Wait til you hear that 1)Palantir has an app, which ICE use to access medical records to assist in targeting raids 2)Both the Conservatives & Reform plan an ICE style agency if elected 3)Both Conservatives & Labour have welcomed Palantir’s FDP into the NHS. Like 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬?

ICE's $100M ad campaign is using the same playbook as the Gestapo & Stasi. The goal? To make repression sound reasonable and patriotic.

Brits: you are nowhere near frightened enough of what's happening in the US right now and what UK politicians are promising with the help of Palantir and friends. From @ markmcposts on IG.

Matt Goodwin says this is "a chance for the hardworking, law-abiding, tax-paying people," such as his boss, Nigel Farage, who doesn't do his job in parliament, lied about why he avoided constituency work, admitted to breaking 17 laws last week alone, and still faces questions about tax avoidance.

Can't see this happening on Question Time...

"Up to 380 people may have drowned attempting to cross the Mediterranean last week". The West's normalisation of the mass death of black Africans (because that is predominantly who these people are) will never be less than devastating.

Just read @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social infinitely strange The World Will Swallow You and now keep having to quash the temptation to sign off emails with 'All the bees'. Maybe I should just go with it.

I realised over Christmas that I’d never gotten my second MMR jab on account of childhood moves and policy changes. I emailed my GP and I just got it this morning, free on the NHS. It’s never too late and you can’t overdo it. Please get vaccinated. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Arguably more significant than defections, internal party politics and the Beckhams… In 2024 there were around 3,600 suspected cases of measles. We need to challenge the nonsense spread by anti vaxxers and ensure children are protected. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... news.sky.com/story/uk-los...

Please please vaccinate your child against measles. This is from our @independentsage.bsky.social report from last year, led by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social & @helensalisbury.bsky.social independentsage.org/wp-content/u...

The far right are rallying again in Central Oxford this weekend, despite their recent failures to muster more than a handful of people. Do join us 11.30am Sat 24th at Carfax Tower to prove there are many, many more of us than them, and please share.

Samuel Evans Stokes, the only American jailed for India’s freedom struggle, married Himachali Agnes Stokes, renounced empire, joined Congress, went to prison, and introduced apple seeds to Shimla. One man, one orchard, one rebellion that still feeds millions.

So, there are options. Keep circulating memes to highlight their absurdity (not a bad option, but it's *their* memes). Or a second option - to join a community. And *do* something. In person if you can. Together. Because a community of good people is a powerful thing. bsky.app/profile/lore...

Filed my tax return last week. Wondering what the HMRC would have done if I'd neglected to declare £380,000 on account of the fact that "I don't do computers." #Farage

Nostalgic for the days when there was such a thing as hanging one’s head in shame.

No surprise that the highest numbers of signatories are from Newark and Wilshire where Conservative MPs defected to Reform. But we should all care about this, it's an affront to democracy which needs fixing.

An example from our services. Each winter, we run a respiratory hub add-on to our GP evening/weekend hubs. After experimenting with skillsets to match what we see from patients, we eventually settled on an all-GP clinical skillset. We have a 98% intervention rate this winter (see next post). 1/3

“Palantir is working on a tool for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address,”

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Listening to Today on BBC Radio4 and remembering why I hardly ever do these days. Emma Barnett's interview with Sadiq Khan was a disgrace - she is so unnecessarily rude and belligerent. He was calm and professional.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

very disappointing. There is a code of conduct for Royal Society fellows - it's not a value judgement to say that Musk has contravened it! see relevant bits of code and the Royal Society stated values below.

Every human life matters. But when a western life is lost we hear about their family, their life, their journey. Yesterday 14 Gazans were killed including 5 children. Can you tell me anything about any of them? english.wafa.ps/Pages/Detail...
