Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the war’s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

Always unlimited money for war.

Trump is insulting all those, including British families, worried about his illegal war driving up their energy bills.

Enough is enough. Keir Starmer must show Trump the UK won’t be pushed around and call off the King’s state visit.

Tories back Trump.
Reform back Trump.
Labour are being bullied to let them use our bases.
Lib Dem’s against backing Trump.
The Green Party against backing Trump.
Unsure of other party views on Trump?

A reminder that only weeks ago he threatened to invade a NATO protected country!

Six years on, children living with #LongCovid are still fighting to be recognised.

Today we stand with #children and #youngpeople around the world living with Long Covid.
This movement began with #families.
With children.

Covid is the TB of the 21st century. One of my friends died from long covid she wasn’t even middle aged. Our government is failing to act.

CPAC Head Says Iranian Schoolgirls Are Better Dead Than β€œin a Burqa” Leading Republicans don’t seem to care about the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran.

Disabled people tried to warn you.

We said the β€œbetter off dead” narrative being weaponized against us would be used for other groups of people.

The fascists won’t ever stop. They see everyone else as less than. Expendable. Not worthy of life.

Its eugenics on a massive scale

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Watching that doc about John Cantile - the journalist capture by IS in Syria.. and it reminded me of all the wars, all the killing, all the refugees and the vast instability unleashed by the invasion of Iraq. It is MIND BLOWING how gung ho the media is around Iran in its blind obedience to the US.

Oh my fucking god. We need hearings on this. MONDAY. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social This cannot continue. Defund. Abolish. Prosecute. This cannot be allowed to continue, and we will hold YOU accountable if you don't stop it. ICE and CBP are a gang of sociopaths. Stop enabling it!

Omg, how awful does the king look, after two (?) Covid infections and his cancer diagnosis? He looks terrible.

The biggest scandal of all is that we still have the Tory guidance in place and staff still have no ffp3 respirators for an airborne virus that is vascular in nature and can cause heart damage & blood clots.

It really burns me up how schools treat sick absences as a moral failure. Eugenics is so baked into our society that it is basically invisible to people who are healthy.

Besides, schools with their poorly ventilated classrooms are the primary culprit. The problem isn’t the children.

As I paid, the cashier stared
at my mask and saidβ€¨β€œI’ve been thinking
about wearing one of those,”
and when I said β€œyeah?”
she replied β€œeveryone
who works here
gets sick all the time,” 
and I wanted to say
β€œit’s like that at my job too,”
and so, that is what I said.
