. in "strongly" opposing Garcetti for amb. to #India, laces into him over his claim he didn't know that his top staffer was sexually harassing people. "For mayor Garcetti to claim he didn't know what was going on, defies reason."

Barbara Slavin, who routinely smiles for pictures with regime officials and poses with photos of Khomeini, thinks she is more informed about matters in Iran than the dissidents in the ground. #IranLobby is full of "I know what's best for you better than you do" condescension.

Unfortunately a lot of folks in #Iran do not understand the work of Iran scholars outside the country. Their views have been twisted by clips out of context posted by the IRI and by some outside Iran looking to advance their careers and agendas. Unity is key.

#SahandNourMohammadZadeh has been on hunger strike for five days protesting the decision of the Islamic Republic to kill him. Sahand has been sentenced to death for setting a trash can on fire, and his precious life is in danger. Be his voice. #StopExecutionInIran

Much higher return on "investment" than Qatar got from the World Cup and Qatar had to spend $300 billion!
Quote Tweet
Morocco is probably the biggest winner at this World Cup. Strong soft power, no PR needed, was not even expecting to go that far, and yet the return on investment was too high to handle. In one day I had 7 people ask me what's the best spot there for a vacation.

For those of you who have a fear of heights, BASE jumping, sky diving etc, how much would you have to be paid to do this? You’re not concerned for your safety, there won’t be a scratch on you. But how much money would help you push past your fear?

As the Iranian regime hands out death sentences and lengthy prison terms to protesters, it's worth bearing in mind: Iran's judiciary isn't independent and doesn't value due process, Protesters cannot choose their own lawyers and are routinely tortured for forced confessions.
