Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Obama is giving a truly inspirational eulogy at Jesse Jackson's celebration of life.

It's Shakespearean. Supreme. @barackobama.bsky.social

We are sick of waking up every day & listening to your demented administration spout utter garbage.

It's getting rather tedious.

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didnโ€™t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

Absolutely essential. And Starmer should back it without reservation as Labour has the most to lose. It would also act as a firebreak to stop Tories just turning their coats inside out and joining reform.
Yes, you might lose an MP, but you may also stop the enemy gaining one.

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ is in many ways already a non-voting ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

The Iranian Navy warship IRIS Dena had just left the Indian MILAN 2026 naval exercises after it's completion. The condition for taking part was that the ships were unarmed.
The US torpedoed it anyway and, against the international law of the sea, did not assist in the rescue mission.
