Tell me again how this is to free the Iranian people.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Now the US & the Israelis have severely damaged the spectacular Chehel Sotoon in Isfahan. These are images from my last visit

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

This is important.

The government is desperately churning out false promises to con MPs into voting to remove juries.

There is not a shred of evidence that removing juries will make the difference that the government claims.

Don’t let them lie to you.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

Pope Leo XIV’s Vatican newspaper is the only publication in the Western world to run the photograph of 150 Iranian girls' graves — killed in President Trump's military strikes — on its front page.

[Ori Goldberg @ori_goldberg]

Reports are emerging regarding the surprise of the Trump WH. They did not expect the war in Iran. They thought it would be a Venezuela. They thought Israel would toe the line to do America's bidding. It is infuriating to think of so many lives lost to egotistical stupidity.

[Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola @Frances_Coppola]

Meticulously researched and utterly harrowing descriptions of over 500 villages ethnically cleansed and destroyed by Jewish paramilitaries and the IDF in 1948.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

This list is very important as it shows the many ways in which Trump has helped Putin

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

This is a war crime. It’s all war crimes. Something that none of the normie UK commentators are commenting on

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Nothing to see here, just the UN saying Israel has displaced 700,000 people in Lebanon. 700,000 in 10 days.

Why would this be newsworthy?

[Sam Greene @samagreene]

I study authoritarianism for a living, so I do not say this lightly: America isn't facing an authoritarian future. America is living an authoritarian present.

Worse… we would become a vassal state.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

You keep your life only at the regime's discretion is as clear as could be. I remember pointing out the difference between officially sanctioned police brutality in Russia versus George Floyd, where the officer had a fair trial and was jailed. The WH reaction here is Russian.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

This is what Brexit was all about - getting our sovereignty back so we could beg unelected foreigners to take action against our democratically elected government, in order to keep producing child porn.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

He used to be a human rights lawyer.

Now @keir_starmer is an apologist for a far-right US President trashing international law.

He's in the gutter, but he's still got further to sink.

[Agnes Callamard @AgnesCallamard]

Yes indeed. The US is destroying world order.
And so did Israel for the last two years. With Germany support.

German and other European leaders cannot suddenly discover that the rule-based order is on its knee when they have governed over its demise for the last two years.

Complicity, tacit agreement, appeasement, silence: these have a cost. A high cost.
And you/we will all end up paying for it.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The Gestapo in Nazi Germany started with Communists, then they moved onto Disabled People, Trade Unionists, the Roma, the Jews, the Socialists, LGBT, people who wouldn't join the Germany Army...

It will be the same in the USA with their ICE Gestapo.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Congrats to David Lammy for his part in UK government’s ongoing efforts to normalise fascism.

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

The US stands alone in dismissing the problem of climate change.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING!!
Israel's unlawful occupation is bombing Gaza again! Dozens of civilians killed, including children.
With most journalists killed/humanitarians blocked, Israel advances its genocidal violence UNNOTICED, aimed solely at forcing Palestinians out.
The shame of the century.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

This is rather dramatic but lost in the general media turmoil over everything else - 🇺🇸 is withdrawing from 66 international organizations and treaties, most notably everything connected with climate change, democracy and rule of law.
