US Airman Aaron Bushnell did not kill himself to protest some other country's war

The US Department of Defense has compelled the participation of Air Force members like Bushnell in Israel's Gaza genocide

Their orders to deploy to Israel read "mandatory"

don't grasp this basic concept. It is NOT Meta's sole responsibility to weaken these public protections in order to do the government's job.

[Dr Omair Uthmani @OUthmani]

As a cyber security educator and researcher, I'm relieved that @Meta has embraced e2ee. This makes @Meta a late adopter of an otherwise ubiquitous security and privacy protocol, that is foundational to our communications infrastructure. It is disappointing that our legislators

@Taj_Ali1 One of the most principled people. Ever. Such a loss.

We have 'Children In Need' because billionaires and international companies refuse to pay taxes.

Crucial points made by @maggie_titmuss. I'm privileged to be part of this conversation!

Thank you @emphilpott and @IASME1 for arranging this very important conversation at Cyber Inclusion

When UKIP won 166 councillors (but no councils) in 2014 the BBC called this a "political earthquake".

@TheGreenParty just gained 200 councillors, taking the total to 737, took control of a council & became the biggest party in several others.

But 0 Green guests on #bbclaurak.

Odd how this occurred just before a coronation that lasted a few hours & cost £100 million.

As a carer I know where £100 million would have been better spent.

Cut care, crown a king it seems.

We’ve been speaking with @NUthmani @EISUnion on a picket line in Glasgow this morning as primary school teachers strike across Scotland in a pay dispute. She says “teachers’ pay has actually eroded by over 20% since 2008 when inflation was 3%”. #HeartNews

I'm all for #AnatoleFrance 's "vive la difference"...but we could learn a thing or two here. What is this cultural difference that makes us so meek and compliant, while a stone's throw over the Channel it'd be the guillotine?

@Weird_AnimaIs @ItzamaLopezY I'm captivated...and repulsed...simultaneously

The company connected to Tory Baroness Michelle Mone was prioritised for £205M of Govt Covid contracts. It delivered substandard PPE that had to be incinerated. Now it seems HMRC are shutting MedPro down for non-payment of taxes. Just another day in the UK.https://t.co/ZzKlEjk01O

[Dr Omair Uthmani @OUthmani]

This is what people are having to do. To simply ask for fair pay. In Britain. In 2022.
We shouldn't need to, but here we are...

As strike negotiations continue with COSLA tonight, we've heard pupils across Glasgow have been organising not to cross the picket lines and are discussing what they can take to striking workers instead. The solidarity and camraderie is getting bigger and bigger!
