Trump Uses Immigration Enforcement to Make America Whiter Again

Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist

The Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies are racist and are intended to send even documented Global South immigrants and naturalized citizens out of the country. The evidence is clear, but the media cover up what is very obvious.

Report back: Palantir debated in parliament
Wednesday, 22 April 2026 — Foxglove

Last Thursday, multiple MPs from different parties stood up in parliament to say the same thing: Palantir has no place in the NHS.

In the most significant parliamentary debate yet on the NHS Federated Data Platform in England, MP after MP – from Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the SNP, Conservatives, the DUP, and independents – made the case that the government must use the break clause in Palantir’s contract and find a trustworthy alternative. It was an extraordinary display of cross-party unity, and it showed just how far this campaign has come.

By Craig Murray – Mar 31, 2026

As I was leaving the University of the Communes in Tocuyito, after a joyful and uplifting visit, an earnest young professor came up to me and pulled me aside. Very quietly, he asked me what was going to happen. A number of the students were terrified there would be regime change and they, picked as young socialist leaders in the commune movement, would be imprisoned, tortured and executed.

No comments on US Using Israel to Distract Away from World War 3: Blockade on Iran is an Act of War on China

US Using Israel to Distract Away from World War 3: Blockade on Iran is an Act of War on China
Friday, 17 April 2026 — The New Atlas
- As predicted a month ago, the US Marine Expeditionary Unit deployed to the Middle East is now imposing a blockade on Iranian oil to China;
- Those fixated on “Israel” are distracting away from what is ultimately an act of war on China amid what is quickly shaping into World War 3;
- The notion that it is “inconceivable” the US would launch one war to set the stage for war with another nation ignores both US history and the history of empire in general;

Consequences of Apps for ID and in Health

This week, Phil joined Dr Marcus Baw on his ‘Everything Digital Health’ podcast to discuss ID cards, Healthcare and Privacy (amongst other things…)

It covered a lot of ground, including consensual, safe and transparent use of patients’ data and what that means in practice – and also considered whether the good parts of NHS culture (as yesterday’s Westminster Hall debate laid out in detail, there are other not-so-good parts) might offer a model for more open, accountable digital government.

“Peace at any cost – Israeli style”: Why Netanyahu is pushing Trump toward war with Iran
Friday, 17 April 2026 — New Eastern Outlook

Muhammad Hamid ad-Din

It was Israel that called the shots at the failed talks in Pakistan.

While diplomats in Islamabad were trying to save the region from the brink, a clear signal came from Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem: the war must go on. For the Israeli prime minister, a ceasefire isn’t a respite – it’s a death sentence. And Donald Trump, surrounded by a family with deep roots in the Zionist movement, appears to have become a pawn in someone else’s game, the goal of which is to destroy Iran at any cost to satisfy Netanyahu.

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
