BREAKING: Iranian state media says it has now "no choice but to obtain the atomic bomb" to remove "the military option for the occupation and partitioning of Iran" from the table, arguing Iran must "absolutely reach nuclear deterrence" before current negotiations can be conducted "from a correct position," per Fars.
Iran adds the acquisition is not only driven by negotiation leverage but also by Trump's two recent nuclear threats against Iran, including his April warning that "a whole civilization will die tonight" and his May threat of "one big glow coming out of Iran."
This is also among the most direct nuclear weapons advocacy published on Iranian state media to date.
I tell myself every day: Don’t die. Don’t get tired.
Check on the children. Look for water. Check if there are any holes in the tent so the water doesn’t leak in. Then stand up—don’t die.
Don’t you dare die from some silly illness. Resist. Save your tears for a more painful day. Don’t you dare say, “I’m tired.”
Look for food. Don’t be afraid of the bombing. Gather your things and flee. Set up a tent. Flee again—don’t get tired.
Write, and then write, and then write. Write your own death with your own hands—don’t let anyone write about you.
Live, and don’t die.
Leigh McGowan on Mamdani-backed candidates winning: I think the Democratic establishment is freaking out. But I don't think the Democratic voter is. I think the Democratic voter is quite excited that we're finally seeing people with a fight.
💦 Mayor Mamdani kicked off NYC’s outdoor pool season today by jumping into the Thomas Jefferson Pool in East Harlem!

كيف تنفذ الإبادة - إسرائيل لديها دائماً الخطط القذرة لذلك .
اليوم ، أطلقت مسيرة إسرائيلية صاروخ على مركبة وسط قطاع غزة ودمرتها بشكل كامل، وقتلت كل من فيها. وعندما تجمع الأهالي لانتشال الجثث، أطلقت صاروخًا ثانِيًا لرفع حصيلة الشهداء والجرحى.
🚨Israeli occupation forces raided areas of Gaza City, Khan Younis and Jabalia tonight..
They moved the Yellow Line forward, squeezing 2.4 million Gazans into a more narrow strip.
In clear violation of the ceasefire, last week, Netanyahu’s aided declared the Israeli occupation forces would expand their occupation up to 70% of Gaza’s area..
Putting aside the fact that this completely erases the Nakba and that Israel was “founded” in Palestine, this is an insane sentence for an article about a UN report on Israel targeting children.
Deflecting from Israel’s current genocide against Palestinians.
"The hardest decision we had to make in completing this report was.. not to name the Palestinian children, whose deaths, injuries & suffering we describe.. we didn't name them because we feared the consequences for their families"
He means Israel would go after them too.
'Tragically, most hospitals in Gaza are not fully functioning’
The government laying bare its utter hypocrisy and support for a genocide, it refuses to name.
