Some of you may be considering sitting this election out, or voting for a third-party candidate, because you strongly disagree with Kamala Harris about Gaza.
This thread is for you 🧵
1/When I protested against mandatory hijab, after the security forces arrested me, my family was pressured to declare me mentally ill, the Islamic republic of Iran even taking me to a forensic doctor. One of my relatives came to see me in prison and shared the situation.
7/8 The only way to ensure Trump doesn’t get near the White House again is to vote on Tuesday. Americans should remove that criminal and close this dark chapter in US history. Future generations of America deserve better.
6/8 The fact that Putin is doing everything possible and spending significant money to get Trump elected should be enough for people to recognize that Trump is a traitor who would threaten US interests. Putin despises the US.
1/8 Sending the wrong message to future generations: do you want to teach American children that a convicted felon, cheater, racist, and pathological liar who despises democracy and feels no remorse can still become president?
I voted for my daughter.
I voted for my son.
I voted for their futures and for our freedom.
I voted to preserve this democracy.
I voted because Joe Biden gave up so much to get us here.
I proudly voted for Kamala Harris.
We are not going back.
Wisconsin, your vote will make all the difference in this election. I’m asking you to reach out to your friends, parents, siblings, neighbors, and work with them to make a plan to vote.
Two days – that’s all the time we have left until Election Day. Let’s get this done!
How in Gods name does Cheneys endorsement mean that Harris supports military interventions like Iraq? Thats is so illogical. Remember it was Barack Obama that was against that war in 2002 when most Republicans supported that war! That was your war, GOP, not the Democratic Party’s.
Is Russia a Threat to NATO?
The answer is: Russia is not an immediate threat because Ukraine has chosen to fight them. If Ukraine had welcomed Russia, as Putin expected, and joined forces, EU politicians would be changing their diapers by now.

The end of NATO and Europe: that's how it could be.
“If the United States, Germany, France and the United Kingdom allow Ukraine to lose to the russians, Estonia must be ready for war,” said Ben Hodges, former commander of US ground forces in Europe
In this case, russia will force tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers to fight on its side, will take possession of Ukrainian military equipment and in a few years will restore the reserves of its army.
The increase in russian defense spending indicates that russia is expecting a war that will last beyond next year, the head of Estonia's military intelligence service said.
Military experts assume that the complete annexation of the Baltic states is not the number one threat scenario. The most likely scenario is an attempt to conquer a smaller territory in order to take thousands of people hostage. This would sow fear in societies and divide the NATO allies into several camps when it comes to the question of which military response should be considered proportionate.
Ben Hodges expresses the same. “I don't think russia has territorial ambitions beyond the borders of the Baltic states and possibly parts of Poland. Their real aim would be to destroy NATO: to show that the alliance and its members are not really prepared to come to the aid of any country. You can imagine a hypothetical scenario in which russian troops invade Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia, occupy part of it and then stop and ask: “Do you really want to start a nuclear war over this?” And if the answer is no, that would be the end of Article 5 of NATO,” claims Hodges.
I think this scenario is realistic. putin would brutally exploit the weaknesses of Western democracies: hesitation, fear of red lines, differing ideas, consideration for voters.
In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful reminder of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. Yes we use our bodies like weapons to fight back a regime that kills women for showing their hair.
This happened at Tehran’s Science and Research University She has since been arrested by the authorities.
Be her voice.

"I am deeply worried about a second Trump presidency, both because of what he might want to do intentionally and because of what his signaling of weakness might provoke unintentionally. When it comes to rhetoric versus reality I think we have to take him at his word." THREAD 1/
Mr. Trump has promised to deport millions of immigrants. He pledged, “Immediately upon taking office, I will launch the largest deportation in American history.” Executing this campaign pledge, even attempting to do so, will have catastrophic consequences for our economy. 1/ THREAD
