Out beyond ideas of Left & Right, there is a field, I'll meet you there.

1. BREAKING via AP The U.S. is having its worst year for measles spread in more than three decades, with a total of 1,288 cases nationally and another six months to go in 2025.

تأکید روی کم سن و سال بودن عایشه برای برجسته‌تر کردن باکره بودنش هنگام ازدواج با محمد [بر خلاف سایر همسرانش] رواج پیدا کرد. با در نظر گرفتن میانه‌ی سن ازدواج زنان در اون زمان و مکان، و این‌که قول عایشه رو در ابتدا به شخص دیگری داده بودن، نمی‌شه هم گفت که مثلاً در ۲۰ و اندی سالگی به میل خودش وصلت کرد. ۱/

Almost five years have passed since we moved to the Netherlands, yet it often feels as though my mind never left Iran. Identity, I've come to realize, is something far beyond a residence permit or a passport.

فکر می‌کنم مهم‌ترین فرق این‌جا با توییتر این بود که این همه بحث شد کسی نگفت «اصلا کی گفته حالا دموکراسی چیز خوبیه؟» :)))

Even when well-informed, I still research/search around the topics I talk about to avoid spewing nonsense. But many discussions disappoint; people just seek to satisfy confirmation bias. That's why I often try to avoid discussions these days, especially in social media.

Let op wat hier echt gebeurt: Yesilgoz gebruikt dit moment om het wetsvoorstel om ‘verheerlijking van terrorisme’ strafbaar te stellen te pluggen, waarbij ze antisemitisme expliciet gelijkstelt aan terrorisme. Dit is geen reflectie en geen excuus. Dit is een beleidsnota.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social eating biryani with his hands in the middle of the park—if that happened in a normal world, it would be the kind of obnoxious behaviour/stunt you'd want to slap him for. But a normal world wouldn't tolerate over two years of genocide, so we'll let it slide.

برای بابام این sms اومده: * نمی‌دونم منظورش از «ثبت سوابقی از این شماره در صفحات مجازی رژیم صهیونیستی» چیه.

دنیا یه وطن به ما بدهکاره واقعاً.

Iranian leftist dissidents are as detached as the ultra-nationalists from both reality and the Iranian society. If you're "surprised" by the support "MIGA" is getting in your circles and surroundings, it's time to take a step back and think hard about the path that has led you to this stage.

استکبار جهانی فرصت این‌که کنار هر سانتریفیوژ تو فردو یه آخوند بذاریم و روی همه‌اش سیمان بریزیم رو ازمون گرفت :(

ایرانی‌های خارج از کشور بعد از آخوند بزرگترین دشمن ایرانی‌های داخلن واقعاً. یعنی صدمه‌ای که این «دایسپورا»ی ایرانی می‌زنن به ایران، اسرائیل به سختی می‌تونه باهاش رقابت کنه. این خامنه‌ای می‌گفت اینایی که از ایران می‌رن نخبه نیستن؟ سال به سال دارن این نخبه‌ها بهم ثابت می‌کنن حرف چندان بی‌ربطی هم نزده بوده.

ایرانی‌های خارج هر جا هستن یک قدم برن عقب‌تر.

تو این اینترنشنال دهن که وا می‌کنن، آشغال و کثافته که بیرون می‌ریزه. چشماشون برق می‌زنه وقتی از جنگ دارن حرف می‌زنن. باز صد رحمت به bbc. حداقل یه سری اخلاقیات و رفتارای حرفه‌ای رو رعایت می‌کنن و سوالای بهتری می‌پرسن.

You know what's really funny? Every Israeli strike against Iran has always been called preemptive by the Israelis and somehow they also claim that Iran attacked them first 😂

I see nothing but further escalation and mutual destruction. Again shows why you need to have nukes in an American run world.

Zeer zorgwekkende berichten uit het Midden-Oosten, waar een nieuwe oorlog dreigt te ontketenen. Grootschalige aanvallen van zowel Israël als Iran kennen niets dan verliezers. Laat de internationale gemeenschap nu zo snel mogelijk in actie komen om te de-escaleren.

I just hope this 6th round on Sunday is the last round of any negotiations between IR and US. Regardless of the outcome. I can't put up with this shit anymore.

It's crazy that this man has not been thrown into jail for endorsing such an unlawful act. The crazier thing would be that some Dutch people are gonna vote for this clown.

Why is the onus on protestors to be "peaceful" when the State brings violence? Why is "rioting" used to malign only the people fighting violence initiatied by the State and its agents and not those agents and that State? Why isn't ICE described as rioting?

And once again, Kudos to Greta Thunberg.

Everything about Israel is undemocratic. The country itself, the foreign aids it receives, its exemption of international laws, everything.

Het Keulemans-Noorlander Syndroom

نمی‌دونم! این که اخیرا صدا از آدما درباره غزه دراومده (مخصوصا این اروپاییا و کلا سفیدای غربی و مخصوصا آدم مشهوراشون) باعث یه خشم بیشتری میشه در من. خوبه که صداشون دراومده‌ها ولی این همه مدت که همه رو با چماق ساکت می‌کردن پس چی؟ حتما باید یه اتفاق بیوفته و لیبل بخوره تا ثابت بشه که حقیقت چی بوده؟

Stand van zaken #Wilders #leegte

It happened!

ICYMI By me: The carbon footprint of the first 15 months of Israel’s war on Gaza will be greater than the annual planet-warming emissions of a hundred individual countries, exacerbating the global climate emergency on top of the huge civilian death toll www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

"There are two genders: Fascists and Anti-fascists" - Judith Butler

Look at this distinguished gentleman 🐈

Seeing weasels suddenly crawling out of their holes and finally calling a genocide a genocide only shows how lost Israel is.

Oh it would be lovely to see the Dutch cabinet collapse 🥹

The Trump administration on Thursday revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students, marking a sharp escalation in the ongoing back-and-forth between the White House and the university. cnn.it/4kqKTNj

Today and tomorrow I'll be attending #KotlinConf in Copenhagen. I'll write down some of my observations and notes in this thread.

Regardless of affordability, the prices in Copenhagen make no sense at all 💀

I thought the Scandinavian countries would change my mind, but after visiting Oslo and now Copenhagen, I have to say I've never visited any city that would even come close to Dutch cities with respect to urban planning.

❤️❤️❤️🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️ Nederland is saying no to genocide! 100.000 mensen gingen vandaag de straat op om te demonstreren tegen genocide en tegen de steun van ons kabinet aan genocidaal Israël. Free Palestine! ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️

Good morning 🐈🐾

Trump shaking hands with Jolani low-key reminds me of how the US backed the mullahs in toppling the Shah.

Monday.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

Blocking both the Red Sea & the Ben Gurion Airport is gonna be the new normal? How many missiles did Iran give to the Yemenis anyway? Been under heavy bombardment for more than a year and they keep striking like nothing has happened.

Mood.

Satellite images of the Rajaei Port explosion show 2 large craters caused by the blasts, which have destroyed the concrete floor of the dock, with signs of damage visible over a wide area. The intensity of explosion and damages likely indicate a higher death toll than what officials have reported.

Unpopular opinion: White people converting to Islam is cultural appropriation.

This other one in Tehran makes it even more obvious.

Ancelotti at Madrid this season has been so "تو خراب کردی همه چیزو خودت".

There's no way the port explosion was an 'accident'.

The first country that will collapse as a result of tensions between India & Pakistan is the UK actually.
