Trump was hosting a fund raiser at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, as the U.S. offensive began. The NYT reported last year that tickets for the dinner dance were $1M apiece. The optics of Trump partying while US soldiers died is partly what is behind the fact that today, #SendBarron trended on social media.

here's a long term, 20 year, study in to the impact of puberty blockers on trans kids. someone tell streeting, @lucympowell.bsky.social, and @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, that their very obviously bad faith study based on the tory party policy document that is called 'the cass review' is not needed

It’s a full moon tonight (2nd March) into tomorrow (the 3rd). It’s the Worm Moon, named because it coincides with earthworms becoming active and more visible. More generally, this full moon symbolises renewal and awakening. Those in the US will also be able to observe a full lunar eclipse 🪱🌝

What is going on in Iran feels a lot like history repeating itself. The current power vacuum will be filled with people who are worse than the prior regime. And the U.S. justification for the attack, WMDs, is playing just like the Gulf War

In other words, they knew who they needed to protect and, like Kash Patel did, insisted that there was simply no sex trafficking evidence. A cover-up of massive proportions.

Markwayne Mullin just did a Fox News hit in which he repeatedly praised "President Hegseth" and then said the president can ask Congress to declare war "on Iraq"

After mentioning four dead US servicemen Trump starts talking about his ballroom. In a competitive field, this may be one of the most offensive things he has ever done.

#OperationEpsteinCoverup is killing our members of the military! 🤬🤬🤬

Scouting America says transgender kids are still welcome after Pete Hegseth claimed they weren’t www.advocate.com/pol... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Will Iranians Rise Up? Here Are the Odds. Iranians despised the Ayatollah. That doesn’t mean they’ll side with the United States.

Hope won 💚

Hannah, we are so happy to welcome you to Parliament and to the team of @greenparty.org.uk MPs! 💐💚☀️

"i'm not only trapped in a warzone but im going to get fat again' is an actual real life line in this piece www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Medical experiments on prisoners? Where have we seen this before?

Spain has banned the USA from using its military bases. THIS is what everyone should have done.

The courage and resilience of these young people cannot be underestimated. These young folk are facing unprecedented anti-trans hostility in the UK. I commend them. I salute them 🫡 sophie-molly-reports.beehiiv.com/p/trans-kids...

Over 100 years later this remains true

The president of Iran's soccer federation says he does not know if the national team can play World Cup matches in the United States following the surprise U.S. and Israeli bombardment of his country.

This by 100 miles was my toughest ever interview & I believe @CydZeigler longest ever podcast. @CydZeigler makes me dig deep, very deep to justify my views on trans athletes & testosterone rules. Thank you @CydZeigler for asking the very tough question’s podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/o...

The Prime Minister must come to Parliament, set out the legal case for letting the US use UK bases for strikes on Iran and give MPs a vote. He must not let Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East.

[5] … on the hands of the belligerents. When ppl turn to bombs rather then follow through on diplomacy is beyond disgusting. Shane on the electorates of the US, UK & Israel. From the Irish President:

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that America will follow “no stupid rules of engagement” in its war on Iran. Speaking during a press conference at the Pentagon, Hegseth said the US is unleashing “the most lethal and precise air power campaign in history”.

hard to overstate what a dramatic escalation this is

Winter 2025/26 was wetter, duller & milder than average for the UK. ▪Rainfall 13% above avg ▪Sunshine 16% below avg ▪Mean temp 0.85C above avg The West Midlands, Cornwall and Leicestershire had their wettest winter on record. Dorset and Warwickshire had their second wettest.

The Pentagon doesn’t want to take the blame for this mess. www.reuters.com/world/us/pen...

Caine: "I am aware of the loss of 3 US Air Force F-15Es overnight in the region. I am grateful for the safety of the crews and we know this was not from hostile enemy fire. As this matter is under investigation, I'll not comment further on this."

BBC News - Could Kim's teen daughter become North Korea's next leader? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Both she and her aunt now have targets on their backs. My money is still on Kim Yo Jong. She is more ruthless and has time to build up a power base

Trump can’t organize a pissup in a brewery.

Saudi Arabia are reporting they've closed the Aramco Ras Tanura refinery, which produces half a million barrels of crude oil each day.

Is it clear which country carried out the strike on the child's school? So many children died =148 & they deserve justice. Either 🇺🇸 or 🇮🇱 bombed a girls school and there needs to be an investigation, arrest warrants & a trial. 148 girls matter. Their deaths ≠ necessary. Such a great loss.

Hell of a chart, this, from @financialtimes.com. Spot the JCPOA. on.ft.com/4kSuQYO

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Ukrainians live under thousands of Russian strikes with various types of weapons. In the last week of winter alone, Russia used more than 1,720 attack drones, nearly 1,300 guided aerial bombs, and over 100 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

Is it my paranoia or are there a significant number of accounts on here to which only some people can interact? It's usually politicians or activists espousing right wing or bigoted views

Shabana Mahmood will continue to pitch-roll for Reform and to try and ban legitimate protest against Israeli genocide. Wes Streeting will continue his war on trans youth whilst lying about it. Bridget Phillipson will continue with her new section 28. And Labour will continue to haemorrhage votes.

President Obama had a deal with Iran that trump ripped up without replacing, and now we're in an unnecessary war with Iran that he started without Congress, because he's a small, petty, envious punk.

The event will mark the first time a first lady or first gentleman has presided over a UN Security Council meeting www.rte.ie/news/newslen...
