5:30pm in Harlem ICE abducts someone and a man intervenes Be like this man. Intervene. Resist. Yell and make a scene. Record. Whatever you can do that slows them down, inspires others, and makes them hesitate to escalate. Esp if you're a white citizen

💢 Mohsen Rezaei, Senior Military Adviser to the new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei: “If their air power, which is their main force, has not yielded results, what are they expecting from a ground operation? Are American soldiers really ready to die for Israel? I guess we’ll see.”

Iran struck the Israeli chemical complex in the Negev (ICL Rotem). The sole supplier of white phosphorus to the US military. The same chemical weapons used by Israel to burn civilians, homes, and farmland in Lebanon and Gaza. ICL is Israel’s largest chemicals company.

Two weeks ago Susan Collins said troops on the ground in Iran would require Congressional approval. 1,000 American servicemen are on their way to Iran at this very moment. And Susan Collins has said nothing, and done nothing.

Remember: For the US and Israel to win, they have to achieve regime change. For Iran to win, they just have to survive.

As I've been saying this entire time, Iran's whole strategy with this has been to launch 1-2 missiles at a time and deplete western interceptor stockpiles, while simultaneously extending the longevity of their own ballistic missile stockpiles. It's smart, and the results are starting to show. We went from Israel shooting down almost every missile, to sometimes not shooting down any, like what we saw with 2/2 missiles hitting Hadera. This is because they are rationing interceptors and prioritising defending certain areas. This proves Iran's strategy has been successful so far. Resistards were hoping for a ton of 12-day-war-style clips of missiles slamming into Tel Aviv every single night, and were disappointed and angry at me when this didn't happen. I've been trying to say this for so long. Iran is (finally) prioritising actual military success over PR wins. Just because you don't see tons of clips of hypersonic missiles hitting Tel Aviv, it doesn't mean there isn't a comprehensive plan in place. You don't need to justify a lack of damage through posting AI slop and old videos, and claiming "Tel Aviv is burning, trust me bro". Although, unfortunately, for accounts who have followings consisting entirely of people who follow this war for entertainment and view it as a football game, they have no other way to get engagement.

What I’m hearing from sources in Tehran is lots of skepticism and suspicion about the recent U.S. positions and request for direct talks passed to Iran via intermediaries. Tehran is reviewing the comms, no formal response yet, will continue its retaliatory strikes.

"How can we as Christians in this area not be with Hezbollah? ... They protect our churches. They helped us fight ISIS. During Covid they gave us free care in their hospitals. When there was no electricity they gave us generators. They even put up a Christmas tree at Christmas."

Today I met my university professor… the doctor who once taught me Organizational Behavior. I approached him with a smile and said, “How are you, doctor? I hope you are well.” He looked at me with tired eyes and replied, “I’m not well… who are you?” I felt embarrassed and said gently, “You don’t remember me? I’m Mohammed… you taught me at the university.” His answer shocked me: “Which university? Which course? When?” I froze. I started wondering… did I mistake him for someone else? Or did he lose his memory? Or did the war take something from his mind? I couldn’t continue the conversation. I left quietly, feeling that I had just met a man who looked like my professor… but wasn’t him anymore. When I returned to my tent, I called a friend who studied with me and is related to him. I asked him what happened. He paused… then said: “He is the only survivor from his family. Their house was bombed… everyone was killed. Since that day, he hasn’t been the same. It’s like he lost his mind… the shock broke him.” I was devastated. I wished I hadn’t left him standing there alone. I wished I had hugged him… sat beside him… He once taught me, and I loved him like a father. War doesn’t only destroy homes… it breaks minds, shatters souls, and leaves people alive… but lost. May God ease your pain, doctor. Please keep him in your prayers. 💔

"We've reached the stage where this is actually an unwinnable war." Former defence secretary Sir Grant Shapps tells ＠AliFortescue that it will be "very, very difficult" for the U.S. to win the Iran war "in any conventional sense". trib.al/8l7rOjJ 📺 Sky 501 and YT

This child is one of more than 70,000 children left behind by the war in Gaza. Orphans, deprived of the most basic meanings of life. Some of them, like him, do not yet understand what it means to grow up without a father. But one day, they will. And when that moment comes, they will ask a question no child should ever have to ask: “What did I do to deserve this?” We may never be able to replace what they have lost, no matter what we do. But we do what we can, so that when that moment comes, they do not feel that the world has abandoned them. And maybe, just maybe, they will remember that once, someone reached out a hand. And your support is part of that hand. It makes a real difference. #WoundedGaza

"Gaza is an experiment". Sickening. True. The sadism and fury Israel has unleashed on the Palestinian people is APPALLING. Those denying the genocide, should follow @DCIPalestine: not a day passes without Israelis killing, maiming, torturing Palestinian children, including in the West Bank. The end game is ERASURE.

It appears Iran's "position is gaining strength," says @AliAbunimah   This includes a large number of people maintaining a positive view of Iran, despite efforts to villainize it. "It is clear Iran is winning the battle for hearts and minds."

Given Iran's strong position in the war, is it possible that it could push for a true ceasefire across the region, including Lebanon and Gaza? @JonElmer provides his analysis.

Going for the Liberal Zionist vote. How retro

Sky News’ Dominic Waghorn said the US-Israeli air campaign “is strengthening the government,” as many Iranians increasingly rally around the state under sustained attack. He spoke to MS NOW after a week inside Tehran, saying the city is under near-constant bombardment by U.S. and Israeli strikes, with explosions heard “pretty much every hour,” and residents living in conditions where “it did not feel safe anywhere.” Waghorn described civilians feeling directly targeted, not just the government, as large 2000-pound bombs hit residential areas, leaving ordinary civilians feeling the brunt. Roughly a third of the population has fled, while those who remain live with constant fear that their homes or children could be next. @DominicWaghorn | @MSNOWNews

So the US and Israel did it. They attacked Iran’s energy infrastructure tonight. When Iran does the same in all the region and the world starts plunging into total collapse remember who started it. Iran has every right to defend itself

On this day last year, Israel murdered our very dearest and bravest colleague Hossam Shabat in an airstrike in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza. His last words were, "I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free."

"We saw what they did to the Palestinians and we know that's the nature of our enemy. But we still want to resist," says says Dr. Setareh Sadeqi (@Leelako), a professor at the University of Tehran.
