We want to *AGAIN* remind whomever is training/bootlicking/authorising/validating the choices of the orange dictator-in-training, it's February.

It.

Is.

February.

And wayyy too many of us are already tired ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฟโ€โ™€๏ธ

This isn't going to end well.

We hope it will.

We hope the people of Iran's choices will be respected and supported by ALL its leaders and invaders.

We hope the cost of this bombardment, isn't more devastation and death.

We will continue to hope and stand in solidarity with all living in Iran.

'We represent *REAL* Brits. We're the party of the workers ๐Ÿ˜ƒ'

A persistent joke.

Local social care funds will likely be effected, as if they weren't squeezed enough.

Donald J. Trump said this with his chest...

The levels of delusion Trump and his minions exhibit, are both hilarious and terrifying ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Why do WE focus so much on the US?

The amount of influence and control the US has over most nations has never in recent history, been so worryingly clear.

Will this lead to any change? Nope.

However, it may ruffle some Republicans and Tories, who prefer to *hint* at their racism and internalised bias.

Anyone else feel like this was a test? A chance to see just much of his white supremacist heart could be revealed, before backlash and push back.

Trump says America should move on from Epstein - it may not be that easy The justice department says its review of the files is over, but the story is again proving to have a life of its own.

As if he didn't use this to further his myth of a cabolt of 'elites'... As if he wasn't an 'elite'... ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Has he actually met the victims and survivors? Used his platform?

Or is he bored of exploiting their trauma and pain?? ๐Ÿค”

One thing that is constantly not mentioned is the cultural genocide of Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities.

So many countries claim to prioritise human rights, but when action is needed...Crickets...

...But if the region had natural resources๐Ÿ˜’

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

' #X is structured to humiliate and bully out marginalised voices. This is how #WhiteSupremacy operates in practice. So it is less a platform for #FreeSpeech than a stage for white male voices...'

We stand with the people of Venezuela. Their voices and theirs alone should be the one's listened to.

Not an orange man-baby ๐Ÿคก

American 'liberation' is *NEVER* free or selfless. Greed is *ALWAYS* at its core.
