"چرا تیم‌های آفریقایی و خاورمیانه‌ای باید جواب کارهای دولت‌هاشون رو بدن، ولی تیم‌های اروپایی نه؟
دم تیم ایران گرم؛ اومدن فقط فوتبال بازی کنن. هر روز برای بازی پرواز می‌کردن، هر بار هم ساعت‌ها توی گمرک و بازرسی معطل می‌شدن، ولی با احترام رفتار کردن و کاملاً حرفه‌ای و منصفانه بازی کردن.
با این حال، بعد از هر بازی به‌جای اینکه درباره فوتبال ازشون سؤال کنن، مدام می‌خواستن بکشنشون وسط بحث‌های سیاسی؛ مثلاً می‌پرسیدن نظرت درباره اتفاقات تنگه هرمز چیه. خب طرف هم می‌گه: داداش، من فوتبالیستم، نه سیاستمدار."

The Mexican people love them. So happy to see them having fun 🔥

Hezbollah does not have an underground tunnel system in Southern Lebanon. There has never been any evidence of one presented.
I investigated in Lebanon for five months, spoke with all kinds of people including Hezbollah opponents, and nobody ever claimed it.

On Friday at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, a new exhibit “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present” was debuted, and its now open to the public.

Palestinian voices have been silenced for too long. Their stories, their lived experiences – their struggles –

Mamdani announces $122 million to hire 1,000 more teachers in 2027. This must be why they say socialism is so horrible. Tax dollars go to the schools instead of endless foreign wars.

The UN says the occupied West Bank is facing its worst displacement crisis since 1967.

A Security Council meeting exposed divisions, with most members focusing on illegal Israeli settlements and rising settler violence, while the US shifted attention to Gaza and Hamas.

"Saya sangat kecewa dengan AS dan FIFA. Mereka tahu AS akan melakukan hal ini kepada Iran, jadi mereka seharusnya tidak menjadwalkan ketiga pertandingan tersebut di AS. Segala sesuatunya bisa saja diubah."

شكرًا لك يا لورانس، وشكرًا لك يا كانساس. 🇺🇸🇩🇿

مع تأهل المنتخب الجزائري إلى المرحلة التالية من المنافسة، لا يسعنا إلا أن نتوجه إليكم بجزيل الشكر.

شكرًا لاستقبالكم المنتخب الجزائري وجماهيره التي سافرت إلى كانساس، وشكرًا على أساور الصداقة، والهدايا التذكارية، وحفاوة الاستقبال، والتشجيع، واللقاءات التي جمعت الجميع. وشكرًا لأنكم قدمتم نموذجًا رائعًا لكرم الضيافة الذي تشتهر به منطقة الغرب الأوسط الأمريكي.

خلال الأيام الماضية، سعدنا بما شهدناه من صداقات جديدة، وحوارات، وروح مجتمعية أحاطت بإقامة المنتخب الجزائري في كانساس.

وتؤكد هذه اللحظات أن العلاقات بين الشعوب تظل في صميم الشراكة بين الولايات المتحدة والجزائر، وأن دعمه�� يشكل جزءًا أساسيًا من عمل سفارة الولايات المتحدة في الجزائر.

شكرًا يا كانساس على جعلكم المنتخب الجزائري يشعر وكأنه بين أهله. وسنواصل تشجيعه في رحلته، ونأمل أن تواصلوا أنتم أيضًا دعمه. 🇩🇿🇺🇸

Thank you, Lawrence. Thank you, Kansas. 🇺🇸🇩🇿

As Team Algeria heads to the next stage of the competition, we simply want to say thank you.
Thank you for opening your community to Team Algeria and the Algerian fans who traveled to Kansas. Thank you for the friendship bracelets and keepsakes, the warm welcomes, the cheers, the conversations. And thank you for showing the world what Midwestern hospitality is all about.

Over the past few days, we've loved seeing the friendships, conversations, and community spirit that surrounded Team Algeria's stay in Kansas. These moments remind us how people-to-people connections live at the heart of the American-Algerian relationship, and why supporting them is such an important part of our work at the U.S. Embassy in Algeria.

Thank you Kansas for making Team Algeria feel at home. We'll keep cheering on them as the journey continues, and we hope you will too! ⚽💚

"Ne ödemelerimi yapabileceğim kredi kartım çalışıyor ne havale yapabiliyorum; sağlık sigortam iptal edildi, otellere rezervasyon yapamıyorum. Kendimi Pablo Escobar gibi hissediyorum. Bunların hepsi, 'Gazze'de İsrail soykırım yapıyor' dediğim için."

Tonight, I gave Notice of Intent to bring forth a Privileged Resolution to force a vote on releasing the names of Congressmen who used taxpayer funds for sexual misconduct settlements.

The Speaker has two legislative days to consider the timing of the vote. Stay tuned.

URGENT! For any country where (from Italy to Thailand or Brazil) possible war criminals go on holiday and R&R. 🇮🇱 soldiers must be investigated, evidence assessed, and responsibility determined through DUE PROCESS.

This is not incitement to commit violence. It is accountability.

Abdul El-Sayed on Gaza: “This is a moral Rorschach test. If you can’t identify the systematic murder of tens of thousands of kids as a genocide and then you wanna say you’re a fighter for human rights and dignity, that’s just hypocrisy”

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

U.S. Congresswomen @RepRashida issued a stark warning to Lebanon’s government:

“Wake up!”

“Israel and the Trump administration are openly rooting for the new Lebanese civil war.”

“Learn the lessons of the countries before you.”

“A ceasefire with Israel means: You cease, they fire.”

She says the Trump administration’s Lebanon deal won’t protect the Lebanese people. It will deepen Israeli occupation and turn Lebanon into “another subcontractor for the Israeli occupation.”

Hope Lebanon’s elites hear this!

#GaryLineker has hit out at #FIFA & #US authorities over "shameful" hurdles imposed on #Iran's players.
#Iran has been subjected to restrictions throughout the competition, forced to base themselves in #Mexico & fly into #US under strict 24-hour match-day mandates.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Israel has become a defining issue in elections. People make the mistake of thinking that's just because of the horrific genocide and all the wars they drag us into. That's also clearly true. But the bigger issue is that it's a proxy for whether a politician is honest or corrupt.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The very least any new Prime Minister should do is establish a full, independent, public inquiry into Britain’s complicity in genocide.
