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.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

No MP should be earning £380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.
Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Inviting Vladimir Putin to join a “peace board” is the diplomatic equivalent of hiring an arsonist to run the fire department. You don’t build peace by empowering the very people who torch it.
