Melania Trump urges protecting children’s education at UN after Iran school strike The first lady’s UN security council speech came days after Iranian media reported an airstrike killed 165 people and injured 96 others at girls’ school

Iran’s ambassador to the UN called it β€œdeeply shameful and hypocritical” for Washington to convene a meeting on protecting children in conflict while simultaneously launching airstrikes on Iranian cities.

Trumps clod footed as ever

Hillary Clinton has more than her share of flaws, but when it comes to "showing congressional Republicans the proper level of contempt" she is flawless.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a β€œvictim” in the warrant.

Starmer is not really the paragon of virtue that he may seem along side Trump. He’s aware that he’s hanging on to his leadership by a thread. He’s also up to his neck in Israeli cash.

Britain’s best interest… but also we have to remember that Israel has better interests

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

It’s why he talks about β€˜alarm clock Britain’ and subsidising pubs with benefit cap profits.
He appeals to a demographic that believes other people are getting something that they aren’t.

This assumption that β€˜green’ voters can do so because they’re economically better off works.

Do not allow the USA to use British military bases for strikes on Iran, and give MPs a vote in Parliament. I just signed the campaign calling to tell Prime Minister Keir Starmer: do not allow the USA to use British military bases for strikes on Iran

I don’t actually think the Iranian’s will see it like this. History will lump the U.K. and the US together.

AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?

ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed

AYMAN: Where?

LUNA: Are you serious right now?

AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation

World war. You martyr a supreme leader during Ramadan? The Iranians aren’t going to play. They’ve been waiting for this and these dumb fucks just handed it to them on a Mar a Lago cocktail plate.

15 US military aircraft have left the Rota and MorΓ³n air bases after Spain refused to allow them to be used for operations related to Iran, Reuters reports.

And yet Starmer falls between the cracks of both. I’m as ashamed of our government as I am of yours.

Omar llhan survived a war
She survived displacement.

Omar Ilhan doesn’t just represent a district, she represents every day people!

She believes in Dignity for All!
She doesn’t whisper truth to power she says it out loud!

And that terrifies the people who depend on silence!
