Trump’s blatant lawlessness is already bringing him down. It will haunt America and the world for years to come. Some thoughts... robertreich.substack.com/p/why-bullies-always-fai...

Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote.

We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas.

Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.

The Death of Peter Thiel’s "Kept" Romantic Partner Is Being Investigated as a Suicide Miami police plan to interview Thiel as part of probe into the sudden death of Jeff Thomas, a model and social media influencer, sources said.

There was an investigation of Peter Thiel after his lover died. Note he was married during this time to another man.

Palantir employee Alex Karp seems to be under the influence during an interview.

Behavior inspiring trust.🤮

7/7 Defense contractors should be heavily regulated tools of democratic states, not self-appointed moral vanguards.

We must reject this unhinged merger of lethal AI, mass surveillance, and tech-savior complexes.

Palantir needs to be told to stay in its lane, outside of Europe

6/7 This is exactly why European lawmakers are sounding the alarm over Palantir.

You cannot hand the sensitive data of nations to a company run by insecure technofascists who want to socially engineer the globe and weaponize everything they touch.

The risks are massive

4/7 They also dive straight into far-right culture wars.

The manifesto attacks inclusivity and pluralism.

It claims some cultures are dysfunctional while Western tech elites produce wonders.

This arrogant supremacist ideology is being hardcoded into defense tools

3/7 Palantir demands a universal draft so everyone shares the risk of war, and calls to undo the pacifism of Germany and Japan.

Even if you agree, why does a tech company have a say?

A data broker shouldn't be rewriting global security and enforcing conscription

2/7 The manifesto openly calls for an AI arms race.

Karp claims the atomic age is over and the new era of deterrence is built on AI weapons.

They argue adversaries will build them anyway so we must do it first.

A tech firm is openly lobbying for an algorithmic cold war

1/7 Palantir’s manifesto is a terrifying glimpse into tech-authoritarianism.

They aren't just selling software, but dictating global morality.

Who do they think they are?

Who elected Alex Karp and Peter Thiel to run the world?

Europe should stay away from Palantir

Farage missing from #PMQs, just like he was missing from the security vetting statement yesterday.

Anywhere that’s not Clacton or Parliament!

Oh.

Boris Johnson says meeting with ex-KGB agent Alexander Lebedev was social event Boris Johnson tells MPs officials did not need to be present at Alexander Lebedev event.

UK foreign secretary getting leathered with the KGB.

What could go wrong eh?

Boris Johnson on his way back from a party

Kemi Badenoch can't believe Keir Starmer would allow anyone with links to the Kremlin anywhere near government

Height of hupicrisy from Badenoch. Her Party took millions from Russia in donations, many jollies with Russians for money, Boris Johnson was involved in at least 2 nationsl security incidents.
Keir Starmrr will not be deterred by opposition, press, pressure nor bots. PM of steel.

With each of Badenoch’s idiotic performances, Keir Starmer grows stronger and stronger.
SKS: “Whatever noise they make, nothing is going to distract me from delivering for our country.” #UKPolitics

#pmqs BRILLIANT from Starmer , taking no more crap from Badenoch and her cronies.. and , thanks to a full range of questions from Labour MPs and others , able to demonstrate with facts and figures how much Labour is already doing to improve all our lives .. which is the REAL job !

This video posted by Iran’s consulate in Hyderabad, which mocks Trump for his latest ceasefire extension, isn’t as sophisticated as the LEGO videos. But it still must drive Trump crazy! 🤣🤣

Meta is logging its workers’ every keystroke to train the AI that will replace them.

Extract what workers know. Model it. Cut the workers.
This is happening because governments are letting it happen. On this. On Palantir. On facial recognition.

Inaction is still a choice. And someone is making it.

The right wing media are on a poisonous vendetta to avenge the resignation of Boris Johnson, during my life every labour Goverment has had to endure this awful attitude. They concentrate all their efforts to discredit Labour with no effort to acknowledge the good decisions. Unfortunately it works

. . . and let's remind ourselves: two of those billionaires are Rupert Murdoch (Times, Sun, etc) and Lord Rothermere (Faily Fail).

Whoever is in that office for Labour will face the same attacks day-in-day-out until the government is brought down.

It's not about Starmer, it's about Labour and a government that is working for ordinary people, not the billionaires and big business.

2/2

If anyone actually thinks the media are going after Keir Starmer and get him to resign, I have a message for you: they are not doing that.

They are going after a Labour Prime Minister and trying to get them to resign.

Excellent work PG!
It somehow reminds me of this...

Revealed: How Big Oil is pushing Labour to drill the North Sea Oil and gas lobbyists have met ministers 96 times since July 2024 as industry pushes to overturn Labour's North Sea drilling ban and scrap energy windfall tax.

The lobbying pressure seems to be working. Ed Miliband has refused to budge on new drilling but Rachel Reeves says she'd be "very happy" to back new exploration.

John Swinney now calls sector "overtaxed."
