EXPOSE.
PRESSURE.
BOYCOTT.
SANCTION.
DIVEST.
DISMANTLE.
These steps can break the military cartel’s grip on funds, arms and equipment that it needs to continue carrying out its campaign of terror against the Myanmar people.
The Myanmar military cartel must be dismantled! ✊🏽

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

Nice visual gag from SNL UK nails why Palantir has no place in the NHS. Palantir are specialists in harm, not health. Its record is in targeting people, not caring for them. This isn't "putting ideology above patient safety” – in the NHS, it’s one and the same: www.youtube.com/shorts/0j0Z9...

🧵 What's interesting about this case is that the defendants have each admitted to their role in the assassination program in 2018 reporting by @buzzfeed.com and in a #BBC documentary aired in 2024. They think they are immune from liability/prosecution. They're wrong, no one is above the law.
