Meet Nahal Toosi, she writes for POLITICO and works closely with NIAC, islamic republic’s notorious lobby organization in the US. Her job is simple: whitewash the regime and publish lies

She is one of the hundreds of regime “exports” aka Saderati as we call them in Iran who are sent to western media outlets and colleges with the only purpose of silencing Iranian voices and saving the regime’s face

This is why you should listen to Iranian voices. Your favorite mainstream media (Reuters, Guardian NY Post ect) is filled with regime propagandists counting on your naivety

Was it… Eylon Levi? AIPAC? Your local rabbi?

Nope!

This is straight from the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI) website. They are a non-partisan, non-profit group of Iranian Americans working to achieve secular democracy in Iran (that means no to the IR and no to the MEK too).

I highly recommend you check out their Instagram, YouTube, etc to show support.

And, as always, let Kamala Harris your local representatives know you want to see more of NUFDI and way less of NIAC (booo NIAC tomatoes boo).

ReThinking Foreign Policy is one of 89 organizations that issued a joint statement in support of Rep. Ilhan Omar and condemning the party line House vote to remove her form the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC). For some background on what has been a relentless attack on Rep. Omar since she took her place in the House, check this piece out. Also see this one, which includes a lengthy Twitter…

Why NASA Wants to Send a Submarine to Titan

“Saturn's largest moon, Titan, boasts a thick atmosphere, complex weather cycle, and seas shaped by waves and tidal currents — much like Earth.

But you wouldn't recognize it. That thick atmosphere is a dense layer of orange smog that swaddles the moon. The weather cycle causes rain to only downpour once every several hundred years. And those seas are full of liquid hydrocarbons in the form of methane and ethane.

The paradox — plus Titan's potential to sustain exotic life — has encouraged scientists to dream of better probing the moon. Although NASA's Cassini spacecraft has flown past it several times since 2004 — and even dropped the Huygens probe onto Titan's surface in January 2005 — scientists are still eager to get their feet wet.

The latest idea is to send a submarine to explore Titan's alien seas. The mission study, with funding from NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC), an initiative for projects by scientists who think outside the box, is in its infancy.

"We do these really advanced almost-science-fiction — but never actually-science-fiction — studies that are meant to show what might be possible in the future," says NIAC's Program Executive Jason Derleth.

A Titan sub fits that bill perfectly.

A World Similar and Yet Utterly Bizarre From Europa's subsurface liquid ocean to Enceladus's plumes of liquid water that shoot above the icy moon's south pole, the outer solar system is rich with moons begging to be explored. But Titan is too unique to pass up.
