FUN FACT: Mitch McConnell has been on paid medical leave for 51 days now. That's over 7 weeks.

This is a week longer than the 6 weeks of maternity leave that women in the US are not guaranteed after giving birth.

Abdul El-Sayed was born in America. Melania Trump immigrated years later. It's amazing how selective some people are about who they call "real Americans."

British professor David Miller was unlawfully fired by the University of Bristol because of his criticism of Zionism, an employment tribunal has ruled, confirming that anti-Zionism is a legally protected belief in the UK.

While the world burns, oil companies rake in billions.

Congress: Reject fossil fuel campaign contributions. Address the climate crisis.

The US has refused to host Iran's national team for the World Cup even though they have to play all their games there

Which means they're based in Tijuana and will have to fly on the day of their games

I've never heard of this kind of discrimination in World Cup history

BREAKING: In a statement to AFP, the Israeli army says it “regrets” the “collateral damage” to a synagogue in Tehran from an overnight strike, stressing it was aimed at “a senior military target within the regime’s armed forces, not at any place of worship.”

Shouldn't Universities the world over be condemning US/Israeli attacks on a university in Iran, or will they generally be silent like they were on Gaza? #IranWar #AcademicChatter

Dubai: Layoffs have commenced in the UAE education sector. Non-essential teaching staff, particularly in sports and extracurricular roles, are having their contracts terminated. For many expats, this risks immediate financial default and long-term travel bans.

The U.S. is starving 11 million people in Cuba.

Right now.

Power is out.

Food is rotting.

Water pumps are shut down.

Sewage is overflowing into the streets.

Russia tried to send humanitarian aid.

The US Navy blocked them. American news isn't covering this.

[Dr. Zarqa د. زرقاء @DrZarqa3]

Boots on the ground would be a grave mistake, far worse than the Iraq scenario. I pray that our region is spared and saved from this chaos. Literally, even as an academic who has spent most of her life researching such matters, I am out of analysis for human stupidity. At this point, I believe only prayer and Allah’s mercy are our biggest hope.

Israel is discovering that fighting a technologically advanced military is a lot harder than bombing and starving a defenseless population trapped inside of an open air prison camp

HAPPENING NOW: Trump just threatened to take Iran out with a nuclear bomb.

“We could take Iran out this afternoon. We could take them out in an hour and they’d never be able to build their country back.”
