Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants.
We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment. As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.
The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....
Trump and Israel killed Dr. Saeed Shamghadari in Tehran today
They bombed his home, killing him and his children
He was a professor of electrical engineering at Iran University of Science and Technology
They obliterated an entire neighborhood to assassinate a civilian academic
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.
They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.
Now the rapists are free.
This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!

The attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States are illegal, unprovoked and unjustifiable.
Peace and diplomacy was possible. Instead, Israel and the United States chose war.
This is the behaviour of rogue states — and they have jeopardised the safety of humankind around the world with this catastrophic act of aggression.
Our government must condemn this flagrant breach of international law, and urgently pursue a foreign policy based on justice, sovereignty and peace.
The governments of the US and Europe that teach democracy and human and animal rights to the third world have funded and supported this. What a lesson.
“This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly. Yet it’s not. It is this world. And what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras. One that casts a stain on humanity that will endure for generations.”

🚨BREAKING: A little Palestinian child had his arm completely amputated in the Israeli airstrike that hit the Cairo School in Gaza City.
Famine is not easily organized.
It takes planning.
It takes vision.
It takes a complicit international media that constantly tells viewers not to believe their eyes.
It takes a coalition of Western states that protect Israel politically while it meticulously assembles the building blocks of mass murder.
It takes vetoes in the UN Security Council that ensure that murderous plans aren't disrupted.
It takes talking heads in Western media who systematically dehumanize Palestinians.
It takes New York Times headline writers who make readers believe that no one really knows who is committing genocide, who is bombing refugees, who is orchestrating the famine. Do we really know conclusively that it isn't the Martians?
It takes Members of Congress who blame infants that were born 4 months ago for the events of October 7, 2023.
It takes European leaders who are willing to sacrifice their own democracy and the human rights of their own people for the sake of Israel starving Palestinian babies to death.
It takes an American Military Industrial Complex that can produce bombs as fast as Israel can kill toddlers.
It takes cowardly University professors who value donors more than students and profit more than education.
It takes American Presidents who put Israel before America.
Having already killed or wounded 200,000 Palestinians, the extremist Israeli government is using mass starvation to engineer the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Despite these crimes, the US has provided $22 billion to Israeli military operations since the war began.
Enough is enough.
I have never felt so shaken.
Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch.
How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation campaign?
PS: Talking politics while dodging genocide perfectly meets the definition of doing nothing.
Happening now in Tel Aviv: we march with the pictures of the children in Gaza who were starved to death by our government and our army. We cannot accept it. We call people to refuse the starvation, to refuse the killing, to refuse the annihilation.
