A reminder: Brad Lander told the NYT that he knows repeatedly accusing his opponent of being beholden to AIPAC (which he isn’t) invokes antisemitic tropes of Jews, money & power (& will make Jews in NYC unsafe) but he’s going to do it anyway b/c he wants to win an election. Gross

False & insidious claims that our schools teach hatred that we have let the people of #Gaza down come from those who want @UNRWA to fail. They only fuel a toxic & deeply polarized environment . unrwa.org/newsroom/official-…
Community note
This is wrong. Textbooks used by UNRWA contain pages of Israel-hatred. Problematic passages with "anti-Semitic things, calls for violence and glorification of killers." (Quote from Matthias Schmale, head of UNRWA in Gaza until 2021). n-tv.de/politik/Ex-UNR…

It's weird that leftists are into settler-colonial theory given how Marxists traditionally thought ownership of land depended upon use of it and infusion of your labor into it. "These people are making better use of the land" was an argument Marxists traditionally approved of.

The discrepancy between how the deal is being described by Iranian hardliners in Persian and what is being "leaked" to Western journalists is... interesting.
جمع بندی متن توافق: تنگه‌ی هرمز بلافاصله بدون محدودیت وعوارض، باز می‌شود رفع تحریم ها، مبهم آزادسازی پول‌های مسدود شده، مبهم منفعت ایران از صندوق ۳۰۰میلیارد دلاری، مبهم باید برای پایان جنگ مذاکره کنیم مواد هسته ای هم باید رقیق شود. آیا این متن منافع ملی را تامین می‌کند؟

This is the most harmless looking photo of two Israeli soldiers imaginable
No one seems willing to understand that what has happened and is happening has transcended any political discourse, any religious text, and any human legislation. No one seems willing to grasp that we have surpassed the limits of reason and all the calculations of logic. This image alone is enough to kill your hope for the next 100 years...

This image does not demonstrate a war crime. It does demonstrate maybe some immaturity of the two soldiers in the picture.

“Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work.” Yes, and she did this before joining ODNI and again on her way out the door, which should probably tell you where she’ll wind up next. Senators who voted to confirm her should think on their sins.
EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To “Resign” As DNI 🚨 In her “Ukrainian Bio lab” document “declassification” release this week, I’ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government. Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbard’s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda. Here’s the evidence: Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.… Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the US’s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do. Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government. Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022. Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies. Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week. Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/up… Gabbard’s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine. Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research. But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act. My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond. I look forward to reading the emails. The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration. Nice to know ODNI gets their “intel” and their graphics from Russian intelligence. See photographic evidence below 👇🏻

(Reuters) - As pro-government night rallies continued across Iran for more than 100 nights, residents and news agencies reported slogans being chanted by opponents of the agreement with the United States. A resident in the northeastern city of Mashhad told Reuters in Dubai that some protesters chanted: "Death to the compromiser," in an apparent reference to Foreign Minister Araqchi. "Compromiser, resign, resign"

What’s happening in Iran right now? The most hardline elements of the Paydari Front, including figures close to Saeed Jalili such as Hamid Rasaei, Mahmoud Nabavian, and Amir-Hossein Sabeti, are strongly opposed to the proposed deal with the US and view it as a betrayal of Iran’s interests. They argue that the negotiating team, particularly Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, has crossed Iran’s red lines and made excessive concessions, especially in the aftermath of the assassination of key political and military leaders. Several hardline figures have publicly demanded the resignation of members of the negotiating team, accusing them of surrendering strategic leverage in exchange for a weak deal. Among the more radical voices, some have gone even further, promoting conspiracy theories that the new Supreme Leader is effectively being controlled or “held captive” by those pushing for negotiations. These factions are now attempting to mobilize their supporters, increase public pressure, and use every available political tool to block, delay, or undermine any potential agreement.

After all the noise on social media, here is the bottom line: We are entering a 60-day period in which: • Iran can continue selling oil • The Strait of Hormuz remains open to all parties • No fighting is expected on any front, while Israel retains the right to defend itself if attacked • Iran will receive credit from its frozen funds to purchase humanitarian goods What happens after 60 days? Only Trump decides.

You are only permitted to see what we choose to show you, comrade. ☭
Not content to controlling our economy and our political system, the Oligarchs are now consolidating control over the media. Trump’s ally David Ellison is poised to control both CBS and CNN. Not acceptable. This merger must be opposed.
