When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Israelβs attack on Iran puts a leader addicted to war in the spotlight
If the wars stop, Netanyahuβs right-wing nationalist coalition likely falls apart β and he will almost certainly be back in court facing corruption allegations that could see him jailed
After more than 600 days of bloodshed in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and now a fresh attack on Iran, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu increasingly looks like a leader who is using those wars to extend his hold on power - and avoid facing the courts.

Every nation (and T-Mobile) should terminate its contracts with Starlink. This is a service that can be turned off at the whim of its sociopath CEO and can't be trusted.
Scotland should also impose a special "Ukraine War Tax" on Trump's golf pasture.

Screenshot of the Starlink webpage showing a list of global partners offering the Direct to Cell service, which provides reciprocal global access in partner nations. The listed cellular providers are T-Mobile (USA), Optus (Australia), Rogers (Canada), One NZ (New Zealand), KDDI (Japan), Salt (Switzerland), Entel (Chile), and Entel (Peru).
Screenshot of an STV News article titled 'ScotRail trains first in the world to hook up to Elon Musk's Starlink.' The subtitle mentions that satellite internet will be provided by Clarus Networks Group on Class 158 trains on Scotland's Far North Line. Below, there is an image of a ScotRail train at a rural station with a caption stating: 'ScotRail: Passengers on trains to Inverness, Thurso and Wick will be able to use the WiFi.
Starlink has partners in 8 countries. It works with existing phones.
It is also forging deals with rail companies, starting with Scotland.
This means that he is now starting to have access to a tremendous and unprecedented amount of data, on top of his already extraordinary access to capital.

It would be more than reasonable to ask what competitor systems were consider, and in what grounds they were rejected
