URGENT: Germany’s collective punishment of my family continues. They’ve now frozen my pensioner mother’s bank account, claiming I somehow “control” it too. Her savings are inaccessible — yet she has received no official notice from any German authority. No charges no due process
@derJamesJackson i wish i'd missed this post and would not have visited https://t.co/VpkpwI5dMn to read through the publications mentioned. unbelievable criminalization of antizionist pro-palestine protests.
78 years ago, 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Britain made it possible.
Today, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Britain made it possible.
78 years of the Nakba - and 78 years of British complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.
Didn’t make much of it then, but was reminded of it by the fact that he thanked both Modi and Raga for their congratulations before thanking his own voters.
MK Stalin- 1.02 lakh votes deleted in Kolathur constituency, he lost by 8,795.
Mamata- 51,000 votes deleted in Bhabanipur seat, she lost by 15,000.
Kejriwal - 38,000 votes deleted in New Delhi constituency & he lost by 4,000. (2025)
Three prominent Chief Ministers of opposition were defeated by mass deletion of votes. If you still don’t see the pattern and believe they lost because of anti-incumbency then the joke is on you.
The fact that TVK is leading in Karur where people DIED in a stampede caused by their leader says all I need to know about the blind hero worship mindset of the people in TN.
Climate justice must be labour justice. Bengaluru's outdoor workers who feed, build, and clean the city are facing dangerous, interlinked climate threats. After intense heat, now it's torrential, once-in-a-decade rain + hailstorm driven by prolonged warming over the Bay of Bengal
Palantir were kind enough to sum up its hideous ideology in 22 points. And I have taken the liberty of annotating each one of them. Here is my interpretation of all 22 of them (preserving the original numbering - for the original see their tweet below):
1. Silicon Valley owes an immeasurable debt to the ruling class who bailed out the criminal bankers that wrecked the livelihood of the majority of Americans. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley will defend that ruling class to the death (literally!), in the name of the majority of Americans whom they treat with contempt – i.e., like cattle that have lost their market value.
2. Palantir is eyeing the Apple Store, salivating over the prospect of creating its own technofeudal estate. Time to replace the iPhone with another device that dissolves what is left of people’s privacy.
3. Palantir shall give nothing away for free. It cares uniquely over its own growth which it pursues by sowing fear so that it can sell a fake sense of security.
4. Glory to brute force! Ethics is for suckers. The West needs more of Palantir’s murderous software.
5. AI-powered killer robots are coming. The task is to profit magnificently by building killer robots first and ask questions later. To be able to do so, Palantir will do whatever it takes to avoid at all cost any international treaties that limit AI-driven killer robots.
6. Every poor sod (lacking the connections to avoid being thrown into the trenches with killer drones targeting them from the sky) must be drafted into the army. Forget paying soldiers a salary. All payments should be directed to Palantir, where our own people will be serving their ‘national service’ – leaving the dying to non-shareholders.
7. Palantir works overtime to equip US Marines with killer bots that take away from the US Marines whatever remnants of ethical judgment they are left with on the battlefield. American society should be rendered perfectly incapable of any debate that restricts Palantir’s capacity to get the US Military to eliminate any remaining opportunity to reject its software’s choice of targets.
8. Palantir deplores the fact that the public sector is still not totally devoid of a conscience. Public servants must be fired en masse, except some very few approved by Palantir who will receive huge salaries, paid by taxpayers.
9. Palantir thinks that Donald Trump must be beatified for throwing himself into public service. Not forgiving folks like Trump everything risks our soul, not to mention that it raises the prospect of officials that restrict Palantir’s evil project.
10. Politics needs to be AI-like, devoid of anything that can be mistaken for human empathy. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self must be sent to the gulag forthwith!
11. There are some people too eager to hasten Palantir’s demise. They should rethink, or else!
12. Palantir makes no nuclear weapons but is happily developing other weapons of mass destruction. We proudly announce that we are now ready to add to nuclear Armageddon the AI-driven threat to humanity’s existence.
13. No other country in the history of the world has committed so many war crimes in the name of progress and freedom. The United States offers infinite freedom to people like Palantir’s founders to profit so handsomely by inflicting so much damage upon humanity.
14. American power has feasted on causing one war after another, one putsch after another, one avoidable financial disaster after another. Too many have forgotten or perhaps have taken for granted America’s capacity to pursue forever wars in the name of peace and democracy.
15. German and Japanese Fascism must be made great again. The denazification of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly misplaced commitment to Japanese pacifism must also end immediately!
16. We should applaud those who attempt to monopolise everything by means of generous government contracts. Billionaires must not be satisfied merely with their billions. To become even more obscenely rich they need grand narratives that help them convince the poor to use their freedom to keep them, the billionaires, in power. And, by the way, Palantir loves Elon, especially his grand apartheid-inspired narrative.
17. Silicon Valley must be free to do in America’s cities what it did in Gaza. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it came to granting Palantir the right to annihilate all remaining civil liberties and human rights. This must end.
18. Epstein’s syndicate should be forgotten lest lovely people like Trump and the Clintons are deterred from entering government. The public arena must be scrutiny-free unless subversives like Sanders or Mamdani enter it.
19. We love banal public figures as long as they give Palantir all the juicy contracts. We also love colourful public figures who give Palantir all the juicy contracts.
20. We need more opium for the masses, as they are not sufficiently inebriated for us to be unimpeded in the pursuit of their complete subjugation. Questioning organised superstition is dangerous and must end.
21. Time to bring back Hitler’s hierarchy of races, with Palantir’s founders and Elon at its Aryan pinnacle. The idea that it is wrong to judge someone by the colour of their skin or their ethnicity or their religion must be jettisoned.
22. Blacks, Muslims, most Asians, and of course women, are inferior untermensch. Blokes in America, and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted putting these subhumans in their places in the name of inclusivity. It was a mistake. Such subhumans must never be allowed in, except as servants or sex service providers – at least until we can improve our robots, in which case we won’t need them at all.
The first arrests under the trans act have been made in Mumbai despite the law not even being notified yet
2 muslim trans women arrested for helping a minor trans girl who ran away from her home
UPDATE: A German court has suspended the freezing of my wife’s accounts.
It said it has “serious doubts” about the legality of the measure and a “massive interference” with her rights, dismissing claims I “control” her finances as normal family behaviour.
A rare sigh of relief for us.
This is truly an appalling story.
EU sanctions for reporting on German repression of Pro-Palestinian dissidents.
His funds frozen. It is a crime in Germany carrying up to 12 years in jail to give him money - or to give food to his family.
German journalist Hüseyin Doğru has had no access to his bank accounts and has not been allowed to travel since the EU sanctioned him in May.
The sanctions came following his reporting on the repression of pro-Palestinian activists.
This week, a Frankfurt court upheld the blocking of his accounts.
Doğru and his family now face homelessness.
Journalists critical of Western foreign policy are increasingly subject to sanctions and legal harassment designed to make their lives impossible.
they passed it through a fucking voice vote. for those unfamiliar, the speaker made a GUESS ab how many people were for and against the motion depending on how loud the voices were. just like that, our rights and our existence as trans people is actively being erased.
“we’re not angry enough” is off. it’s more that we aren’t organized enough. what is anger with nowhere to go? nothing to do? we won’t spontaneously combust our way out of what’s to come. what’s already here. take the fact of yesterday on the chin. build today, for tomorrow.
