@abcnews It amazing to me that Laura Tingle and Matthew Doran can report on the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran saying what it means, when nobody knows what is in it. What is their source? Their feelings?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Lord is a refuge for the poor (cf. Ps 14:6). In Christ, we are called to become poor and to be a refuge for the poor. The Christian community cannot remain indifferent to the many who stand at the door but remain invisible to those who are shut within their own walls. https://t.co/sbtiuOBod5

در راه لس‌آنجلس هستم.

پرچم شیر و خورشید را با خودم آورده‌ام؛ پرچمی که یادآور ایرانِ آزاد و سربلند است.

دوشنبه، در مسابقه ایران و نیوزیلند، در ورزشگاه می‌بینمت هموطن.

تو هم پرچمت را بیاور. ما همچنین تی‌شرت‌هایی با تصاویر جان‌فدایان ایران آماده کرده‌ایم تا نام و یادشان را به ورزشگاه ببریم؛ فرزندانی که جانشان را برای آزادی و سربلندی ایران فدا کردند.

گرچه این تیم تیم ملی نیست، اما ایران فقط یک تیم نیست؛ ایران من و توییم، ایران میلیون‌ها دلی است که برای یک سرزمین می‌تپد.

دوشنبه، با پرچم‌های شیر و خورشید، با یاد قهرمانانمان و با عشق به ایران، کنار هم خواهیم ایستاد و خواهیم درخشید.

وعده ما در ورزشگاه.

برای ایران. برای آزادی. برای فردایی که در راه است و من و تو آفریننده آن.

Meet the real Iranian national team, not the team of the Islamic regime.

They are the young men and women who took to the streets to reclaim their country. Many of them lost their lives, while countless others have been imprisoned, executed, or continue to suffer in detention.

The football team attending the World Cup does not represent the Iranian nation. It represents the Islamic Republic regime, a regime that has lost its legitimacy in the eyes of millions of Iranians and people around the world.

I will attend the match in the stadium to show the world what the Iranian people have endured and to stand in support of my country, its rich history, and the Lion and Sun flag. I firmly believe that the true winners of this game are the Iranian people, not the regime.

The regime has always been on the losing side, and it will continue to lose again and again until our victory is complete and definitive.

@Pontifex So, who are they? Call them out by name, orthe statement is meaningless.

[@mhar4 @mhar4]

The Australia-Germany Joint Statement also notable for its addition of a prepositional phrase "by force or coercion", making a stronger statement about agency for changing the status quo lying with Beijing, instead of the usual equivocation between Beijing and Taipei.

@AJEnglish Did he say anything about Iran's terrorist activities and determination to eliminate the state of Israel?

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Hezbollah official: “We are currently investing in protests and demonstrations in Western countries, especially among college students.

We already have Muslim students agitating, but it’s the Western students themselves who will destroy their own countries.”

This is the decade-old plan by Hezbollah and the Iranian regime to destroy America and Europe.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Diplomatic immunity of outgoing UNRWA commissioner-general Philippe Lazzarini ends on June 31st. On July 1st, we will be demanding his indictment for complicity in terrorism, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Lazzarini cannot claim he didn't know. We have all the receipts.

Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology.

China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

[UN Watch @UNWatch]

BREAKING: Alice Edwards, one of only two UN rights experts to sign a letter on the Oct. 7 atrocities, says “There was a campaign [by other rapporteurs] to prevent that letter going out. Weeks of being bullied and deterred from writing it, telling me everything in it was false.”

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Peter’s eternal optimism is cool

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

ELON MUSK:
“We’re going to have universal high income.
We’ll basically just issue money to people."

"AI and robots are going to make so much stuff and provide so many services that they’ll run out of things to do for humans."

"Money will stop being relevant at some point in the future."

"AI won’t use human currency. It will care about power and mass: wattage and tonnage.”

ME:
“So just as you’re becoming a multi-trillionaire, money starts to have less value?”

ELON:
“Yeah, pretty much.”

[UN Watch @UNWatch]

German broadcasters don't want you to know that UNRWA staff participated in the October 7th massacre.

A U.S. federal investigation now suspects 1,500 UNRWA staff members of terror ties, including involvement with the Oct. 7 atrocities.

Any deal with the United States will slowly destroy the Islamic Republic from within.

Division and infighting is at its highest since 1979.
