Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: We support the serious and decisive steps being taken by the governments of Iraq and Lebanon to remove the threat from their countries and prevent any slide toward conflict. We stand alongside Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in disarming Hezbollah.

Constantly checking in with family members in the gulf to see if they're ok. No matter where you are, the American empire’s reach in the Muslim world is inescapable. May god protect the innocents across the Muslim world who are free from the actions of their leaders. Amen 🤲🏾

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

The UK government "urged us not to go Pakistan. And they said if we do go there, we won't have any kind of protection from their side if we get arrested." A pretty shocking revelation from Kasim Khan, Imran Khan's son, about the Labour government. Watch my full interview: zeteo.com/p/imran-khan...

Correct. The common tactic we can see in the last ten years is that mixed-race politicians who claim Black international/ or African heritage are "not really Black" -- so as to dissuade Black Americans from supporting them. See Obama, Harris, Mamdani. Clockwork. Nasty work.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Bibi Netanyahu, in 2002, urging the US to invade Iraq: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region." The US listened then, and we saw what happened. 23 years later, here we are.
