As an Iranian woman & feminist, I don't know any women or feminists in Iran who would call for women's rights by stripping.

Joe Biden pardoned his own son and called his prosecution a "miscarriage of justice," but has not pardoned Leonard Peltier, the longest held political prisoner in the US. The Bidens truly have no shame.

There's significant confusion about Iran & the Axis of Resistance. Each time the Axis suffers a setback, many question Irans commitment to anti-imperialism. Below, I explain why this is misguided & reflects ignorance of natl liberation theory & Irani history.

A thread in response to Rashid Khalidi as well: 1- Professor Khalidi was my undergraduate IR professor. I was always grateful for his presence & support at UChicago. I have cited his work, and I continue to hold members of his family dear.

A response to Rashid Khalidi: 1) I always say at the outset that I am indebted to Rashid: he was my undergraduate advisor at AUB and later served as my advisor for MA, also at AUB. He directed me and mentored me in my education and helped me in my PhD pursuits in the US. 2)

Israel just hit civilian buildings in Tehran. Don't believe CNN reports that they only attacked military targets. This is a US-led attack with US-made talking points.

I refuse to submit to Trump's shock & awe campaign on Gaza. He just struck 'deals' with Colombia Mexico & Canada. He doesn't intend to take Gaza & knows he can't. The only real questions are about the potential deal: what concessions does he want & from whom.

REPORTER: You are talking tonight about the US taking over a sovereign territory. What authority would allow you to do that? Are you talking about a permanent occupation? TRUMP: “I do see a long term ownership position” of Gaza after Palestinians are moved elsewhere. “This is

🧵 on the ceasefire deal. This is a massive victory brought about by the Palestinian resistance & the popular cradle that supported it first & foremost, followed by the forces in the Axis of Resistance next, and then solidarity movements around the world. 1/n

8- Ultimately, unlike Edward Said, Professor Khalidi is ending his academic career having shifted further to the right of where he was. But history unfolds independent of the proclamations of scholars, and nothing he says will undo national liberation.

5- Instead he attacks the Axis in a manner that can best be described as ahistorical. If there is no Axis, who liberated Lebanon in 2000 and 2006? Who has prevented Israel from taking Gaza this past year?

4- Rashid says there is no axis & never was. This reflects his ongoing support for the Palestinian Authority, as Asad explains. What is most immediately troubling is that he doesnt choose to attack the PA even though its doing this now

The situation is horrifying. The PA cut off electricity from Jenin refugee camp, & a child has been shot moments ago. His name is Mohammad Meri. According to his family he is in surgery but his fate remains unknown. The PA is targeting resistance groups at the behest of Israel,

Folks the 4 for 200 analysis is wrong. This didnt start today. Its 4 for nearly 40K, plus the 9K arrested in the West Bank & the unknown # of Gazans held in concentration camps - all since October. Don't forget history, either the long history or the recent.
