Keir Starmer announcing involvement in Iran war

The United Kingdom has folded under Israeli and US pressure and opened its bases to be used by the US in the war vs Iran; the PM says it is for "defensive purposes" & safety of UK citizens, emphasizes it was not involved in the initial strikes; unsure how Iran's IRGC is going to read that.

Iranian state television has been hacked, with footage of Israeli strikes and an address by Netanyahu broadcast on the channel. #Iran

My heart breaks for the three service members who have lost their lives, and I am praying for those who were wounded.

America’s sons and daughters are being put in harm’s way because of Donald Trump’s illegal war.

Congress must act to rein in Donald Trump before more lives are lost.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

Today #ShowMeYourKnits is a reminder that we need to make beautiful things, protect joy, support each other, even (especially) when things are bad. #knitting is resistance, care, sanity & seeing it on display weekly lifts my heart.

Show me your LACE this week, you amazing, talented people ❤️ 🧶

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

😱Yet Trump was all worried about some mythical Ukrainian drone attack on Putin’s residence. Goes to show you « the president of peace » just wants to protect his idol putin.

Absolutely surreal to see the @latimes.com be cautious with this story until it was confirmed… then, within an hour, pivoting to pro-war propaganda.

You can see them be careful and responsible before panicking and immediately falling in line with Trump, telling us how we should feel.

Horrible.
