Postcards From Protest

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change. bbc.com/future/article…

@Iromg No they aren't. It's possible to criticise the regime AND criticise Israel and the USA for their ill thought out attack at the same time. What is the end game when the regime will remain in place?

This is who the left are defending…

@aNHsnowbird @ace_afire @Osint613 Well to be fair, some people 'were' just being plucked off the street. Something to do with bonuses being paid for numbers arrested. Bovine meanwhile, has been put out to pasture. It shouldn't have taken the deaths of two people to bring about that shift though.

@ace_afire @Osint613 Yes, it’s a needed shift considering much of the public thinks ppl are just being plucked off the sidewalk to be deported and has no idea the number of serious criminals they are actually going after. Yes! Need a PR push to highlight the worst of the worst

NEW: U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to lower the profile of his mass deportation effort, and has directed his top advisers to adopt a new approach on one of his central campaign promises, WSJ reported on Thursday night. In conversations with top advisers and his wife Melania, Trump has become convinced that some of his administration’s deportation policies have gone too far, and voters don’t like the term “mass deportation.” The president has told them he wants to see more attention on arresting “bad guys” and less chaos in American cities. At this time, there is no official word from the Trump administration on the Wall Street Journal report.

@simonwu @AMAZlNGNATURE Nah, it's a domesticated one. Hippos are very social creatures and in a zoo are more likely to be domesticated. That's why the enclosure isn't fenced off with a mile high fence.

@AMAZlNGNATURE That guard is literally lucky that hippo is primary herbivore and probably had lunch. Or the Hippo would had ate him.

Security Guard risk his life to save incredibly unalarmed zoo visitors from a hippo in India

@AxoAndy @Ofcom GBNews have replaced Russia Today essentially.

@Ofcom When will you grow a backbone and revoke GB News license?

We've fined 4chan £450,000 for not having age checks in place to prevent children seeing porn on its site. The Online Safety Act is concerned with protecting people in the UK. It doesn't require platforms to restrict what people in other countries see. 🔗ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/…

@Taggyboy14 @VoicesUnheard @disclosetv 2/ And you are wrong abut those allies in the ME. They are already rethinking the billions of dollars of investment they have in the US. Iran is attacking their oil/ gas infrastructre deliberately of course, knowing that would be the effect.

@PostFromProtest @VoicesUnheard @disclosetv Trump has support in the middle east...none are coming to help the regime or cause chaos...Trump made a brilliant move creating the Board of Peace and exposing Europe as pretend allies.

NOW - Hegseth confirms the Pentagon is seeking about $200,000,000,000 billion for the Iran War: "It takes money to kill bad guys."

@Taggyboy14 @VoicesUnheard @disclosetv Answer the question. How is the regime in Iran going to be overthrown? By who and how? Bear in mind also that Russia and China are allies of the Iranian regime and will keep it stocked with munitions.

@vulture80 @implausibleblog This will be an attack point for the other parties at the next GE, and hopefully it lands with some who were considereing voting for Reform.

@implausibleblog reform would transfer the payment of NHS treatment from the state to private insurance companies who will then push up prices as high as they want. They will obviously cut in the reform stooges in on this deal. for low-income families that can't afford it- die at home please

Reform UK's James Orr says the NHS will be free at the point of use What he doesn't tell you is that Nigel Farage has advocated for an insurance based NHS That means, as the UK taxpayer will pay more for the same services, even if the NHS is 'free at the point of use' When Fiona Bruce asks him to explain this, he waffles Exposed and humiliated on #BBCQT

@Taggyboy14 @VoicesUnheard @disclosetv How?

@PostFromProtest @VoicesUnheard @disclosetv Impossible?Its going to happen...this evil regime is going down.

@gesticart @BohuslavskaKate Exactly. Weapons have sell by dates. If the US is understocked, that is down to various US adminstrations.

That’s a lie. We sent Ukraine weapons that were expired, we’re on the block to be destroyed. The HIMARS were so old they had to be checked to see if they even worked anymore. Others were WW2 vintage howitzers. Hegseth is a lier. Buts worse than the actual lie is that he’s in charge of our military, we are stuck in a really bad mess in Iran with Israel doing whatever they want, and this clown blaming Biden. It’s him, what he is, how out of touch and unqualified he is. It’s him demonstrating that every time he opens his mouth. It’s really scary.

Hegseth: "We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created—depleting our stockpiles and sending them to Ukraine instead of our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to 'Well, sent it to Ukraine.'" It looks like they’re just going to blame Ukraine whenever anything goes wrong now, doesn’t it? It’s depressing to watch because while this administration will eventually leave office, a segment of Americans will keep hating Ukraine without even remembering why.

@BohuslavskaKate Stockpiles have sell by dates and eventually have to be replaced anyway. It's old stock being sent to Ukraine and Hegseth is being disingenuous here.

