this is honestly an excellent celebratory and motivational speech from Mamdani at the Knicks parade. i'm ready to run through a wall, and i'm not even a Knicks fan
instead of meal prepping on sundays, have u considered taking an impromptu and cost ineffective trip to the grocery store every single day of the week?
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
Americans have never been carpet bombed and have no idea what is the mass loss of life inflicted by warmongers. Any American who wonders why any part of the world shouts "Death to America" is seriously deluded about their own history, crimes, and practices. Your taxes kill babies
I’m losing my mind — they are just slaughtering people in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran like it’s nothing. It’s absolutely nothing to them to just slaughter our peoples with such ease while they justify it across every major news channel, every major institution of power and prominence.
I don’t think you understand how catastrophic the oil refinery bombing in Tehran is.
Burning petroleum releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides that mix with rain to form sulfuric and nitric acid, essentially turning rainfall toxic.
When Saddam burned Kuwaiti oil wells in 1991, the fallout contributed to what became known as Gulf War Syndrome, with veterans developing chronic illness and cancer decades later.
The difference now: this isn’t a desert battlefield, it’s a city of 10 million people, most of which women and children.
Reuters confirmed that the elementary school in the Iranian city of Minab was bombed TWICE by the US military, 40 minutes apart.
This was intentional. You don't "accidentally" bomb a school TWO TIMES.
168 children and 14 teachers were killed. It was a massacre.
The US bombing of schoolchildren in Iran is the biggest single US massacre of civilians since My Lai. The Israeli bombing of Tehran’s oil storage constitutes the biggest single act of chemical warfare against a civilian population in history. Grotesque new depths of barbarism.
You’re allowed to go back 47 years to 1979 to explain why the US is angry with Iran, but don’t you dare go back another 26 years to 1953 to explain why Iran was angry with the US in 1979.
Incredible. The Guardian can't even bring itself to call the Khamenei's killing an "assassination", let alone a murder or a war crime.
