Universal Healthcare was not invented by Bernie Sanders. Bernie fans need to stop saying that. Here is Hillary proposing it in 1993, Bernie Sanders never fully supported it in 1993.

3. The Shah on leaving Iran
"I left because I thought my presence was being used as a pretext for the violence... I told myself: 'If the people truly do not want me, then I shall go.' I hoped my departure would bring peace, but instead, it opened the gates to a reign of terror"
Why the Shah was an amazing man. In his final memoir, he clarifies his refusal to use the full weight of the Imperial Army against the protesters:
"A king cannot be a dictator, and a throne cannot be based on blood."

2. The Shah directly addressed why he didn't stay to fight a civil war:
"How could I have stayed? To stay, I would have had to act like a dictator, and that I could not do... I did not want to save my throne at the price of my people's blood."

But as a Persian whose family and ancestry are rooted in that soil, today is not about American politics. It is about the end of a 47-year occupation. #IranWar
I am a leftist who was born in the United States to Iranians who fled The Islamic Republic of Iran. I can hate the gardener and still be glad the weeds choking my family’s garden are finally gone. #IranWar
I know it is shocking to see me, a lifelong leftist, celebrating a military strike ordered by Trump and carried out with Israel. I get it. I’ve spent years criticizing the domestic policies of this administration. #IranWar
@ZelenskyyUa This American is on your side, this American thinks of you as a hero. I apologize on behalf of my country for how poorly you were treated today. Donald Trump doesn't speak for me, he is a felon and should be thanking you for giving him the time of day.
@WhiteHouse Fact 350 Billion is incorrect, 183 Billion is the correct number. The only people in this room who are WRONG is @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance. President #Zelensky, he's the EXAMPLE of a RESPECTED President. You WISH you could have an ounce of the courage and respect #Zelensky has
@WhiteHouse Fuck off @realDonaldTrump@VP@WhiteHouse. You HAVE NO RIGHT TO talk to President #Zelensky that way. He is the definition of a real man, a hero who stood by his country when all odds were stacked against him. You are the villains and will be remembered as such in history.
@WhiteHouse You are the most vile corrupt people in American history. Cuckold Vance and beta Trump telling a wartime President who is a HERO, to be thankful for American support. #Zelensky shouldn't thank these fools, he is thankful to President Biden. You are an EMBARRASSMENT @POTUS
