beyond, beyond maddening. imagine if even a stone of a european church or palace got scratched. there'd be weeks of hysteria in the western press. meanwhile, two zionist pedophile regimes are blithely destroying one world historical site after another in iran & it's tumbleweeds

[Setareh Sadeqi 𓂆 ☫ @Leelako]

Rashk Palace from the Safavid and Qajar era in Isfahan has been destroyed by US.-Zionist airstrikes.

the fact that mamdani didn't mention him even once is 👨‍🍳🤌

[Bita @bitaviani]

the best part of this is how miserable james dolan looks. you know he's thinking that if it was cuomo up there, 95% of the speech would be about what a wonderful businessman dolan is and how much we should cherish billionaires lmao

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

here is Mamdani's entire speech at the Knicks parade, which is easily the best speech I've ever heard at an event of this sort

[Tim Cato @tim_cato]

y’all will not believe how quickly “not even allowed to write something wrong now in this perfect world” will enter my lexicon

[Ochai Latte @nasimali]

really glad canada saved the lashings for qatar bosnians are good people

[Bita @bitaviani]

@adamjohnsonCHI isn't this the "expert" on fascism and authoritarianism who never mentions israel lol

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

The terms are the terms because the US and Israel took a shot and missed. Now they have to eat shit. That’s the way these things work. That’s it. not everything fits into your middle school “autocrats vs the noble and humanitarian democratic West” cartoon narrative

[Mohammad @MargBarAmerica]

@harryjsisson The loser of the war is the one who gets a worse deal, yes. That’s how war works. Don’t start wars you can’t win.

[Bita @bitaviani]

@politico @JBKSchlossberg @DashaBurns wow what hard-hitting journalism

[Bita @bitaviani]

Love that Karen is speaking for how 93 million Iranians feel about trump and the national football team 🚮

[Bita @bitaviani]

More like Karen in tel aviv pretending to be writing from Iran @guardian

[Bita @bitaviani]

IRANNNNN! Incredible goal 😍

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

FIFA is such a rancid organization. Over the course of their genocide against the Palestinians, the Israelis have killed hundreds of Palestinian athletes, including football players. It is a particularly nasty cruelty of the western liberal order to ask that the slaughtered ‘play’ with their killers.

[Maryam Jamshidi (msjamshidi.bsky.social) @MsJamshidi]

Robin Wright epitomizes the kind of “expertise” on Iran that is based on little to no serious scholarship on Iran, no command of Farsi, relatively limited travel to the country, & repetition of Western tropes designed to justify marginalizing and attacking the country

[Bita @bitaviani]

@pastfive076 @UdsiAsli Oh I see, you’re a fucking moron. Never
mind

[Bita @bitaviani]

@pastfive076 @UdsiAsli “The whole Zionist establishment” is not screeching against him. Literally Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Sheldon Whitehouse have endorsed him. It’s lefty podcast slop slingers who are dead set on pushing this lie that this backwater war criminal is an anti-Zionist

[nobody from nowhere @ctizzie]

"antizionist" 😏

[Red @TaintlessRed]

The Azteca is a proper football stadium. The whole tournament should've been in Mexico, but that wouldn't earn FIFA the money they want. No one would have visa issues. Everyone would be welcomed with grace. A proper world cup atmosphere.

[Bita @bitaviani]

@NiceCrossbreeze @ryangrim @hyphy_republic @SanaSaeed he 100% would. this crowd has zero principles and cares nothing for the lives of non-americans. if an iof psycho comes back in a couple of years and says "medicare for all," they would fall over themselves praising him

[El Jones @ElJonesPoet]

Slavery was so long ago and we’re supposed to be over it until you want to have an image of the resistance of enslaved people, then it’s too political. They will never forgive Haiti for winning their freedom. They made Haiti pay France reparations for 150 years and still salty.

[Bita @bitaviani]

@lefty_md @enoughformethx he's been incoherent about his "anti-war" activism and his "service" from the jump, which makes him at best untrustworthy
