Wait what? Michael Flynn’s brother, Charles Flynn, is a Senior Advisor at Peter Thiel’s Palantir?? h/t @nadja72638243.bsky.social on X… 1/

England truly is the beating heart of colonial criminality. first they steal your country, its artifacts, and your heritage. and then, when it's to the benefit of their colonies, or their colonial allies, they deny that you ever existed.

ICE shot Marimar Martinez 5 times They shot & killed Silverio Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good and Alex Pretti They kidnapped Liam Ramos & other innocent children They’ve detained over 4,000 people illegally The shutdown is well deserved, but ICE should not be paid They should be abolished

“The conversation about Britishness should be for many voices, but we do have a duty as politicians to help define it, because it will be a contested line in our politics, going forward. More crudely in elections, but more broadly for us as a country.” Loved chatting to @jeevunsandher.bsky.social.

@andrewcooper.net @stewdcat.bsky.social @jorisley.bsky.social Please can this be investigated ASAP?

BREAKING⚡️The High Court has just ruled that the government's draconian ban of Palestine Action was unlawful. This is a massive blow to the Home Office’s authoritarian approach. They need to stop criminalising people protesting a genocide and start ending the UK's complicity

💬"There’s almost no one from the same background as me, and it feels as though all my peers have parents who are doctors." Careers in the medical profession out of reach for most working-class students. Working-class representation must be improved.

These are the two grounds on which Palestine Action won

This means that even if Palestine Action ad not won on Human Rights Act/ECHR grounds, Palestine Action would have won on another ground. No doubt this will be missed by a lot of media reporting of this judgment, but even if HRA repealed etc, Palestine Action would have *still won*.

Wow! Palestine Action win judicial review - Guardian report. This is a *big* legal win. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

And just like that, Gilead was no longer dystopian fiction. “Just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… So they go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.” www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...

What a vile, vile man

As an Arsenal fan, I completely agree, as does 99% of our fanbase, especially the bit about offering him a new contract. All very sad and disappointing. If convicted I anticipate a judge could ask for an enquiry into the club’s behaviour.

Most of the media, most days: Morning: "Capitalism must go further! further! further!" Afternoon: "Oh my God, how did that happen?"

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

The BBC has managed to get into Tehran. All journalists are banned in Iran.

This is why primarying people matters. Suddenly everybody involved in this race is in a firm spine contest.

Once again, I am forced to highlight the OUTRAGEOUS INJUSTICE that so far NOT A SINGLE UNIVERSITY has invited me to give a speech about how amazing cats are. This is FREE SPEECH CRISIS. I am being SILENCED. I expect a flood of invitations to be arrving imminently.

This is very good. "In ideology (if not in practice) our society is a meritocracy and to feel comfortable at the top, the wealthy need to believe they’ve earned their position through creativity and brilliance."

I oversee the process of tending out contracts as part of my job. If I appointed a £5k contact with no tender process, I would lose my job. It is unclear to me how a £240m contract with no tender can even be viewed as anything other than naked corruption and a threat to national security.

Palantir was exposed by the exemplary @carolecadwalla.bsky.social during the calamitous Brexit referendum. Since then its founder Peter Thiel has been recognised as a far right sympathiser and Trump roadie who is antithetical to everything Labour claims to stand for.

Palantir were helping ICE locate ethnic minorities. They should be nowhere near sensitive data.

Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?

In a world drowning in grief and conflict, we crave what keeps us alive: joy—our daily bread; hope—our living water; kindness—the roof over our souls.

“There is no doubt that the regime is working overtime to hide the full scope of the terror campaign spreading across our country. The Prospect launched this tracker to do our part to stop them from getting away with it.”

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

There are no valid reasons

Ghislaine Maxwell has offered to exonerate Donald Trump in the Epstein case in exchange for clemency. Journalist @carolecadwalla.bsky.social notes this “naked transactionalism” mirrors Jeffrey Epstein’s own business model of running a “global trade in favors” among the rich and powerful.
