I am very concerned by the government's mass rollout of facial recognition technology.
This is a grave threat to privacy, and turns the presumption of innocence on its head.
We are hurtling toward a mass surveillance state. It must be opposed!

One thing I’ve found difficult about coming over to Bluesky is having to see people amplify the writings of some very dubious people. People like Cadwalladr and Monboit.
I detest these frauds as much as I detest Farage and Starmer

The double standards of European leaders is stark:
• It’s oh so nasty of USA imperialism to coming knocking on Greenland’s door.
• But it’s perfectly chill for USA to pursue colonialist goals in Venezuela etc.
All imperialism should be rejected.

"Threats, pressure and condescending speech. Even from our closest allies for a lifetime"
"About wanting to take over another country and another people, as if it were something you could buy and own"

We have a ruthless, maniacal dictator openly discussing which sovereign nation to annex.
We have a ruthless billionaire class driving the poor and lower middle classes into the ground.
We have spineless UK and European leaders still thinking that diplomacy works.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.
