The #globalleft keeps falling into #imperialpaternalism—talking like #Iranians don’t understand politics, like we have zero judgment and need Western “experts” to explain reality to us. That’s not solidarity. That’s the #colonialgaze in a progressive costume. We’re not unaware that #Israel is acting in its own interest. We’re not unaware...

I was asked to redo the last video in English so every African can understand. To all African countries and all African bodies like AU and SADC who have abandoned Tanzanians during this horrific time this message is for you. You left us alone to fight a government that killed over 10,000 of us and is willing to kill even more to stay in power. When we get help from Western countries we will need you to keep minding your own business like you are doing right now. We don’t want to hear nothing about a sovereign nation. When a government kills its own people to stay in power it loses the the right to claim its sovereignty. Donald J. Trump Department of State Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman African Union @ SADAC

If you really understand what you are doing, you will know that this country does not just need anybody in leadership. We need leaders who are competent and skilled, people who can see a problem, understand it clearly and fix it in the right way. Those who keep choosing unqualified people for us are also part of the problem. They block good leaders from having the chance to speak about the people’s problems and find real solutions. Just imagine if we had only ten people like Hon. Bello Hon. Mohammed Bello El-Rufai. Things would be much better. It is time for us to wake up. We must understand our real problems and choose the right people to lead us. There is no reason to select someone to speak for us when that person is not even prepared or capable. We need more people like Hon. Bello Hon. Mohammed Bello El-Rufai. May Allah continue to guide you in leadership. Kaduna is blessed to have people like you.

Reporter: How long does your admin plan to pause asylum? Trump: A long time. We don’t want them. We don’t want those people. You understand that? You know why? Because many of them are no good. Reporter: What do you mean by those people? Trump: People from other countries are not friendly to us and that are out of control. Countries like Somalia.

It always blows my mind when NATO sits there and says that they don’t need the United States but somehow need answers as to why we’re pulling our US soldiers out of these NATO countries. Out of their own mouths they’ve claimed that they don’t need us and the only reason why they don’t need us is because they don’t agree with the president that’s holding their feet to the fire. NATO failed the ultimate loyalty test so why are we going to continue to pay one-sided loyalty fees for people that will not show up for us when we ask them to. It’s not like we actually needed them because we’ve been handling this on our own without the support of NATO, but they’ve made it that much easier to prove that we don’t need them to fight our own battles and they clearly need us to fight theirs. Maybe if you weren’t an IRGC sympathizer and opened up your country to a bunch of fucking terrorists you’d actually be able to have a back bone in a spine to stand up for your people but as we’ve seen in Great Britain, should you offend someone on the Internet you throw them in jail, but not these motherfuckers that are raping your children, and women in the streets. So I think it’s about time you guys start fighting your own battles and funding your own NATO budget or if you want us to be a part of NATO we pay what the average is for the rest of your countries instead of 5% GDP. Maybe y’all will finally start acting like you have some loyalty to the people who helped you win your wars.

🚨Dear Hakeem Jeffries, You stood in front of the country… and told us that the Supreme Court took away Black people’s right to vote. Let that sink in. That’s not a misunderstanding. That’s not a misquote. That’s not “spin.” That is a statement that does not match reality. No one lost their vote. No one was removed from the process. No ballots were taken. So the question becomes… Why say it? Why take something that is a legal debate about how districts are drawn… and turn it into a claim that people are being stripped of their fundamental rights? Because once you convince people they’re under attack… you don’t have to explain anything else. And that’s where this video starts. We’re going to break this down cleanly… step by step… no emotion, just facts… What the Court actually said… What Jeffries claimed… And why those two things don’t line up. If you sir, care about truth… if you care about being told what’s real and not what’s useful… Stay right here. Let’s get into it. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

Saying "we don't have the power right now" is not an acceptable statement when you’re one of only 100 people in the country who’s a sitting US Senator. You have power. You have a platform. People are in the fight every single day and want to see you giving it all you got. We’re a different breed in Michigan. After being locked out of power for 40 years, we showed how to fight, win, and deliver. That’s what I’ll bring to the US Senate.

It seems to me we still in the “they can’t do that or that can’t happen” phase BUT IT IS HAPPENING WAKE UP! You will have to explain to the next generation why it’s so fucked up now. We can be the ones to change this. But we are PUSSYS! We are so scared of change that we don’t realize that change don’t give a fuck about our fear. It’s gonna happen with or without you. But we have the chance now to work with change to make it better. If not get ready for the fuckedupness(yea I made a word) that’s about to occur! Not one of you, NOT ONE OF US, can say “how did this happen” we know we let it happen! GET OUT OF YOUR OWN SHIT AND PARTICIPATE YOU LIVE HERE TOOO!! UGHHHHH! #sosickofus

This you? We don’t care what you do and don’t tolerate. We care that you protect your citizens, which you’ve failed to do. You know this is all going to collapse, and you blame the people for being “Islamophobic” instead of Islam, you know the ideology that’s raped your women and children, killed your people, and invaded your government. How many times do we have to tell you we are not compatible? ISLAM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE WESTERN WORLD!!!! Learn it, you spineless twat.

