WASHINGTON (AP) — White House says Spain has agreed to cooperate with US operations in Mideast after Trump threatened financial penalties.
MADRID (AP) — Spain's government denies cooperation with US operations in the Middle East, contradicting White House.
Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:

The state of it has revealed that cabinet ministers privately believe the greens are hammering us by deliberately raising the salience of Gaza in the constituency.
The Labour government object to us talking about Gaza.
Genocide is serious and they should hang their heads in shame for arming it, not complaining to journalists.
Not surprised they're distracting from their other failures - like addressing the cost of energy bills and rent.
so you've probably heard about the London measles outbreak. A lot of people are talking about anti-vax misinformation, but that's not actually the problem here. The problem is austerity. 🧵

Israel is a top 10 global arms exporter. In 2024 arms exports rose to $14.9 billion, with 54% of those purchases made by Europe (MOD data). The UK spends millions of pounds each year on “battle-tested” arms from Israeli companies.
This 👇 is what "battle-tested means".

#OnThisDay in 1898, Bertolt Brecht was born. He did not write for art’s sake, but to challenge injustice, expose fascism and inspire change. His plays demand an active audience — and his socialist critique remains sharply relevant today.

A loud minority wanted to exclude trans people from the ponds. They've failed. Most women just want to swim in peace with their sisters.
If we can all investigate our own alleged crimes and see whether we've been cool, actually, then the courts backlog will soon be a thing of the past!
The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service.
I want more people to make the connections.
Can you imagine trying to learn when your classmates and their parents are disappearing? All of these kids are going to carry trauma for life.
The mixed messages about kids and tech just keep on coming
Actual human teaching is already a premium product in parts of the US (Charter schools have kids sitting in front of banks of computers overseen by an unqualified supervisor).
This is just more bullshit targeted at the poor
