Trump administration waging illegal war on Iran, experts say Administration offers shifting explanations as it acts without congressional approval or legal premise The Trump administration is waging an illegal war on Iran, one that defies both the US constitution and international armed conflict laws, according to several legal scholars and bipartisan lawmakers. The Senate will vote Wednesday on whether to halt Donald Trump’s military offensive, which he launched on 28 February. Hundreds of people, including six US personnel, have been killed in a conflict that has now expanded to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Israel and the Persian Gulf. Continue reading...

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

A new space race could turn our atmosphere into a β€˜crematorium for satellites’ Planned β€˜megaconstellations’ of satellites could cause unforeseen harm to the ozone layer and climate systems. Global regulation is needed before it’s too late.

"...We estimate that a million satellites could mean that a teragram (one billion kgs) of alumina accumulates in the upper atmosphere – enough, alongside launch emissions, to significantly alter atmospheric chemistry and heating in dramatic ways we do not yet understand."

I think Isabel Oakshitt should be made to claim asylum in the first safe country she arrives at. Because that's literally what she demands everyone else does.

Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

The main reason UK energy prices are so high is not net zero but the fact the price of gas still sets the price of electricity. Breaking that link should be the priority.

GB News loses Β£22m, taking their total losses to over Β£130m. Except it's not a 'loss', it's an investment by Paul Marshall in providing a propaganda service to platform right wing grifters, gobshites, conspiracy nutters and contrarian fuckwits.

Update as Sadiq Khan confirms when Oxford Street will be pedestrianised The Mayor of London hopes to use the traffic-free street for events this year

Coming soon: a traffic-free Oxford Street.

Following strong public and business support, we’re moving at pace with plans to pedestrianise the heart of the West End.

A full mile between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street is set to go traffic-free by the end of this summer.

Trump belittles Starmer with 'no Churchill' jibe but can the special relationship recover? The remarks came amid a row over the refusal to permit the use of UK bases for the initial US-Israel strikes.

A special relationship is built on mutual love and respect.

An abusive relationship is when your partner belittles you, gives nothing back, threatens you, keeps negatively comparing you to an ex partner and despite it all assumes you'll always be there for them.

Two US military reconnaissance jets don’t swing by Western Australia for a joy ride. These jets are critical for the attack on Iran and this was an "unexpected" visit in the middle of that major US air war. The lies are stacking up.

Fines for UK financial crime nosedive to β€˜pitiful’ lows Penalties from the FCA drop by 78% in five years as it prepares to take on a new role as 'super-regulator'

strikes me that one of the most obvious things this government should do is properly resource regulators. There’s a gigantic gap between law and its enforcement, yet politicians always focus on announcing new rules rather than applying the old ones www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

Churchill has retrospectively been turned into a cartoon like superhero who could do no wrong and who we all owe a debt of gratitude forever.

The gold standard of leadership.

A man of supreme wit and gifted with statesmanship unrivalled by any other

It's far more complicated and interesting 1/3

Declan J. Coady, Nicole M. Amor, Noah L. Tietjens and Cody A. Khork were killed in Kuwait on March 1. All died fighting in Trump-Netanyahu's war to protect Israel. They deserved far better:

If you disregard Spain's sovereign rights today, you're essentially telling every EU member state that their sovereignty is conditional on American approval.
That would be the behavior of an occupying power and we Europeans will not accept that. We still have significant leverage over the US.πŸ™„

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: so Trump can bring about "Armageddon." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been
"inundated" with complaints since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran over the weekend, receiving more than 110 complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East.
Journalist Jonathan Larsen broke the story, sharing specific complaints made by troops. One such complaint made by a noncommissioned officer reported that their commander had
"urged us to tell our troops that this was 'all part of God's divine plan' and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ."
"He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," the NCO continued. "He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy."

Outrageous that Trump is trying to bully Britain into handing over more NHS cash to big US pharma.

Keir Starmer should put the NHS and the interests of British patients above his attempts to cosy up to Trump. Scrap this bad deal now!
