When Ahmadinejad called out hypocrisies at the UN in 2011. He was killed in the recent bombing in Iran. Can’t say he was perfect, but he had a lot of good points. Many UN members walked out in protest.
You can say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you will join us and the world will be as one.
The world needs a new way forward and the justifications of these ongoing wars and atrocities will continue to destroy us all if we don’t do something to stop the powerful and manipulative forces behind them.
He was killed in the latest attack on Iran, which is what brought me back to finding and rereading this speech.
If you don’t recall or never heard his words to the council, you can read it here.
I can’t say I condone the many human rights violations that have happened in Iran over time, but I also say that he had every right to call out all the atrocities and hypocrisies that other “ruling” nations (including the US) have committed.
I remember this speech Ahmadinejad, former president of Iran, gave in front of the UN back in 2011 and how I was actually moved by it. Many UN members walked out in protest, but I remember thinking that he was calling out so much truth.

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA.
In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.
The USDA cutting of a local food purchasing program will result in roughly $180,000 less funding coming into Whatcom County food banks for purchasing this year. And an unclear future for funding of another program could make matters worse.

"The White House can lie all they want about how they're not stopping cancer research," the NIH source said, "but they're stopping cancer research on [NIH's] Bethesda campus."
Can confirm. The many shifting rules and EOs and bans do seem designed to stop cancer research at #NIH.
Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs.
It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎
Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats.
One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”
After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.
"Jobs were also eliminated at the National Hurricane Center and Storm Prediction Center... and the tsunami warning centers in Alaska and Hawaii..."

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
Some online goth stores I like that have inclusive sizes (since we are about the same size and these have clothes I can fit) are: killstar, foxblood, vampire freaks, forest ink, & midnight hour. The cutest stuff sells quick, but check those sites regularly you can find some sexy & unique fits!

The chaos of Trump's first month in office is no accident. This gutting of the federal government and impounding of Congressionally allocated funds was laid out years ago by Russell Vought, Trump's OMB director and Project 2025 architect. Todd Beeton looked at his core beliefs for The Big Picture.
Hundreds of NOAA employees were laid off yesterday, escalating the Trump admin’s assault on federal workers. These cuts align with #Project2025’s goal of dismantling NOAA and privatizing key services—making weather data less accessible. UCS’s @marc-alessi.bsky.social explains why NOAA matters.
Making the world deadlier, crueler, and more dangerous. It cost us almost nothing to help these people but we said F off because they’re not right-wing sex traffickers, I guess?

This regime has a decidedly different interpretation than I do of what "great" is....
Three volunteer programs coordinated through the U.S. Forest Service are likely to go by the wayside this year, with the firing of more than 30 employees at the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Long-time volunteers are mourning the dismantling of the programs that served to educate visitors.
Pete Hegseth on FOX NEWS with headline chyron that reads: Tracking Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.
