“It’s insane, we have a rogue US military contractor handling our most sensitive data. Palantir has a contract running our nuclear missile program. We have no national security.”

Palantir. IT'S WORSE Than You Think @carolecadwalla

All of us at Battersea are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Ambassador Anthony Head. For over 20 years, Anthony was a passionate supporter of our work and a true advocate for rescue. Thank you, Anthony, for everything you gave to Battersea and the animals in our care.

Applebaum: Trump is using a specific language from the 1930s: “enemies within,” “enemies of the people,” migrants and political opponents as “vermin,” migrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans.

That language comes from Hitler, Stalin and the Stasi. 1/

[Andy] "Burnham declined to describe the catastrophe on the ground in Gaza as a genocide."

Please RT this -until the man who expects to be PM - no longer declines to describe the IDF's crimes in Palestine & Lebanon as a GENOCIDE.

Thank you.

I don't know about you guys, but watching Hunter Biden slay trolls with sharp wit and self-deprecating humor this week has made this site bearable.

Thank you, @HunterBiden.
Congrats on your sobriety milestone.

Give 'em hell, brother.🙏💪

I am deeply saddened to learn that Lily was among the Navy personnel who lost their lives in the helicopter accident yesterday in Devon. Lily was a force of nature, the only serving female Commando, and inspiration to other young women - and frankly to me as well.

When I met her in Parliament in May 2025, I put the following post out on LinkedIn with the photo below.

"Her journey ... is one of courage, persistence, and service.

Lily is doing a fantastic job helping young people understand what life in the Armed Forces is really like, and why service matters.

We need more stories like hers in the public eye."

The names of the three individuals who sadly lost their lives this week have been released in full: Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, Lt Lil-Mae Fisher, PO Owen Green. My thoughts are with their families and loved ones at this terribly sad moment.

In a statement carried on the Royal Navy website, Lily's family say of her:

“Lily-Mae was an extraordinary woman, daughter, sister, and partner. To say she was full of life is an understatement: she took every opportunity to push her limits, achieve more, and bring out the best in those around her.

“We are so proud of everything she accomplished. She has left an immeasurable hole in our lives, and in all the lives she has touched and inspired. The family kindly ask for time and space at this difficult time.”

The death toll from Israel’s attacks on Lebanon over the past two years has exceeded 7,000 people, including 3,560 killed since 2 March 2026.

A devastating toll reflecting escalating attacks on civilians and the immense human cost of Israel’s military campaign.

A tenured professor of art therapy was suspended by her university and placed under formal investigation for the crime of using a Palestinian in a hypothetical example for uses of art therapy.

This is not 10th grade. It's a college, for adult students.
