Though "supporting women's leadership"... <remembers Claudine Gay and Larry Summers>

They aren’t wrong… 😅

Other things Yazd is known for: bicycles (apparently just about everyone in Yazd rides a bicycle, which I find adorable), silk, and cotton candy (we invented cotton candy! Also ice cream!)

Windcatcher in Yazd

Because Yazd is very old and very hot, they came up with a lot of cool early technology to deal with heat. Yazd is known as Shahr-e Badgirha, the City of Windcatchers. It also has a tremendous and very old irrigation system that is going strong to this day, even as the world gets hotter and dryer.

The not-moosies had six more imams. They believe the twelfth imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, was occulted (aka “he didn’t die, Allah just whisked him up to Heaven and will give him back before the Day of Resurrection,” which is also what Muslims and some Coptic Christians believe happened to Isa/Jesus.)

The whole thread is funny and sadly true about most American cities.

Thank you! And thanks for these threads - informative and entertaining :)

Just to keep track, he was stabbed by one of his followers who didn't want peace with the Sunnis?

Thanks 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I am so sorry.

The guy does look like Mr Potter.

YEONSOO GO: 20-YEAR-OLD KOREAN AMERICAN PASTOR'S DAUGHTER AND PURDUE UNIVERSITY STUDENT WITH LEGAL VISA- ABDUCTED AND DETAINED BY ICE

TAE HEUNG "WILL" KIM: KOREAN AMERICAN PH.D. STUDENT & MEDICAL RESEARCHER AT TEXAS A&M, LAWFUL PERMANENT U.S. RESIDENT - ABDUCTED AND DETAINED BY ICE

A growing number of the new victims of Trump’s cruel, illegal ICE terror are young Asian Americans with LEGAL STATUS who have grown up their entire lives in this country and are being swept up for minor infractions or technicalities.

ICE crackdown imperils Afghans who aided U.S. war effort, lawyers say Advocates fear President Donald Trump’s ambitious deportation plan jeopardizes Afghan interpreters and other allies who worked for U.S. troops during the war.

A disgrace.

“One former interpreter for U.S. forces in Afghanistan was detained by immigration agents after he showed up for a routine green card appointment. A second was arrested just minutes after attending his first asylum hearing in San Diego.”

WaPo covered it in 2019!

Democrats shunned a top firm over its controversial fundraising practices. It hasn’t gone away. Mothership Strategies was fiercely criticized for its aggressive fundraising tactics and high fees. It’s found new clients.

"the leadership PAC of Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) paid the firm a little over $765,000 — about two-thirds of the total money it raised in 2023."

Honest Adam!

I probably should not because of desi solidarity, but I can't get over reading that Congresswoman Jayapal gave almost a million dollars to Mothership.

Keep it for the next time you take over a social media site.

I initially thought that was you!

700,000 dollars for a 1294 square foot 3 bedroom house on a normal little side street. Today I talked to a working but homeless woman in tears saying her only prayer to god was a tiny space where no one would ask her to leave.

The people who did this to our country should be forever ashamed.

Oops.

A democratically elected government choosing to provide refuge to asylum seekers is somehow not approved by the "native population"??
F*** these racists.

DG sets??

Heathrow lounge, good times.
