French President Macron:

“France did not choose this Iran war. We are not taking part in it. Nobody can force us.”

Nobody can force us.

This is not a diplomatic abstention.

This is France — founding NATO member, America’s oldest ally, the country that helped birth American democracy — telling Trump and Netanyahu directly: you are alone in this.

France: officially out.

Germany: no.

Norway: no.

Canada: never.

Japan: officially no.

Australia: officially no.

UK: not our war.

Switzerland: airspace closed.

Macron: nobody can force us.

Trump threatened NATO with a “very bad future.”
Macron just answered.

Trump gets less than 1% of US oil through the Strait he mined.

He asked the world to reopen it.

The world keeps walking away.

$21 billion spent. 14 Americans dead. Oil at $102. Cuba dark. Taiwan surrounded. Zero allied warships.

Nobody can force us.

Never stop connecting the dots.

Carpet bombing densely populated civilian areas while invoking "hidden military targets" is humanitarian camouflage, and it is criminal.
In Gaza. Lebanon. Tehran.

The Trump administration has offered varying explanations for why it's at war with Iran. Here's 3 minutes on the different statements we've heard. https://t.co/Cm00jsXPdX

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Reminding everyone that the only nation with nuclear weapons in the region is Israel.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Netanyahu wanted billions to flatten Gaza. He got it.

Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump just gave it to him.

American foreign and military policy must be determined by the American people.

Not the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.

The polls suggest the British press is seriously out of sync with how most ordinary decent people regard Israel and America’s ‘war on a whim.’

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

As I wrote yesterday, the Palace’s sticking to “never complain, never explain” will damn them in the end and is one of the reasons they’re in this mess. It was always arrogant. For the institution, it’s now potentially suicidal.

It remains stunning, that throughout all of this, the Royal Family have never confirmed who exactly paid for the payoff nor why, exactly, they stripped Andrew of his titles. Parliament hasn’t thought to ask either.

@ShabanaMahmood The DRC? Must be safe now then.

[Tracy Jones🍃💚🍃 @betulaag]

@ShabanaMahmood Govt gets upset when a few planes get damaged but seemingly not so when thousands of children are murdered.

Americans. The BBC is the world's most respected broadcaster. @BBCRosAtkins is its most respected "fact checker". Here he analyses, frame by frame, what happened

ICE removed Alex Pretti's gun, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 shot him - 10 times in 5 seconds. Your government is lying to you👇

Reform have gained one of the greatest minds of all time and this timeless classic is now all theirs.

It is simply impossible that people this stupid should be allowed to govern, no matter which party they run off to when they’ve destroyed their own.

Prince William. Environmental hypocrite. #AbolishTheMonarchy

In honour of @SuellaBraverman defecting to Reform UK today

Only seems fair to revisit this glorious moment…..👇🏼

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.

You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Best join the Greens!

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I have today written to the Chair of Labour’s National Executive Committee seeking permission to enter the selection process for a candidate for the forthcoming Gorton and Denton by-election.

BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.

Please share this far and wide...

"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.

"Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman."

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed."

"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.

“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”

Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.

Please like and share.
