Palantir is using medical records to help ICE target its victims in the US. And Wes Streeting is pitch-rolling for Farage to do the same in the UK.
Palantir uses medical records to target people for ICE in the US – will the UK be next? | Good Law Project
Deadly ICE raids in the US rely on Palantir tools that mine health records to produce real-time data on people’s location – a chilling prospect for the NHS

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

Now this is the way to do it! I'm hoping to get bottom surgery done this year and I hope this is everyone's reaction when I do. 😂
Congratulations on the upgrade to your corporeal form! 🖤

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

If I swap "member of the opposite sex" for "person who is sexually attracted to women" (which seems to be the focus of the complaint) and present an expert with a couple of studies showing women are more anxious about this, does having to share changing rooms with lesbians become a sex disadvantage?

Last week, in response to international pressure, X announced it was restricting Grok's ability to edit people into revealing clothes. That has not stopped the rampant trend of sexual harassment via Grok edits. The culture around GenAI is firmly rooted in abuse.

The deplatforming of the Molly Russell Foundation, whose raison d'etre is the harms done by social media, but which inconveniently opposes a ban, has been an especially illuminating feature of this 'debate'.
The media is not interested in what experts think. It just wants voices who agree with it.
