Trump: "All you have to do is say to China, how many windmill areas do you have in China? So far they're not able to find any." China:

i think these absolutely deranged right-wingers have convinced themselves that the average American believes that it's acceptable to publicly execute nice white mothers because they have pronouns in their bios i also think this is a gross misrreading of actual public opinion

NATO is a voluntary, mutually beneficial alliance, not a protection racket or extortion scheme. If it’s forfeit land as tribute or no NATO, that effectively means no NATO. The threat itself, even if not acted upon, undermines the trust and credibility that makes the alliance function.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Don’t be intimidated.

And the winner of the Internet Comment of the Day is @12starfella.bsky.social Proving that irony is indeed alive and kicking!

USA idiots seem to think military is a police wars and use versa. Communist in Poland discovered in 1956 that if you give police onlyilitsry guns than big protest over bread, pay and rights turns into a bloody mini-uprising...

Mashhad, the birthplace of Khamenei, has seen hundreds of thousands of people tonight protesting against his regime.

I’m seeing and hearing horrible things from hospitals in Iran.

The joy of the protesters in Tehran tonight.

Tehran’s Punak neighbourhood tonight. I’m telling you, this regime doesn’t have much time left.

More like he fears he might one day need a bolt hole

What sort of asshole nation would think such a thing?

We've synced the latest video of the Renee Nicole Good killing previously published videos to help establish the full context of events.

More from Tehran tonight. The numbers are definitely up since last night, despite total internet cuts and the regime’s brutality.

Some pictures of Tehran from tonight.

Amazing how many people were fired over Kirk for 1/10th of what all these people are saying

Really hard to get any information out of Iran today. Total internet shut down by the regime.

Some videos from Tehran's Sa'adat Abad neighbourhood tonight.

Tonight in Mashhad. Everyone’s saying there are more people in the street tonight than there were last night.

🍾🎆

I still haven’t been able to contact my loved ones in Iran. I hope they’re safe; some of them are really “passionate.” I hate this regime. I hate it with every fibre of my being.

Seems to me this was likely provided to Alpha News as exculpatory evidence, but it seems to be having the opposite effect.

Hamedan, tonight, January 9. The people of Iran are not backing down.

"What was very peculiar this time was that, despite the abundant use of shotgun pellets, tear gas, and stun grenades, people were no longer afraid, did not retreat, and instead charged at the Basijis; they couldn't control the crowd."

Some sources are trying to indicate that. We need to be very careful here since confirming that gives the regime more excuse to gun down the people. No ordinary protester in Iran is armed.

Tonight, Tehran, around 22:00. One of the few videos coming out of Iran by people who use satellite internet.

Nawrocki is acting like a useful idiot for both Trump and the Kremlin here. He also knows that he received help from foreign online interference to win the presidential election. It’s like Trump being against the TikTok ban because TikTok benefits him too much. Pathetic!

We get very little news from Iran, let alone videos. Some say there are more people on the streets of Tehran than there were last night. I see many reports of confrontations between protesters and security forces. It seems the police are already hopeless, and the IRGC is trying to regain control.

Tariffs aren’t working well for Trump

Sarah Ramani is collecting and posting footage from yesterday's protests over on Instagram. It shows that the protestors were very quick to organise defences, such as building barricades, as soon as the threat of the IRGC appeared.

After holding their first meeting in months, Prime Minister Donald Tusk and opposition-aligned President Karol Nawrocki have agreed to put aside their differences in other areas in order to pursue a common line on security, including a potential peace deal in Ukraine.

Isn’t it a bit crazy that Ayatollah Khamenei posts on X almost more than I do?

My trolls on our atrocities thru this war: 2022: It didn't happen 2023: The apartment had NATO generals in it 2024: Missile fragments did it 2025: Ukraine staged it 2026: Ukraine deserves it

What are the odds Donald will actually sanction the Irish for preventing the illegal transmission of CSAM? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

It’s 2026, and a country with a population of well-educated and motivated 92 million people has no access to telephones or the internet for 24 hours, faces a severe water shortage, high inflation, high unemployment, extreme poverty, and numerous sanctions. You tell me why this regime has got to go.

Trump’s Greenland strategy is straight out of Surkov’s Russian playbook for Ukraine: paying actors, bribing locals, and threatening to use force. One of the many dangers of this imperialist and insane approach is that when it fails, it leads to war

Meanwhile Elon is normalising sexual child abuse! 🤬 bsky.app/profile/ec.e...

The failed invasion of Ukraine has made Russia even weaker than it was before 2022

LMFAO so the regime is actually blaming Israel and Trump for instigating the protests. What a bunch of decrepit senile idiots.

By the way, there’s absolutely no internet in Iran, and Khamenei’s account is still tweeting.

The speaker of the Iranian parliament Mohammad Ghalibaf and his family have apparently left the country and are fleeing to France.

An IRGC officer just went on Iranian TV and told the nation that everyone who goes out to protest tonight will be shot.
