The US and Israel conduct illegal and unprovoked strikes against Iran. Iran then retaliates.
The response of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer?
* Condemn Iran.
* Calls on Iran to return to the negotiating table (where they were when they were attacked)
• The aim of this negotiation is to sign a deal which Iran was already a signatory to but was cancelled by Donald Trump
Yet somehow this is all the fault of Iran.
Barack Obama reached a 2015 Iran nuclear deal. The deal required the most intrusive inspection regime ever negotiated, allowing 24/7 access to sites.
Trump ripped up that deal in 2018.
Today, we're at war with Iran to prevent it from getting nuclear weapons.
Trump voters did this to the United States--both in 2016 and 2024.

Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"
The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc
Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!

Now, more than ever, citizens must be able to hold those in power accountable and inspire others through the act of protest. Protecting your electronic devices and digital assets before, during,...
Friendly reminder that Signal—while maybe not perfect—is a much better choice for communication than RCS, especially if you are communicating anything sensitive. Doubly true if you are on iOS or communicating with anyone who is, as Apple still does not even use end-to-end encryption for RCS like Google does on Android.
Nu deelnemen aan een sportevenement alsof er niets aan de hand is, legitimeert Trumps expansieve politiek. Laat ons land en onze voetballers aan de goede kant van de geschiedenis staan. Hou onze jongens thuis. Deze campagne is gestart nav een column in Vrij Nederland, zie de link hieronder.
Dear Fedi friends, some good news:
Today I learned from @liaizon that the Parisian art space @palaisdetokyo is on the fediverse.
I was curious about the server it's hosted on, so I checked it out and more good news: there are several cultural institutions on it.
Turns out, it's an initiative by the French Ministry of Culture: a Mastodon server to share "cultural news in a way that is freer, open and independent" (their words)!
THANK YOU @cercle for being here!
