This is a really good example of how O'Brien, and many Ministers these days tbh, operate - give the appearance of a man of action by making demands of everyone else while refusing to address your own contribution to the problem

Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it. The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday. (📸 Middle East Observer)

Just like Venezuela does not send fentanyl to the U.S. and Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. It’s all been false flags to justify military aggression and war.

The gang at @tg4.bsky.social, who make very fine documentaries, have a documentary about John Charles McQuaid coming out next week. I'm eager to see it, he is a fascinating and enraging subject.

We do not belong to a constitutional republic We are being ruled by gangsters and madmen - Netenyahu Trump and the new tech overlords and oligarchs power mad ghouls - unthinkable greed - madness insanity .

clearly he hasn't read the many works by our Leftist Betters on how Trump was Actually Going to Rein In Israel Unlike Biden.

To reconsider a fundamental of American history, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not an act of war, but merely a strategic strike. It needs to no longer live in infamy, perhaps.

Westerners will insist (while doing a frowny face) that civilians being slaughtered in [bad country] is necessary because [bad country]'s government might do bad things in the future. But never accept they should suffer anything as a consequence of atrocities their government has done.

I have stood in the rooms where similar forced medical experiments on prisoners were carried out. The place was called @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social, you might have heard of it.

The gap between how cool he thinks he sounds and how he actually sounds would take light eight centuries to traverse.

It's time someone "rounded up" Laura Loomer

Sorry your loved one was killed by a squirter.

Hey, @micheal-martin.bsky.social, look, it's apparently this easy.

Followed a link from @duncanjonesmerrion.bsky.social to find this really interesting chart: I can remember when Ireland was one of the cheapest for electricity in Europe, but then it was deregulated to make it cheaper...or something like that.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage says the UK is under attack “Are people nervous about getting involved in foreign wars... of course they are, but this is very different to the Iraq decision”

It's remarkable how easy a functioning press could shatter these fragile fascist losers to pieces with very little effort.

Quote of the day.

They tried in Vietnam. They tried in Afghanistan. They tried in Iraq. Every single time, some overconfident fascist says "it'll be quick," and every single time, the only quick thing is how fast the plan falls apart. #cdnpoli

The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

hey who up projecting they power

Less than 2 months ago EU leaders were insisting on strategic independence from an increasingly aggressive US demanding territorial expansion in Greenland. Now, they're tripping over their heels to join that US in an illegal war of aggression and regime change. What weak cowards with short memories.

Thou shalt not kill schoolchildren to distract from your crimes against children.

Complicit cowards. Unwilling to critique American actions of aggression. Sickening stuff. No such hesitancy, and rightly so, when it comes to russian acts of imperialist aggression.

I think it's probably not a good thing that basically an entire generation of politicians and their advisors are still seething about the Iraq War and so are constantly looking for The One Good Intervention/Regime Change to own the left forever and they keep on destroying lives in pursuit of it.

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

Keir Starmer, sensing he's close to finishing his mission of killing the labour party for at least a generation, decides to deliver one last Blairite special for old times sake

Starmer adding an incredibly unpopular, unjust war on the side of the most detested country in the world and the second most detested is surely going to turn his numbers around, just you wait and see.

Did Jarlath Burns really think his response to the protest yesterday was a real gotcha? Using his own trauma re the state-sponsored attack on Donnelly's bar to chastise people who are against state-sponsored attacks doesn't stand up to much scrutiny.

What a waste of space honestly

Yes, the Iranian regime was/is very bad. My question remains: why is it the American regime who gets to decide when, if, and where neoimperialist military interventions are appropriate, and - as they're clearly not bothered about human rights, let's be real - what do they want out of it?

What a buffoon! McEntee states she 'can’t say' if US-Israeli strikes on Iran are illegal jrnl.ie/6971197

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

Thinking of the 148 schoolgirls slaughtered by military members.

As a colonial legal historian, co-signed. We don't like your leaders so we're going to kill/kidnap/depose them for your sake; you can have a new leader, as a treat, but only if we like them (sotto voce: and they'll do what they're told).

"On the panel this morning, Brenda Power ..." *click*

Ursula Von der Leyen thinks Titanic is a film about a terrorist iceberg that attacked an innocent ship.

The US killing one and hundred fifty school children in a single attack on Iran has apparently been universally decided to be a non story by the Western press. Not front page news, not in the highlights, instantly memory holed. Profession and institutions worse than worthless.

When they decided to make a movie about the 2004 Tsunami, the story was about a white family on holiday who had a rotten time. If they ever make a movie about the 2026 attack on Iran, I fully expect it to be about influencers in Dubai wondering why they've done to deserve such treatment.

This is a consistently weird outlier show.

Israel and the us apparently has a right to defend itself against nuclear facilities that maybe dont exist and 150 children attending school (nuclear school) The sooner these nations cease to exist the better

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "There is only one [country] in that area with a nuclear weapon, and that's Israel" #bbclaurak: "but there is also only one democracy.." Kuenssberg is defending a genocidal apartheid state that denies millions of people under its control their basic civic rights

So that’s two heads of state that Trump has removed in military operations. This is the president of peace that was going to stop the US getting involved in foreign wars.

"we are working to line the pockets of billionaires. We are being bled dry. And I don't think it's extreme or radical to think that hard work should get you a nice life. We have shown we don't have to accept being turned against each other at all." Hannah Spencer MP

Fact

Death toll approaches 150 after US-Israeli strikes hit Iranian school www.lbc.co.uk/article/deat...

"When you get a regime like this [Iran], lashing out in the Middle East, indiscriminately and widely, hitting civilian as well as military targets" This is the UK defence minister talking about an illegal and unprovoked attack *on Iran*

I firmly believe there are people who would still be alive today if not for the government delaying the blanket 30km/hr speed limits for urban areas. More will die while we wait for local councils to act #spéirgorm

Years ago in another life I gave a guest lecture at The Hague warning “AI weapons” could be invoked to remove accountability for war crimes from the chain of command. I said “there are no autonomous weapons, only unsupervised ones,” and sadly it seems I was cooking with that one

This right here is a big part of why the world is going to shit
