In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

BBC talking about 168 'people' being killed at the school in Minab, Iran. Why the change. The strikes on the school killed over 160 children. That's children

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

Am I suggesting that anything as coherent as this was in Trump's mind when he decided to go ahead? No. Am I suggesting that this is bound to happen? Again, no. It is possible that Iran will remain highly unstable for a long time. Alternatively, the war might just go on, causing spikes in energy price and inflation at a time of financial fragility.

Yet, when considering this administration, the best bet is the most cynical. Whether Trump planned it or not, he might have created the conditions for a deal with those who control Iran's levers of power. Such a deal would be acceptable to its neighbours, who do not want a democratic Iran. US power would have been demonstrated. Europe and China would have been discomforted. Iran's rulers (and the Trump family) would be richer. What would be not to like about all of this, at least for Trump?

Trump was hosting a fund raiser at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, as the U.S. offensive began. The NYT reported last year that tickets for the dinner dance were $1M apiece. The optics of Trump partying while US soldiers died is partly what is behind the fact that today, #SendBarron trended on social media.

Defensive don't you know. The level of apparent ignorance of history is astounding. Either that or it's manufacturing war for whatever reason they can persuade themselves of. This is such a bad move. Obsequious to power

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

The British are now involved. We are watching the manufacturing of war by irresponsible men. Disappointing that Starmer has joined their number.

There are cowards in Europe & Jordan & Bahrain & UAE. Simpering cowards who will, by their actions have the rest of us reap what they sow. We see the hypocrisy & the imperialism. Dangerous games

Historic by-election win indicates Green Party could win over a hundred seats at next General Election - Green Party Greens are on track to win over a hundred seats at the next general election, if the historic swing achieved to win Gorton and Denton is replicated nationwide.

I have a theory based on recent polling and this result. It's no longer about left or right. The young ones are voting what they believe to be right or wrong. So long as the established parties keep thinking the other way they will keep losing.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
