following international law for refugees is a fairytale apparently

The European Union, which is the leader of the international coalition for Doing Nothing, will continue to Do Nothing in response to Israel's emboldened apartheid system.

#WATCH | Israel bombs the headquarters of the "Al-Risalah Ambulance Society" in the town of Kafr, southern Lebanon. I guess ambulances are Hezbollah now

Clever and sensible not getting dragged in update:

The answer is simple. The Home Office and the anti-immigration lobby in the media know perfectly well that the actual argument for these proposals has been comprehensively lost and they need therefore both to misrepresent what they mean *and* public attitudes. (1/2)

Hegseth: "As far as NATO, that's a decision that will be left to the president, but a lot has been laid bare ... you don't have much of an alliance if you have countries that are not willing to stand with you when you need them."

Israel just destroyed a factory that makes anti cancer medications

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered day 32 with most users cut off from the outside world for over 744 hours. Extended digital isolation is bringing new challenges for Iranians, from expired domains and accounts to unpatched servers on a degrading national intranet.

I’m sorry but I wish the US “left” had more juice than some shouting in public about how much they hate Trump before going back home to hang up their quirky hats. YOU ARE THE EVIL EMPIRE AT WHOSE HANDS MUCH OF THE WORLD IS DYING FFS. This is life & death, not electoral politicking. DO FUCKING BETTER

A bombed building in Mahnaz St., Tehran. They are still pulling out bodies from under the rubble. Eye-witnesses say about four bldgs on all sides have become uninhabitable.

Organizations such as ILGA-Europe recently reclassified the UK as having "no functioning legal or administrative process for legal gender recognition." This places the UK alongside countries like Hungary and Russia in European rights rankings. rainbowmap.ilga-europe.org/categories/l...

Don't ever say that Starmer is a "decent man" or that he is better than Tory leaders.

164/ "you can intercept a missile, you can shoot down a drone, you can destroy a launch site and they’ll rebuild it in weeks but you can’t intercept a generation of engineers & physicists coming out of a university every single year that’s the one thing sanctions couldn’t stop"

"Much of public split, indifferent/confused by complex settlement policy row that has mobilised hundreds of thousands of Commonwealth migrants in anxiety at proposal to triple the wait for security to 15 years, as PM heeds pressure to rethink" is what BMG and I paper find by polling a 10 year policy

Strikes me as an absurd threat, either we need the 4000 new training places or we don’t

NYTimes has spent years breathlessly repeating claims that objecting to the treatment of Palestinians is antisemitic, but when right-wingers say they're “J-pilled,” NYTimes calls this "slang for skepticism of Israeli influence." Where's the "J" in "Israel"? Might that "J" mean something else?

For 2 1/2 years countless dead & decapitated Palestinian babies appeared *daily* across my social media feeds. I let those children down. I did not do enough for Palestine, whose suffering is bottomless, & whose decades of oppression anticipated the present evil. A 1yr old, Tehran, March 28, 2026.

It appears to be very intense.

Can anyone explain why those proposing that most 2021-24 arrivals wait 15 years to settle in Britain keep pushing polls asking people about 10 years as "support" for the policy??! Just 39% to 29% plurality for a softer version of actual policy, a 36% to 30% plurality for applying it to those here

BREAKING: Israeli military has been ordered to start targeting Iranian economic targets, according to the Times of Israel report.Link

NBC: Under intl law, hitting civilian infrastructure is prohibited. Why is POTUS threatening war crimes? LEAVITT: POTUS has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime their best move is to make a deal or else N: Which objectives would destroying a desalination plant help? LEAVITT: Haley, go ahead

According to March polling, only 32% of American Jews support the US's war on Iran, while 61% of white evangelicals support it. For reference, that's 27.3 million white evangelicals and 2.4 million American Jews

If your first reaction to the US and Israel committing grave war crimes against 10s of millions of people is anything but fear for the civilian population, you’re a bad person

The dancing diasporans will deny that this ever happened and their role in it for decades to come.

Israel told the Trump administration there is a “window of opportunity” to achieve a decisive outcome that could topple Iran’s regime, an Israeli official said, adding plans focus on striking energy infrastructure to push Iran toward financial collapse. -N12 News

Samo checking in just to let everyone know he’s fine with civilians being slaughtered

Every single target here is barred under the Geneva Convention

Threatening the drinking water and electricity of 93 million people because the IRGC whose control of Iran you accidentally made unshakeable won't agree to a protection racket deal with your son-in-law.

My partner just broke down crying because the latest “targeted” Israeli bombing has hit the middle of the street and a couple of buildings in the area where she grew up. Their old family house, right behind the one here, was designed by her grandfather and it was where she grew up with her cousins.

Trump against threatening grave war crimes against the civilian population of Iran, who less than 2 months ago he pledged to help:

At dawn today, 30 March, two political prisoners named Akbar Daneshvarkar and Mohammad Taghavi Sangdehi were executed secretly by the Islamic Republic's judiciary in Ghezel Hesar Prison, without prior notice to their families or their lawyers. www.en-hrana.org/political-pr...

Launch a war of aggression then conduct illegal attacks on civilian power infrastructure when the victim state refuses to capitulate. Where have I seen that playbook before?

Spain has closed its airspace to flights involved in Operation Epic Fury, launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. Not only is it prohibiting the use of the military bases in Rota and Morón de la Frontera by fighter jets or in-flight refueling aircraft participating in the attack.

NEW: On the first day of the war with Iran, the United States used a new ballistic missile. It was untested in combat. Our analysis shows it struck a sports hall, an elementary school, and residential areas — killing at least 21 people, including children. w/ @johnismay.bsky.social

"It's harsh, but we should enact policy to deport people." "So you want to deport people?" "How dare you sir! I have never been so insulted in my life. Fetch me my fainting couch!"

How it started/how it's going

I hate Keir Starmer. Repost if you also hate Keir Starmer

Reports indicate widespread power outages in parts of Tehran and Karaj.

Britain's newspaper of record proudly doing Infowars-level content with war criminals. Everything is rosy in the garden.

Partner’s mother says Tehran is unrecognisable from even 3 days ago

And quite frankly I am done with pretending otherwise. The road toward this pointless war was paved by people in power turning a blind eye to Israel/US actions in Gaza. People like Keir Starmer and his supporters

Labour and their outriders keep saying this and it simply isn’t true - the voters weren’t polled on what the policy actually is!

The Guardian's editorial board loves the far right because it makes them feel good about their sitting on the fence when it comes to the polycrisis as they seem good by comparison That's why they resent those who actually stand against the far right so much

I am tired of saying this because it is so obvious, but this did not start with Iran, it will not end with Iran. This is an existential war for the region & the world. Everyone around me keeps acting like this doesn’t affect them. It does. It will continue to. Politically, economically, legally.

Pahlavi at CPAC: “That’s why I can imagine an Iran that exports engineers instead of extremists, startups instead of suicide bombers, energy instead of hatred.” He really is just an irredeemable piece of shit
