A few weeks ago, I posted about Hanne Engan a woman with diabetes who almost died of neglect & mistreatment while being wrongly detained in one of Trump's ICE torture concentration camps.
This isn't a one off. Dozens of people have died. People are being tortured, even babies!

St Peter, Marlborough. Redundant in the 1970s. Now a cafe. The Victorians did a right number on it 🤨
They are clearly very proud of the Wolsey connection.
Fortitude. Because you know you need it! By Sandro Botticelli, whose day is today, in 1470.

Whatever fuel or armaments they were carrying can be forgotten for the rest of time.

Iran have been attacked by a nuclear power after forming security alliances with other countries. They should pledge neutrality & trade land for peace.
Apparently that's how this works.
1/ Russian commentators are sounding the alarm over America's use of a new kamikaze drone against Iran, the Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS). They note that it appears to have an integrated Starlink terminal and warn that it's a serious threat to Russia. ⬇️

This is just so fucking depressing.
"Shah was one of eight people from an ethnic minority background to be featured on the Heathrow posters. Another Muslim who took part - a successful sportswoman - received so much abuse she asked for the posters of her to be taken down."
Isn't he also a devout Christian?

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.
Over the last two years, there have been assaults, violent attacks on mosques, and anti-Muslim rhetoric from prominent figures on the far right. But there's also been renewed scrutiny of issues within Muslim communities, and how well integration has happened. There are questions about how well successive governments have engaged with Muslims to deal with issues in their own communities, and Islamophobia from outside.
So the BBC did an article about a Muslim man who got hideous racist abuse for appearing in a “Welcome” advert at Heathrow airport…
…and they included this passage. What the actual fuck is wrong with them?!
Iran has a great many Mandelas and Walesas. Most of them are in a prison that Israel bombed back in July.
