Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.

I have no words. I feel sick.

Europeans have spread to almost every part of the globe, only the gray has been free from their presence.

But then THEY complain about immigration...

Iran had a democratically elected pm who wanted to nationalise oil. CIA organised a coup & installed the Shah & his secret police. The people turned to islamic extremists.
Vietnam allied with USA to fight Japan. After the war USA returned their country to French rule.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Who voted for this?

Water companies dump sewage in rivers. Execs get bonuses for destructive practices. Shareholders got £85.2bn in dividends.

6.17m people in England await 7.29m hospital appointments. 300,000 a year die prematurely.

Policies made to appease corporations and super rich.

Once upon a time he was their ‘monster of delusion’…

Now we’re back here again and the right‑wing press are on his side.

These papers are a disgrace.

The search for me in Clacton enters its 87th week.

These doctors are despicable. They are all mandatory reporters. They also were part of Epstein’s crime syndicate. That some of them were women is even more disturbing.

These wars are, in part, climate wars, even if we're not calling them that yet

See one of the problems here, that will be still there with a switch to renewable energy: bsky.app/profile/mich...

As @barnabascalder.bsky.social has shown, people have always tried to go a little overboard when building, when the energy was available / cheap. That's no different today, which is why we need strict limits, despite or perhaps because of the potential high availability of renewable energy.

Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza.

On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025.

Dramatic rise in water-related violence recorded since 2022 Experts say climate crisis, corruption and lack or misuse of infrastructure among factors driving water conflicts

As we witness the horror of attacks on desalination plants, we need to be aware, on a warming planet, conflict over water, using water as a weapon of war, & targeting people seeking water is on the rise

- in the past 4 years, it's nearly doubled:

‘A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict

These are the people Americans choose as their leaders

A man with zero empathy for his fellow humans and who glorifies and revels in the slaughter and maiming of innocent people
and promises to rain “death and destruction” with no mercy
