@hahussain It is a defeat for the United States, a defeat for the people of Iran, and a win for the IRGC dictatorship.

If the author thinks that theocrats staying in power in Iran is a victory for Iran and a defeat for America, then he’s endorsed Islamic Iranian definition of win and loss, that the victory is not about Iranian national interests but only about the survival of its tyrants.

In his first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV quotes J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.” (Photo: Vatican Media)

@feldm_andre Há exceções, parlamentares dedicadas ao interesse público. Já votei em quase todas.

Acho q os outros dois não pensam. 🤡

U.S. arms sales to Taiwan have been “paused,” a senior U.S. military official said, fueling concerns among lawmakers and Taiwanese officials that President Trump’s support for the democratically governed island is wavering. wapo.st/4wLI6of

Esse mês em preparação para a #NãoVaiTerCopa seria bom para unfollow um monte de contas que não têm mais nada a dizer. Infelizmente não são sempre as que tuítam com frequência excessiva. Algumas têm conteúdo apesar de um pouco repetitivo. Talvez entrem no festival de unfollow.

A former head of Iran’s state broadcaster says the Islamic Republic has imported Chinese equipment for a “permanent internet shutdown,” part of a plan to restrict global internet access while controlling the national narrative. Millions of Iranians have now been cut off from the global internet for 86 consecutive days.

@jcaetanoleite trump é um total calhorda, mas sobre presidentes americanos em geral, não há outro pronome fora "you".

Isso não é interiorano, experimenta chamar o Macron de tu ou o Trump de you pra você ver o que acontece. Problema é que parte da elite brasileira usa a cordialidade como instrumento de domínio. Da mesma forma que a empregada é parte da família, você chegar para um subalterno e falar “imagina, senhora morreu e tá no céu hahahhahaha” é uma forma de mostrar dominação, afinal, vocês são íntimos agora e se são íntimos, imagina, se ela te pedir algo fora do escopo da relação de orientação ou se ela não te der um retorno esperado, tá tudo bem… afinal, vocês são íntimos! Não é uma relação fria!

Tonight, the Russians struck Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities and communities. The largest number of missiles was directed at the capital – at ordinary residential buildings, at schools; they burned down a food market, one of Kyiv’s oldest markets. The Russian strike effectively destroyed the Chornobyl Museum, damaged the National Art Museum and the building housing the office of Germany’s ARD. As of now, 69 people have been reported injured in the capital. Tragically, two people were killed in this senseless Russian attack. My condolences to everyone who has lost family members and loved ones. I have already spoken with the President of France and the Prime Minister of Norway. There will be further communication with our partners today. I am grateful to everyone who is not staying silent about what Russia is doing. They are waging war solely against our people – against our memory, our history, and everything that makes up normal human life. It is important that Russia understands that they will be held accountable for all these crimes.

Here's why countries, in their wisdom, founded @WHO in 1948, and why the organization is of immense value today: It's because health is about togetherness. My health = your health = our health <---> multilateralism. I feel that @DrTedros's words 👇 are illustrative of this.

@krika_ra Minha mãe foi confundida com doméstica num assalto a supermercado depois de dar aula, os assaltantes não quiseram levar o anel dela.

Siiiim! Já cansei de ser confundida com funcionária de loja, como já confundi também. Já me confundiram até com a diarista. E não foi preconceito, foi raciocínio lógico pelo "outfit" q eu saí pro supermercado 🤣 Às vezes a gente dá a deixa, né?

@jcaetanoleite Não dá pra dizer que foi o Lula, mas o Brasil está melhorando nas últimas 4 décadas, embora mais devagar do que podia e devia.

Olha, eu diria que não dá para dizer que Lula mudou o Brasil para melhor em diversas dimensões, mesmo querendo muito...

@jcaetanoleite O Brasil não é um país desgraçado. É um país normal na média do mundo de hoje, com aspectos positivos em relação à maioria, e alguns problemas sérios que deveriam ser resolvidos mas não são por falta de vergonha na cara.

O Brasil é um país tão desgraçado, mas tão desgraçado, que liberal ataca o MST sendo que o MST é uma das organizações mais próximas no Brasil do que o liberalismo clássico prega: 1- Formalização da propriedade privada. Em geral ocupando propriedades que foram tomadas ilegalmente por grandes produtores que parasitam o Estado. 2- Garantir uma distribuição de terras para pequenos produtores. 3- Luta para combater a desigualdade através da inserção justa no mercado.