@IAMRYT36 @RepMikeLevin Well that's a lie. In total, Ukraine has received assistance to the tune of $174 billion in total, accross the last three years from the USA. More than that has been spent in three weeks attacking Iran. Get some damn perspective!

@RepMikeLevin $400 billion Biden gave to Ukraine. No briefing no strategy and most of it went into the pockets of corrupt Ukrainians. NOW that's a real insult to the American people.

$200 billion. No briefing, strategy, or end game. No respect for Congress. I sit on the Appropriations Committee. I have received zero justification. Hegseth’s entire case to the American people is “it takes money to kill bad guys.” That’s an insult. To Congress and the Constitution. And most of all, to the men and women putting their lives on the line right now. Our service members are the best this country has. They are brave, skilled, and they deserve leadership worthy of their sacrifice. They deserve a clear mission. A defined objective. A strategy that someone in this administration has actually thought through. They are not props for a policy that nobody can consistently explain. Yes, a nuclear-armed Iran is a threat. I believe that. But how we confront that threat matters. The path we take matters. The cost in lives and dollars matters. And who gets to weigh in on all of that matters. That’s not weakness. That’s the Constitution. First the reports were $50 billion. Then $100 billion. Now $200 billion. With no breakdown, no timeline, no accountability. Where the hell are my Republican House colleagues? Collins and Murkowski are asking questions in the Senate. The House is silent. That silence is a dereliction of duty. We are a co-equal branch of government. The power of the purse is ours. This is not a technicality. It is the last line of defense against exactly this kind of reckless blank-check governance. Our troops deserve better. The American people deserve better. nytimes.com/2026/03/19/wor…

@RepMikeLevin Well said, especially this 👉'Yes, a nuclear-armed Iran is a threat. I believe that. But how we confront that threat matters. The path we take matters. The cost in lives and dollars matters. And who gets to weigh in on all of that matters.'

@Taggyboy14 @VoicesUnheard @disclosetv I suggest you learn something about Iran and why that regime is so hard to remove. You might want to read the community notes to that video too.

@PostFromProtest @VoicesUnheard @disclosetv x.com/i/status/20288… When i said stfu,that wasnt me talking...I was just passing on the message.

@Taggyboy14 @VoicesUnheard @disclosetv 25% of the population support the regime. That's why it's impossible to overthrow, without a bloodbath of a civil war. Bear in mind that only the regime has arms and yes, they rule with an iron fist.

@PostFromProtest @VoicesUnheard @disclosetv You are being lied to if you believe only 25% support it.

@miscellany101 @FurkanGozukara It makes me think back to that dressing down of Zelensky at the Oval Office, when Trump accused him of 'risking WW3'. Oh the irony now!

@FurkanGozukara Witcoff doesn't even have a government clearance and no experience vetting national security threats, yet his voice is the one that's determined the fate of world markets and human lives. This what you voted for America? #goobsmacked #bamboozled

Absolute insanity. A CNN panel reveals the ONLY source claiming Iran was building 11 nukes was Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer with zero intelligence background. The actual DNI testified the exact opposite. They started a war based on a developer's lie!

@FurkanGozukara This is what happens when ideologues get into power. Decisions become based on 'opinions' and 'feelings'. Experts, evidence and facts are seen as the enemy if they get in the way of those 'opinions'. It's how an antivax nutcase ends up in charge of health policy. Wake up America!

@OunkaOnX This has been Netanyahu's wish for at least two decades. Meanwhile, the land grab in the West Bank continues. On the other hand, Iran does fund groups that are idologically opposed to the existent of Israel. So what's the answer?

Qatar's PM: "This war needs to stop immediately. Everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is." Qatar's PM told the world, this war serves someone's interests. And that someone is not in Tehran, Washington, or Doha — it's in Tel Aviv.

@Bubblebathgirl @atrupar No it isn't, but then again, you've never spent any time in Europe have you?

@atrupar Europe is falling to invasion from illegals. They’re giving up to invaders. Sad to see.

Hegseth: "Our ungrateful allies in Europe, even segments of our own press, should be saying one thing to President Trump -- 'Thank you. Thank you for the courage to stop this terror stage from holding the world hostage while building or attempting to build a nuclear bomb.'"

@atrupar This just gets tedious now doesn't it? The Trump administration has repeatedly caused voloatility on the markets, is making everyone poorer (aparts from themselves of course), repeatedly insults allies, and right now, feels like the biggest threat to global security!

@Gypsypup13 @QuantumCipheria @Radish656 @SenJohnKennedy He doesnt even understand his own screenshot 😅

@QuantumCipheria @PostFromProtest @Radish656 @SenJohnKennedy Omg you people are bonkers.

Prime Minister Starmer wants to give President Trump advice about our fight with Iran. That’s like taking advice from a nun about sex.
