Huge mistake - the fallout from this action in such a volotile region will be an absolute disaster.
It’s for the Iranian people to sort out , not the Americans. Trump doesn’t care about Iranian freedom…

I fear that Labour’s special needs revolution will instead be a catastrophic letdown | John Harris A familiar story is unfolding: of lofty aims undermined by meagre budgets, constant anonymous briefing – and a drive to remove families’ basic rights, says Guardian columnist John Harris

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America?
The AI surveillance state is real β€” and it's being built by Palantir. The Most Dangerous Corporation in America?

Reminder: Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data. It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VwyhErd88

Are you sure it isn’t to limit young people having access to alternative( from mainstream media ) political information ? I can’t help thinking labour aren’t really bothered about young people or their health otherwise they would be funding schools and paying teachers a fair wage.

A suppressed warning finally appears: ecosystem collapse as a national security threat A government report on the national security implications of ecosystem collapse is finally out, and it’s even more shocking than feared

Despite its gravity the newly-released national security implications of ecosystem collapse appears shortened, suggesting the government held back the most disturbing findings. We can't respond to partially disclosed threats writes Prof Rupert Read.

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend.

She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care.

This is her story.
