education stifles critical thinking and undermines democracy. When politics dictate learning, society pays the price.