Em primeiro lugar, o MST não é dono da sorveteria, ele fornece o sorvete produzido pelas famílias assentadas que produzem frutas. Em segundo lugar, boa parte do trabalho do MST hoje em dia é garantir que as famílias que receberam terras pela reforma agrária possuam direitos básicos, como acesso à educação, saúde e impedir que sejam chacinadas por latifundiários grileiros. Parte desse processo está em garantir a viabilidade da produção e sua comercialização, garantindo o sustento dos membros a partir de cooperativas. É uma dessas cooperativas que leva a matéria prima para essa sorveteria.

@khodorkovsky_en @Kasparov63 That is not necessarily true. In South America we overcame dictatorships without violence. Likewise in Eastern Europe. Peaceful transitions may not be possible everywhere, but they can happen.

I've been asked, more than once, when we'll get rid of Putin. The honest answer: dictatorships only change by armed means. Either through violence or the threat of it. The Russian democratic opposition is mostly the educated urban class. The regime knows it and has shown it will kill its own citizens to stay in power — a threshold most people, in any country, would struggle to meet in numbers large enough to matter. So we don't set ourselves the task of an immediate regime change. We set ourselves a different task: be ready for the day after, have a vision, and make the most of that short window of opportunity so no Putin 2.0 happens.

23 May 1885 | A Czech Jewish woman, Irma Brumlová, was born. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt Ghetto on 26 October 1942. After the selection she was murdered in a gas chamber.

And think about how this would actually work in practice, and I’ll use Iranians as an example. Right now, more than 12,000 Iranian nationals who are here legally on student or work visas are already living in fear because of the Trump Administration’s USCIS processing pause. I recently introduced The Iranian Temporary Immigration Relief Act (H.R. 8740) with @RepTomSuozzi to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work authorization to eligible Iranian nationals. But this new policy is even more extreme. It’s horrifying, actually. It would impact people applying for green cards, many of whom have been living in the United States LEGALLY for years, building careers, raising American children, and creating full lives here. That includes thousands of Iranians who studied in the U.S. and are now working as scientists, engineers, researchers, and doctors at top companies and hospitals across this country. I personally know people in these exact circumstances. An Iranian married to an American citizen, with U.S. citizen children, could be forced to leave the country and process their case from abroad. But there is no U.S. embassy in Iran. And they could be sent back into the hands of a brutal regime in the middle of war and political repression. Stephen Miller-the architect behind Trump’s mass deportation agenda-has always pushed cruel and extreme policies. But this is beyond the pale. The human cost will be catastrophic for families across this country.

@gabbystern @WSJopinion One could have figured this out 10 years ago.

This statement of disgust and dismay from @WSJopinion is newsworthy in and of itself. I'm a close reader of the opinion section and this is the strongest, most negative language I've seen to date. wsj.com/opinion/trump-…

@jcaetanoleite David Frum escreveu isso… em 2017. Estava certo.

Me parece cada vez mais claro que Trump está querendo de toda forma possível criar mecanismos para tirar o máximo de dinheiro o possível do governo americano para si mesmo e, ao mesmo tempo, criar diversos mecanismos para que o Estado não possa o processar depois. Parece que ele sabe que vai perder e tá fazendo um enorme pé de meia e construindo muralhas para quando isso acontecer.

23 May 1913 | French Jew of Argentinian origin, Sigismond Syskind, was born in Buenos Aires. In 1921 he came to France. He was deported to #Auschwitz on 20 May 1944. Later he was transferred to Sachsenhausen, Flossenbürg and & Dresden where he died of dysentery on 7 April 1945.

🧬 Millions of people in Anatolia-modern Turkey today carry the blood of Islamized Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians — families whose ancestors were forcibly converted and assimilated over centuries. It is not “betrayal” to want to know your real heritage. It is the most natural, human thing in the world. @bulutuzay_ puts it perfectly in her important thread: “The correct term should be ‘Islamized Greeks’… the vast majority of us in Turkey, whose Greek ancestors were forcibly Islamized, have no knowledge of our true history.” She then gives practical, respectful steps for anyone who wants to begin discovering their pre-Turkic-Islamic roots: talk to the elders (gently), study real historical sources, research the Islamization process of your own village or region, and yes — do a DNA test. This message matters especially for the modern ultra-nationalist Greek-haters raised on state propaganda. Some of you are out here aggressively attacking Greeks while unknowingly being descendants of the very Greeks your propaganda wants to be erased. You may literally be pawns fighting against your own people. Greeks and Turks are not eternal enemies. We are neighbors with a complicated, painful, shared history. Respect the historical facts. Reject the manufactured hatred. Seek truth instead of slogans. @bulutuzay_’s thread is an excellent, honest starting point ⬇️ Knowledge is not disloyalty. Ignorance is. #Anatolia #Heritage #HistoricalTruth #Greece
