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."

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.

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.”

Under the Geneva Conventions, you are required to rescue the crew of a ship that you sink during war. To leave them to drown is both illegal and depraved beyond belief. The US military fights with zero morals. It is today's Nazi army.

🚨 CNN just accidentally said the quiet part loud on live television: “We’re not showing you that because the Israeli government doesn’t allow us — or want us — to show where that may have come from.” A major American news network just admitted on air that a foreign government is controlling what you see. Not suggesting it. Not implying it. Confessing it. Speaker Johnson calls Islam a misguided religion from the House floor. The CIA arms Kurdish militias for regime change. And now CNN confirms Israel is managing the visual narrative of a war American taxpayers are funding with their lives and $220 million a day. You are not seeing the full picture. By design.

BREAKING Spain’s MEP Irene Montero: “No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression. Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Lebanon. Not in Afghanistan. And it will not happen in Iran either. They hide behind women’s rights to justify their colonial wars.”
