New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."
Had to doublecheck the date on this
The USDA has already lost 27,000 employees (27% of its entire workforce) since January. And now they’re rolling out Palantir to monitor everyone who’s left. Federal workers, be aware. The tools being put in place around you are not there to help you. They are there to watch you.
The conflict stems from Anthropic’s refusal to support certain defense applications of its technology, including broad domestic surveillance programs and weapons systems capable of lethal action without meaningful human control.
A win! A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from gutting the appeals process for migrants facing deportation stopping a planned overhaul that would have automatically thrown out all appeals
"It's just a terrible, terrible indictment that it wasn't because a woman's word was sufficient," says @carolecadwalla.bsky.social about the long-overdue investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The real scandal of yachtgate is that Deripaska peddled influence in UK for years. Influence that the UK govt is STILL refusing to investigate. Mandelson’s venality & hunger for the high life shows up not just in his compromising r’ship with Epstein. Deripaska needs far greater scrutiny too.

Deripaska is such a key figure in subversion of US 2016 election. And tight with half the British establishment. The files show how Mandelson tried to get his help with Russia visa for Epstein & much more. Tony Blair is also in the mix because: of course.

Question for Bluesky: The Spectator has asked me to take part in a debate on AI with Palantir’s very own Louis Moseley. And, possibly, Michael Gove. This is eg of the Spectator’s coverage of me. Should I accept?
NEW: This is a terrific deep dive into Epstein & Russia by @professorshaw.bsky.social for @thenerve.news which starts with ‘Yachtgate’, Mandelson’s 2008 scandal involving Nat Rothschild, George Osborne & Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska

The same technological pinpoint accuracy that was used to slaughter children in Gaza now being used to slaughter children in Iran.
I hope this gets more people to see this important and heartbreaking movie.
Bullying people won't work. People have a genocide in real time on their phones and a majority of Americans want it to end.

Pretty funny that Michael Gove is dunking on me now he’s editor of the Spectator to promote its ‘bias-free’ reporting when as a politician he wouldn’t answer any of my press inquiries on the massive Brexit fraud he oversaw as Vote Leave’s co-convener
8th March, International Women's Day.
A reminder that it's 2026 and the patriarchy is very much alive and kicking: protests almost 10 years ago, and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's powerful read just a few weeks back. #InternationalWomensDay

This is an escalation by DHS.
Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.
Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

Shailja #FreePalestin... @shailjapatel Your scheduled reminder that the U.S. bombing of Baghdad in 2003 burned Iraq's National Library and Archives, which housed all the PhD dissertations ever written by Iraqi women. Fiona Laker @fioneezy Americans getting shocked so many Iranian women have PhDs as they on the other hand drown in student debt and can't afford to pursue higher education💀
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the first group of Ukrainian military experts will depart for the Middle East on Monday, to share experience gained during four years of war with Russia.

For context, our HOA has nearly double the population than all of Bozeman, Montana, so that's saying something. 👍
Chris Murphy is spot on.
Amazing to be out supporting @zackpolanski.bsky.social in South London on Saturday! So much support on the streets, we're bringing hope back, let's turn London Green 💚

Really looking forward to being on @zackpolanski.bsky.social @boldpolitics.bsky.social with Dylan on 23rd March at Hackney EartH! 👇
Fun Fact!!
Russia is providing intel to the Iranian military on the location of US troops.
Meanwhile, the US is lifting tariffs in Russian oil to counteract the supply disruption caused by the war.
Russia helps Iran kill US soldiers, and we reward them financially for their efforts.
