"Power Plant and Bridge Day" became the most humiliating military climb down in US history Yesterday brought a new meaning to the term “doom scrolling” as we anxiously waited for Trump to fulfil his threat to end a 6,000 year old civilisation (and possibly the world).

The two-week ceasefire is meant to give negotiators in Pakistan time to hammer out a permanent deal based on Tehran’s 10-point plan that has been sitting on the table from the beginning, meaning all this fighting was for nothing. NOTHING.

Yoav Gallant called Palestinians animals. This week Trump said the same about Iranians. Were we to respect other animals, and eschew human exceptionalism, the way we treat the Earth and each other might well look quite different.

He forgot his role as “liberator” when he justified his threats to reporters by saying “they’re animals”. Yesterday, he went even further...“a whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again”. It left many wondering if he would use nukes. www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/power-plan...

Name one thing Trump has done that he shouldn't be impeached for.

Trump looking forward to launching Power Plant Tuesday from British military bases President Trump says he is looking forward to launching Power Plant Tuesday from military bases in the UK, unless Iran opens the Strait that is only closed because Trump started this war.

Trump intends to "liberate" Iran by bombing it "back to the stone age"? For the past week or so, it’s felt like we’re stuck in an airport lounge while the Trump-ocalypse unfolds, or more accurately, in a spaceport, hoping to escape the madness of the world.

Camps. This is how it happens, how it starts.

I oppose US military activity in Iran. At the same time, I wonder why folk (who could afford—or even avoid—the filling stations) decry having to pay $4+ to break the climate! The plain refusal to seek knowledge about our impacts—to change habits and lives—feels as surreal as climate turmoil itself.

The news gets more sordid by the hour. Blowback is certain. Anyone with a shred of respect for human dignity is horrified.
If we were a sensible species, we'd see our climate falling apart and ask: Cripes, maybe it's time to figure out how to behave ourselves after all these centuries of nastiness?

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026

Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

This is well put. So *many* technologies are joyous and progressive. The web was invented in a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY! It is, in fact, an aberration that the fascist VCs think they're the default with their approach to tech. They were only ever supposed to be a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.

Here is the smoking gun that Epstein was an Israeli spy In a recent article, I showed you plenty of evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli spy, and while that evidence seemed overwhelming, some argued there was no smoking gun.

`Ask yourself why the Israeli consulate would be using a property managed by a sex trafficker and owned by his brother that was attended by underage models to house a former prime minister. Take all the time you need.'

I love the torture video. From Sulayem to Epstein.

Instead of investigating the "torture video" the DOJ investigated Pramila Jayapal?
