Winston Churchill quite literally asked the Americans to overthrow the very popular socialist Iranian government in 1953 because Churchill wanted the UK to keep extracting Iran’s oil wealth without paying for it.

Please do be a bit more historically aware.

The orange felon made sure to lower US flags to half-staff for fascist propagandist podcaster Charlie Kirk but not for civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson or the 6 soldiers he killed with his war in Iran.

Why do Jews still live in Iran? Despite heightened tensions with the West and strict Sharia laws, 9,000 Jews still live in Iranβ€”and they have no plans to leave anytime soon.

Jews don't suffer from persecution and are permitted to maintain their Jewish lifestyle without interference. Their rights as an official religious minority in Iran are protected by law and constitution, and they even have a representative in parliament. www.jns.org/why-do-jews-...

MAGA wanted lower grocery prices, lower gas prices, the Epstein files to be fully redacted/fully released and no new war.

They were given none of that. Yes, it’s a cult of idiots.

Missing history πŸ€”

The Anubanini rock relief, carved into a mountain in western Iran, 4,300 years ago. It was made by the Lullubi, a Bronze Age people who spoke an undeciphered language.

An Akkadian inscription is also attached to it:
"Anubanini, the mighty king, king of Lullubum, erected an image

Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

At least 39 Palestinians, 22 of them minors, died due to insufficient shelter this winter in Gaza
YouTube video by B'Tselem At least 39 Palestinians, 22 of them minors, died due to insufficient shelter this winter in Gaza

"At least 39 Palestinians, 22 of them minors, died due to insufficient shelter this winter in #Gaza.

25 were killed by structures collapsing and 14 died of hypothermia.

This is not a natural disaster. It is a man-made catastrophe."

Starmer says he knows people are worried about their bills going up because of the war & "supporting working people & their families" with the cost of living is always at the top of his mind

How does helping the US to bomb Iran support working people & their families?

Scans of brains with, PTSD, Depression, anxiety and without showing clear differences in functioning.

Scans of brains with, PTSD, Depression, anxiety and without showing clear differences in functioning.

Can’t stop crying, not grieving.

Nothing brings joy, not sad.

Struggle with basics, feel shame.

Share experiences, many think it’s like being down, unsolicited, ignorant advice ensues.

Psychiatric illnesses, brain function altered, but many label us, negative, lazy & selfish.

The image depicts a stark contrast between the imperial rhetoric of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the documented atrocities committed against Kenyans during the Mau Mau Uprising (1952–1960). While the specific dialogue in the image is a modern creative  it is grounded in historical events and verified testimonies of colonial violence. Death Tolls: While official records initially cited around 11,000 deaths, modern estimates by historians like Caroline Elkins suggest the actual toll of those who died from disease,representation,  starvation, and violence in the camps could be as high as 100,000 to 300,000.

This is what happens when we enable the #FarRight to spread their lies, poison & hatred.

And it is why I call for them to be banned. Things will become worse, especially if #Reform are elected.

Mark my words.
