#NATO is a military alliance of Western countries that was established in 1949

Developments since then are extending NATO’s global influence. NATO causes instability across the globe – as well as costing us increasing amounts of money – and it must be disbanded

💬 @zackpolanski.bsky.social: "Palantir’s most recent history is to actively aid and abet genocide in Gaza and to provide surveillance data for Trump’s paramilitary ICE squads, currently causing death and mayhem on the streets of America."

Let's keep Palantir out of our NHS in #Bradford.

If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate.

One of the most important things for British politics, society and national security

It's fundamental to the safety of our democracy and keeping fascism at bay

Palantir is a powerful, nasty piece of work and balls deep in the Trump administration
