New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:

"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.

"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.

"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.

"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.

"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.

"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.

"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."

This is the best way I’ve seen an insurgent candidate handle the “does Israel have a right to exist” shibboleth so far. It’s embarrassing how many times she asked. I hate the media.

[Omid Memarian @Omid_M]

Nothing shows the divergence between Washington and Israel more than this: U.S. officials feared Israel might assassinate Iran’s chief negotiators and reportedly asked regional countries to warn Tehran. There is something terribly wrong with an alliance if your ally may sabotage the negotiations you’re leading. https://t.co/nielj6Ebja

[Hooman Majd @hmajd]

Seems the negotiation tactic of the Trump administration is "lying".
Pretend to negotiate, and in the middle bomb the sh*t out of the country you're pretending to negotiate with. Is that not "lying"?

That time when an unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before Indian President Modi as a gesture of respect.
Then, at the last moment, the United States suddenly abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to wait and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.

What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had blown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.

This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.

And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear......

We Live In A Comedy 😂

Over 3 months ago Trump insulted Iran calling it a "Nation of Terror and Hate."

Today, he calls it the "The lovely country of Iran, it's a beautiful place. Would anybody like to go there? The Islamic Republic of Iran."

Oh how tone changes after rough war

این تنها کاربری نیست که خبر از پاک شدن تعداد زیادی از اکانت‌های سلطنت طلب در روزهای گذشته داده. خیلی‌ها متوجه شدند فعالیت این گروه در فضای ایکس به شکل چشمگیر و محسوسی کم شده. خودشون دارن میگن دولت ترامپ به ایلان ماسک گفته حالا که داریم با ایران توافق میکنیم جلوی اینا رو بگیر. میگن زد و بند کردند. خیلی‌ها هم میگن اینها نتیجه پاکسازی فضای ایکس از باتها و اکانت‌های تحت حمایت دستگاه تبلیغاتی خارجیست که این اکانتها رو علم کرده بودند. عده ای هم معتقدند اینها نتیجه تلاش عده ای افراد معدودیست که مصمم شدند این اکانتها رو رپورت کنند.

Israel's UN ambassador gets in a shouting match with UN officials and demands the resignation of the author of a UN report documenting Israeli rapes of Palestinian prisoners. https://t.co/NIqrwRxfOn Seems to me the better approach would be to investigate the allegations of rape.

[Iran Embassy in Türkiye @Iran_in_Turkiye]

First, learn never to use the word "must" when addressing Iran.
Second, the United States must immediately restrain its rabid dog in the region — the terrorist Israeli regime.
If you don't, you'll add yet another defeat to your growing record of failures against Iran.

Tireless Pakistani and Qatari mediation has delivered major progress to end Lebanon War. Oil and petrochem exports are waived, blockade lifted, some frozen assets released, and major reconstruction & development plan launched for Iran.

[Vali Nasr @vali_nasr]

It is high time US re-evaluates its reliance on sanctions as the go to policy in dealing every situation it does not like. It has largely not changed any of the actions it has been intended for and in fact worsened them, and instead inflicted poverty and misery on innocent people.
