It appears a hospital in Teheran has now been hit.

Pushing the personable and intelligent representative of a religion to make people...hate that religion?

He's literally this meme.

For this week’s Silent Sundays, I’m highlighting five silent films to watch for Women's History Month, featuring films directed by Alice Guy Blaché, Mabel Normand, Lois Weber, Marion E. Wong, and Elsie Jane Wilson.

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.

“A cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law,” says Putin in a gushing blurb.

These ships have now disappeared from the real world, to exist forever on our war-score-board.

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. ⬇️

Keir Starmer was advised to ditch net zero. He needs to re-embrace it After byelection defeat and with right-leaning advisers gone, will PM return to his instincts and embrace Labour ‘DNA’ on climate?

Intelligence shows Russia is preparing new strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, Zelensky says. Everyone defending Ukraine must stay as focused now in spring as they were in winter. Ukrainians made it through the hardest winter of the war, he added.

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?

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

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.

Just another reminder that Trump doesn’t give a shit about anyone else but himself. Certainly not Iranian civilians, not any civilians in the Middle East, and not US military personnel in harms way.