Here is Yasmin Vossoughian Reports talking to someone inside Iran. This is journalism, not what CNN is doing by sending Frederik Pleitgen to Iran as journalist who is controlled by the regime and only reports regime propaganda narratives. Also, this is for the “Pahlavi has no support in Iran” & “no one knows who Pahlavi is in Iran” crowd. And for those who have been attacking the diaspora/Iranians inside Iran, calling them “vatan foroush” aka “one who sells out their own country” People need to stop pretending they speak for Iranians inside Iran while ignoring what many inside Iran are actually saying. Even in this clip, our brother inside Iran clearly says people support Reza Pahlavi and need someone like him. You do not have to “want war” to understand why many Iranians believe the regime cannot be defeated by bare hands against Basij, and the IRGC. No sane Iranian wants to see their homeland bombed, but the blame for where we are belongs first and foremost to the Islamic Republic, not to Iranians in the diaspora and not to Iranians inside Iran who believe outside help is necessary. We heard the same arguments during the June 2025 war, and I told y’all, if the regime survives more Iranians will be killed than you can imagine. Less than a year later, 32k+ Iranians were killed in the regime’s own crackdown as I called it. Compare that to the numbers during these two wars, which include high rate of IRGC & regime officials. So I genuinely want to understand the logic of attacking the very people who are standing with Iranians inside Iran. I personally have always echoed the voices of people inside Iran and what they tell me. If your position is always “I hate the regime, but…” and that “but” always ends with protecting the conditions that keep it alive, then what exactly are you offering the Iranian people besides more death and more time under this regime? So before you jump to attack, please just listen to what people are saying in Iran. I’m not attacking anyone, I’m just trying to have a fair dialogue, to get an understanding on where my misunderstanding might be. Long Live Iran 🇮🇷

We are at a moment of unique transformation in the Middle East. A regime that murders its own people by the thousands and has fueled terror across the globe for decades does not deserve any form of appeasement. The US must continue to lead a maximum pressure campaign against the regime while supporting the Iranians demanding democracy and self-determination.

I grew up in Iran, a Muslim-ruled country, under a regime that killed its own people. That’s not a political opinion. That’s my lived experience. So when I speak about it, I’m not being Islamophobic. I’m being honest. The people of Iran know the truth. They’re living it every day. It’s time we stop being afraid to say it out loud.

A Revolutionary Guard commander ordering the killing of civilians on Iran State TV. His words: “We don’t want to kill your children… but if they show sympathy for the enemy, there is a shoot-to-kill order.” This is the regime that has waged war not only beyond its borders but against its own people. And people wonder why Iranians are fighting to end this regime. #IranMassacre

Since January 2020 the US dollar has lost 28% of its value. If you owned assets, a house, stocks, AI plays, you’re probably fine. Your nominal numbers went up. If you didn’t own assets during that period, you lost purchasing power and you’re in a personal crisis. And you’re furious at the politicians. That’s why people like Zohran Mamdani are gaining traction. They’re speaking directly to that pain. And people are going to vote for them. We have a severe structural problem in this country. If we don’t address it, it gets worse. That’s not a prediction. That’s just math.

Will the countries of the Security Council choose to stand with a regime that slaughters its own people, that brutalizes its neighbors, that strangles the world’s economy? Or will they standing with the shining cities of Manama, Kuwait City, Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha—with the people that seek a better future, for not only their people, but for the region, and for the world? I know what decision the United States is making. And we’re choosing to stand for freedom of navigation. We’re choosing to stand for international law. We’re choosing to stand with our partners as we move forward.

How right can I be?’” Bill Maher: “You put your finger on the thing that makes me so incensed about the woke and far-left… We need no further credentials to let you know that we are certainly not conservatives, we’re not right-wingers, we’re not whatever you think.” “And yet, it’s never enough for them. It’s never enough.” “We’re just not willing to go along with your insanity. That doesn’t make us conservatives.”

Sean McVay thinks players can immediately recognize when a leader is preaching “we not me” but privately making everything about himself: “You’ve always talked about ‘we not me’… And now you’re not living the stuff that you’re trying to preach to the team.” “People might not see it externally. But you know how you feel. Players know better than anybody… You can put on a smile… But they know if a dude is real or not.” “They know if he believes what he’s saying in front of the team. There’s a consistency that earns that trust.” “It’s a blessing, not a burden. It became more about… ‘What does this look like after all the things we’ve done?’ ‘I’m not winning games.’ You’re all out of whack.” “When we do well… Other people get opportunities that they’re deserving of. That’s what’s really fulfilling.” “You’re damn right we want to go get another one. But if that’s the only thing… Those are the things that got me a little bit out of whack.” “Having a real thing that’s about people other than yourself… That’s when I’ve been at my best.” “Sometimes you need to get humbled… To really reset yourself. I didn’t learn as much after we won in ’21… As I learned last year.”
