Thousands of companies, law enforcement agencies, and politicians are enabling the inhumane anti-immigrant agenda. Every single one of them deserves our loud, public protest.

John Thurloe - Cromwell’s New Spymaster

Although he would not be named Lord Protector until December 1653, Oliver Cromwell had enough authority beforehand to appoint state officials, one of whom was new Head of Intelligence, John Thurloe.

UK governments - Tory & Labour - have handed contracts worth hundreds of millions of pounds to Palantir, the US corporation run by this far-right lunatic.

NHS data, Ministry of Defence, Cabinet Office & various other government departments.

What the hell were they thinking?
The CEO of Palantir.

Reform's racist Staffordshire Council leader Ian Cooper has now had his membership "revoked"

I suppose the much bigger and more important question is how did he get the job in the first place if he has views like this 👇

Hope someone remembers to get him some crayons.
Just so we're clear, the alleged President of the United States begged FIFA to make a fake award for himself to receive so he could walk across a stage and have a new trophy.

This has to be go beyond narcissism. The man is willing to drag himself through hot coals just to feel special.

Apple needs to bring its antiquated lines of apps into at least the 20th century and realise that the age of dictating to users is over.

Dear BBC, the objection to Israel is not its "war in Gaza". It's its *war crimes* against the Palestinian people, in Gaza (and let's not forget the illegal occupations).
Tell it how it is.

As the deaths continue Eurovision worries about the consequences - of losing a bit of TV revenue if they face up to the realities and ban anyone representing a government that has ordered war crimes from singing.

This guy is unelected and represents a “party” (company, actually) that has only FOUR seats in Parliament.
Reform are being given an enormous platform by the media; on they do not deserve. Please get some equality, balance and fairness into your bookings.
Petulant and arrogant little man.

That is why they are destroying education. Jefferson thought it important for the people.
Republicans and the wealthy don’t want a thinking people.

This is why cell phones are important to them.

The people won’t be reading books. Just scrolling.
