The World is watching the US use the language of genocide.
YES, this is the language of genocide!
To prove it we bombed an elementary school, executing 180 innocent Iranian children.
We are now telling a country of 90+ million people, who have nothing to do with their government, that they are next.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

Several years from now, a thoughtful scholar will write a book called β€œTrump’s Willing Executioners” about how a nation of 340 million descended into abject depravity.

The purple flowers are hellebores but I didn’t recognise the pale lemon ones as a variety of narcissi! #Spring #Flowers

Can anyone identify these pretty Spring flowers ? They look like mini Iris but surely it’s a little too early?

The house at Hidcote. The gardens were created by American-born horticulturalist Lawrence Johnston from 1907. Much influenced by Thomas Mawson and Gertrude Jekyll Arts and Crafts style garden design #ArtsandCrafts Given to the National Trust in 1948. #Gardens

The Bathing Pool at Hidcote - too chilly to even think about removing clothing !! The denuded trees are yew trees that used to be clipped into bird shapes. Now cut right back to encourage new growth. #Spring #Gardens

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americansβ€”and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for itβ€”was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.

A potato seller in Iran tells his customers that, due to the war, he will give potatoes for free to those in need.

I am overwhelmed with pride at the resilience, dignity, and generosity of my compatriots.

Long Live Iran.

We walk around that area. Deserted village of Wolfhampcote and lovely church which sometimes holds concerts.
