Palentir and the NHS

The UK had a troubled relationship with Palantir before the contract was awarded, with privacy fears and worries over Palantir's relationship with the US government. Since its adoption, some care boards have delayed their implementations due to an unwillingness to use the system, and the British Medical Association has called for doctors to stop using it over Palantir's recent work with ICE on its deportation efforts.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Referendum, Grosso (presidente Comitato per il No): “Ha perso chi non voleva la legge uguale per tutti”

“Sicuramente ha vinto la Costituzione, ha perso chi la Costituzione voleva cambiare per affievolire le garanzie di autonomia e di indipendenza della magistratura, e quindi in qualche modo mettere a repentaglio quel principio che sta scritto dietro le spalle dei giudici nelle aule giudiziarie: la legge è uguale per tutti”. Lo ha detto Enrico Grosso, presidente onorario del comitato “Giusto dire no” promosso dall’Associazione nazionale magistrati, commentando gli esiti del referendum in conferenza stampa nella sede di Libera.

Referendum, Grosso (president of the No Committee): “He lost those who didn’t want the law for everyone.”

“The Constitution has undoubtedly won, those who wanted to change the Constitution to weaken the guarantees of judicial independence and autonomy have lost, and therefore, in some way, jeopardized the principle written behind the backs of judges in the courtrooms: “the law is equal for all.” Enrico Grosso, honorary president of the “Just Say No” committee promoted by the National Association of Magistrates, said this commenting on the results of the referendum at a press conference at Libera headquarters.

The article “Referendum, Grosso (Committee for No) President: “Those who didn’t want the law to be equal for all have lost” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.”

Tomorrow is Sunday, when most religious persons attend church services. What would happen politically, if tomorrow - every Pastor, Father, Worship Leader, and Pope Leo XIV delivered remarks about the Unholiness of War and Violence... theconversation.com/evangelical-... #JustSayNo to Armageddon 🚫💣🚫

Evangelical holy war: Why some...
Evangelical holy war: Why some Christians think Trump will end the world

Rhetoric about Donald Trump being divinely anointed and about to cause Armageddon indicate that U.S. policy is being promoted with violent religious fanaticism.

The Conversation

Okay, I've already had one knuckle-dragging moron accuse me of treason or something [1] because of that line about the Democrats being useless.

So I'll be perfectly, utterly clear here. This is the absolute, bare minimum that the Democrats in the US House and Senate need to do.

1. The Pentagon and White House submit a request for additional funding, to fight the illegal, undeclared, unconstitutional war Trump launched against Iran. Might be the $200 billion they're asking for now, might be less, doesn't matter.

2. The Democratic response is "No."

Not "Oh, can you get by with <lesser number>?".

Not "Well, we'll fund these acceptable parts so we don't get accused of not supporting the troops but we'll refuse these other parts".

Not grandstanding and delaying.

Not negotiating.

Not presenting counter-proposals to fund the war "their way".

Just "No."

Anything other than that is capitulation, playing into Trump's hands.

[1] His lack of argument was kind of hard to follow, to be honest, so I'm not sure what he was actually accusing me of. 🤷
