AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government. 

If a member of the public defecated on a public high street, they would be prosecuted. So how can is be acceptable for water companies to pump millions of gallons of human waste into public waterways and coastlines, avoid prosecution and get paid a fortune? #DirtyBusiness

Shell increases debt pile to $45.7bn to continue bumper shareholder payouts. 4% increase in dividends, $3.5bn share buybacks – 17th consecutive quarter of at least $3bn of buybacks. Customers will pay. CEOs appease shareholders who always want more. No govt curbs their power.

After the Epstein disclosures Peter Mandelson has just resigned from the UK House of Lords. However, he keeps the title. There is also the question of leaking sensitive information as a Minister, his appointment as the UK ambassador to the US, and those who lauded him.

My friend's estranged husband found guilty of DV, got a fine. People, holding home made signs given much harsher sentences. Our justice system is broken and corrupt. In what world is unprovoked physical violence considered less serious than silent protest? Shameful. #StarmerOut

Appeasing landlords. Decent homes standard for England’s private renters will not be enforced until 2035. Millions of renters are stuck paying hand over fist for shoddy homes that pose a real danger to their health. Govts put profits before people.

‘Absurd’: decent homes standard for England’s private renters will not be enforced until 2035

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

Screenshot of an X post from FactPost (@factpostnews) with the headline “US citizens detained by ICE speak out,” followed by a quoted account describing being dragged outside, put in a headlock, repeatedly saying “I’m a citizen. I have an ID,” and an agent responding “That don’t matter,” plus hearing wailing and crying from detainees and banter and laughter from federal agents. Below the text is a split-screen TV news image: on the left, a heavily armored officer in a helmet and gas mask with the caption “MINNEAPOLIS ON EDGE,” and on the right, a blonde female news anchor in a white blazer in a studio. A lower banner reads “CHRIS JANSING REPORTS,” with an MSNBC-style logo and a “LIVE” timestamp.

Donald Trump threatens to impose tariffs on countries that do not “go along” with his plan to annex Greenland. His envoy says a deal to take over the island “should and will be made” He wants to sanction NATO countries. When will Europe recognize that US is no longer an ally?

Nearly 30,000 people have cancelled their World Cup tickets after an innocent woman was shot in the face and Donald Trump called her a terrorist. Don't go to this dangerous hellhole, it might cost you your life.
