Palantir: NHS pilot’s “success” is questioned as second figure at major trust is linked to the tech giant

Data used to justify the expansion of controversial software in the NHS is flawed, experts say, and the pilot trust’s innovation adviser worked directly for Palantir

Labour’s willingness to sell out core UK resources to this shady company should outrage is all

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Social Transition Changes in gender expression whereby the child or young person presents to others in line with societally expected indications of gender identity different to that of their natal sex is known as 'social transition'. This can be partial or in all forms and aspects of daily life. Appearance and behaviours (interests/activities or presentations socially defined and typically associated with another gender) are usually initiated by children or young people and often supported and facilitated by adults. The ability to express individuality and autonomy to change and adapt self-expression over time can be important to a child or young person's development and wellbeing. However, the social and psychological impact that social transition may have, means that advice may be sought of clinicians within The Service. Social transition should be recognised as a significant decision and therefore, while it is not a clinical intervention, it will often be become a significant and valid subject within an individual's care. While there are different views on the benefits versus the harms of childhood social transition, it is important to acknowledge that it is not a neutral act and that information is needed about long-term outcomes to support decision making. Information and discussion about this with the MDT are important within care for a child or young person in The Service. At the point of presentation to The Service some children and young people will have already socially transitioned or be in the process of effecting a social transition, while others may be considering this. It is important that the risks and benefits of social transition are discussed with the child or young person and family, referencing best available evidence. Decisions will be individual, and the agency to make the decision rests with the young person, along with their family. Individual autonomy to change or cease social transition is an important part of the discussion. This service …

The NHS is LYING about trans children and social transition.

There is no evidence WHATSOEVER that social transition is in any respect harmful.

There is however plenty of evidence that preventing social transition (otherwise known as conversion therapy) causes long-term psychological damage.

The Israeli government has displaced a total of 6 million people from their homes. (3 million Iran, 2 million Gaza, 1 million Lebanon).

6 million people.

The equivalent of the entire population of Maryland displaced from their homes.

By one government.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, dissenting from the denial of certiorari. Petitioner Priscilla Villarreal is a reporter who was arrested for doing something journalists do every day: posing questions to a public official. Specifically, Villarreal twice texted with a police officer to corroborate information Villarreal already knew about events that had occurred within her community. That officer voluntarily provided the information Villarreal sought, and Villarreal published those facts, consistent with her role as a journalist. Six months later, Villarreal was arrested for asking those questions. Making matters worse, Villarreal alleges that the arrest followed a months-long effort by a police department and district attorney’s office to retaliate against her because they disliked much of her reporting on their activities. Of course, that reporting was often critical of them. It should be obvious that this arrest violated the First Amendment. Yet the Fifth Circuit held that the officials were entitled to qualified immunity, and now Villarreal is left without a remedy. The Court today makes a grave error by declining to hear this case.

The Supreme Court refuses to review an odious 5th Circuit decision granting qualified immunity to Texas officials who arrested a citizens-journalist in retaliation against her posing questions to public officials. Sotomayor has an appropriately furious dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

genuinely why does anyone report anything he says at all as if it means anything still

Apropos of, well, everything, I was recently reminded of this very instructive gem from 2018.

Yesterday morning I stepped outside on my balcony for coffee with my wife and our neighbor. The drone was as low as it has ever been. We saw it over our heads. Below, our alleyway had turned into a parking lot for displaced people’s cars. A school next door is hosting around 1500 people.

This bridge is crucial for civilians to be evacuated from South Lebanon. Additionally, the only humanitarian assistance reaching there now is very largely reliant on Lebanese CSOs who find it hard to get there without that particular bridge

Attacking critical infrastructure such as bridges is not beyond the realm of the IDF. Restricting humanitarian access is an IHL violation. Especially from the north to the south of the Litani River. Pic from March 13

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

And this shoddy hit job will be used not only to restrict care in the UK, but it will also be used to restrict care around the world. That's what this is all about. Launder the "progressive" reputation of the UK as they completely strip every right of trans people there, including even using the loo

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

This is an Orwellian use of Palentir by Streeting.

Using the NHS in this way is unacceptable and totalitarian and will result in people being sent back to work who are too ill to do the job.
