Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

Letter: A harsher view of economic ‘resilience’ From Natalie Bennett, Green Peer, House of Lords, London SW1, UK Letter: A harsher view of economic ‘resilience’ on x (opens in a new window) Letter: A harsher view of economic ‘resilience’ on facebook (opens in a new window) Letter: A harsher view of economic ‘resilience’ on linkedin (opens in a new window) Share Save Pro Features Configuration current progress 38% Published20 HOURS AGO 9 Print this page Martin Wolf says “the mix of chaotic politics and a resilient economy can’t last” (Opinion, April 15). No one could question the former label, but what about the latter? Can you really call a global economy resilient in which 363mn people are at risk of acute hunger, according to the World Food Programme, while 826mn people live on less than $3 a day, according to the World Bank, where economic activities have driven us over seven of the nine planetary boundaries as identified by the Stockholm Resilience Centre? Or in the UK, where housing is unaffordable in most of the country, young graduates are loaded with debt with few job prospects and 1.9mn reported in work-related ill health, while our intelligence agencies report lack of food security is an acute threat? We need economic systems that meet people’s needs, that leave no one behind, that don’t trash our planet and ensure we are providing a liveable future for coming generations. That’s what resilience looks like. And it is not just Donald Trump’s fault that we are nowhere near that. Natalie Bennett Green Peer, House of Lords, London SW1, UK

My letter in today's Financial Times. What does a truly resilient economy look like?
Surely it has to be preserving - or enhancing - Earth's systems on which we are entirely dependent, and ensuring a secure life for people?

Trump’s Not Paying Attention to His Own War But then again, do we want him to be?

Palantir is deeply embedded in ICE atrocities in the US.

And *Wes Streeting* (pictured left) is giving this dodgy company all our NHS data.

Streeting is not just a danger to trans children, he is a real danger to everyone. His dishonest handler Starmer (pictured right) needs to go also.

Wes Streeting must cancel Palantir’s FDP contract now Palantir is not the right partner for the NHS, says Green Party leader Zack Polanski

I've written in Health Service Journal today: Not another protracted Labour government U-turn.

Wes Streeting must act now and cancel the Trump/Mandelson Palantir contract.

NHS workers are voting with their feet and refusing to take part in this national disgrace.

Labour and Lib Dem MPs demand ‘shameful’ Palantir NHS contract be scrapped The spytech company and founder Peter Thiel should ‘have their hands ripped off our NHS’, say MPs during impassioned Westminster debate MPs have queued up to demand the government scraps its £330m NHS contract with the spytech company Palantir, calling it “dreadful” and “shameful” in a debate on Thursday, after which the government said it was “no fan” of the US company’s politics. Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs led the calls for Palantir, which also works for Donald Trump’s ICE immigration crackdown and the Israeli military, to be removed as a supplier to the NHS federated data platform (FDP), with one Labour backbencher, Samantha Niblett, questioning whether it could be “trusted as a custodian of the intimate health records of tens of millions of British citizens”.

Palantir is a menace to society. Its "Manifesto" reads like a very bad Hollywood science fiction dystopia movie.

Palantir Posts Very Long X Post Denouncing ‘Vacant and Hollow Pluralism’ Best case scenario: maybe Palantir is super psyched about abundant and solid pluralism.

Palantir should not be allowed to have any government contracts at any level because it is fundamentally opposed to the basic concepts of liberal democracy.

Power without accountability: The Palantir manifesto The problems with our tech philosopher kings

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

palantir should be viewed as the enemy of modern society

UK:
Good grief
First the NHS
Then MoD
Now FCA

These contracts with Palantir need to end. It’s otherwise effectively inviting surveillance & spying. UK companies should have been prioritised for contracts as national security, patient privacy & safety, & financial data should not be put as risk.

They are unfortunately, I know the MOD deal was signed back in 2023 by the Tories as well. I've not heard anything about those yet, but hopefully if they're looking into the NHS contract they will those as well. We totally need to remove Palantir.

#PeterThiel is a danger to society, his top level employees are also unhinged.

There's nothing good about #Palantir, this is about what kind of future we want for our future gens.

Why does Palantir have a £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and a £330 million seven-year contract with the NHS? Seems like something write to one's MP about.

Dear Media:

Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass.

We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

Just look at the markets tomorrow. Won't be surprised by some irregular activity before Trump makes a statement. Insider trading off of war crimes.

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

Hilarious . Now moaning renewables are too efficient 🤣🤣🤣🫣
