Masih @AlinejadMasih is right to call out the body language. This is not mere diplomatic courtesy. It reflects a craven orientalism, blind to the social context of Iran’s gender battle and to the symbolic meaning of such gestures before a regime that polices women’s bodies.
I saw this often with some European diplomats in Iran. As I once told the president of a major US foundation, fresh from his JCPOA victory lap (after my release from nearly seven years as a hostage in Iran): fine, engage them. But you don’t have to hug them.
Big embarrassment; Look at the body language. This is the UN representative, appointed by @antonioguterres went to Iran after the massacre, bowing multiple times to the regime officials, obeying the hijab she was forced to wear, while Iranian women, ripped that same hijab off in the streets, got arrested and killed.
Western woman have all the power of the free world behind her and she bows. Iranian women nothing but courage and the stand tall without obeying a barbaric law.
they'll say, “well, it's the law of the land, you have to respect it."
Sure. Slavery was the law of the land. Apartheid was the law of the land.
Bad laws don't deserve respect. Apartheid deserves to be deleted.

Clark Gable was so (rightfully) enraged that Hattie McDaniel wouldn't be allowed to attend the Gone with the Wind premiere in Atlanta that he threatened to boycott the premiere unless she could attend. He only relented when Hattie, herself, convinced him to go.
Hattie McDaniel would, of course, go on to win the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role as Mammy.
Can anyone point me to a time where a third place candidate (3 days AFTER an election) suddenly has a surge where they start winning 1st place in every new drop by winning 40% of the votes in the batch? Try not to name a third world country. This is getting absolutely absurd.
In 2024, Democrats demanded Republican Mark Robinson drop out immediately from the NC Governor’s race over alleged decades-old comments on a porn site referring to himself as a “Black Nazi.”
Two years later, Democrats are openly embracing a guy with a Nazi tattoo, a porta-potty masturbation fetish, who sexually assaulted women, had at least 12 affairs, called the Virgin Mary a whore, and wished the Taliban would’ve killed a Purple Heart recipient.
The people of Normandy showing up for our World War II veterans! What an honor it was to be there with them today! Thank you to the Best Defense Foundation for all you do for our Greatest Generation 🙏🇺🇸
Sending ballots in the mail to people who moved out of California years ago is corrupt.
Sending ballots in the mail to people who didn’t request one is corrupt.
Sending ballots in the mail to every address someone has lived in for the past 10 years is corrupt.
Letting activists sign up mentally unstable people for a ballot by using phony addresses is corrupt.
Not letting third party law enforcement officials check the voter rolls is corrupt.
Letting one political party control the entire process for decades leads to corruption.
I’m stunned. The Sunday Times is reporting Hampshire police wanted to portray Henry Nowak as the aggressor in an official statement three days after his death, but changed their wording following outrage from his family.
I’ll be covering this shocking and contemptible revelation from the hosting chair on The Late Show Live. @GBNEWS 12am.
🚨BREAKING :In a stunning 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled parents are allowed to opt their children out of being indoctrinated with LGBTQ+ propaganda!
🚨🇬🇧 La policía ignoró a los inmigrantes que acosaban a una mujer en su casa y luego la amenazó con arrestarla por "odio racial" si denunciaba los hechos. Ahora, el hombre que lo expuso está esposado.
Una mujer fue acosada en su casa por inmigrantes. Acudió a la policía, pero no hicieron nada.
Cuando dijo que acudiría a la prensa, la amenazaron con arrestarla por "incitar al odio racial".
Un periodista ciudadano @ActivePatriotUK publicó información al respecto y fue arrestado por "comunicación maliciosa".
Lo retuvieron hasta las 11 de la noche, le confiscaron el teléfono y lo pusieron en libertad bajo fianza durante 3 meses con condiciones estrictas que no puede mencionar.
Esta es la realidad del Reino Unido hoy.
🚨BREAKING: Miguel Bosé, the biggest Spanish-language pop star of the last few decades, has just released a video taking a knee and putting his hand over his heart in honour of Henry Nowak
This has now spread like a wildfire. Europe has never been more UNITED! 🇪🇸🇬🇧
Joe Rogan: "I had Mary Talley Bowden on the podcast … She was saying that if she vaccinated … all of her patients for COVID, she'd have made $1.5 Million. That's motivation."

@StephenM Most of the FISA judges are federal judges from outside of DC, and we’re talking about warrants for the FBI to search the databases, not the Secretary of War… unless the Secretary of War is targeting America citizens… is there something you want to tell us?
After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail.
To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere. I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people.
Some in the media have spent a decade trying to manufacture drama around President Trump and people who work for him. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.
See you Monday.
