After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
Watch Iranian star filmmaker Jafar Panahi with @jonstewart in one of the most moving conversations on the power of art and resistance, even from jail.
Panahi is promoting his Oscar-nominated film, "It Was Just an Accident".

Un informante que el FBI consideraba confiable y que fue representado por el abogado de Epstein, Alan Desrshowitz, reportó que Epstein trabajaba para la inteligencia israelí y que tenían a Trump bajo su control, según un documento confidencial incluido en la publicación que el Departamento de Justicia hizo hoy: https://t.co/C29s7pFQpq
As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison corporations making bank off his deportation agenda.
Trump has unleashed billions of dollars worth of funding for these companies while offering them "no-bid" contracts.
Cashing in on cruelty.
The media’s continued indifference to the massive under death count of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the genocidal Netanyahu—embraced for the 5th time this year at the White House—by Dictator Trump. The total death count coming from the most intense bombardment and starvation (food, water, medicine and healthcare) of a human population in military history in the tiny enclave is not nearly 70,000. It’s about 600,000—or slightly over a quarter of the civilian population.
What other ethnic group would be treated with such indifference or ignorance or bias? Especially a devastated population, with the heaviest casualties among babies and children, by U.S.-made weapons. -R
En la Franja de Gaza, otra bebé palestina murió a causa del frío y la lluvia, así como por la falta de un refugio adecuado. Por otra parte, las Naciones Unidas han informado que un niño palestino se ahogó en las inundaciones que azotaron el campamento de tiendas de campaña donde vivía su familia.
Mientras tanto, el 1 de enero, Israel implementó su prohibición de acceso a la Franja de Gaza para 37 organizaciones no gubernamentales internacionales, incluida Médicos Sin Fronteras. Organizaciones de ayuda humanitaria, las Naciones Unidas y al menos diez ministros de Relaciones Exteriores han condenado la medida y han advertido que esta exacerbará la ya catastrófica crisis humanitaria que azota Gaza.
Venice Bakery is remembering those that have died in ICE custody this year by adding them to their community altar for Dia de Muertos.

WOW!
New Report: The US has paid $21.7 billion (!!) since Oct 7 to help fuel Israel's slaughter in Gaza!

The mainstream journalists refuse to do the investigative work with available evidence both empirical and clinical that point to a death toll of about 600,000, or far more than the number of U.S. soldiers killed in WWII.
With a TNT equivalent of seven Hiroshima bombs delivered by the Israelis on 2.3 million totally defenseless and homeless and starving and sick people, 600,000 would still leave almost 3 out of 4 Palestinians alive which itself is improbable.
Hind Rajab's mother endured the unimaginable. A mother from Gaza, she listened helplessly as her daughter was murdered over the phone. Imagine being in her place. As a parent, something like this changes you forever. No one should ever have to experience this. All children are the same.
