The Far Left was silent when 30,000+ Iranians were brutally slaughtered just days ago. Now they're shouting for 'no war.' Listen to what Iranians say.

Any organization that remained silent during the January killings has no credibility today. If you said nothing, then you should stay quiet now. Operation Epic Fury 🫡✌️💯

The mass murder of protesters barely elicits a shrug amongst the ‘progressive’ West, yet strikes against the very regime responsible causes no end of anger and demands for it to stop. It’s a nauseating hypocrisy from so-called humanitarians. #Iran #FreeIran #MargBarJomuriehEslami

The people in #Iran are ready for a democratic change. And we should do our best to support them in their efforts. More at Deutsche Welle: www.dw.com/en/eu-lawmak...

Right after being granted asylum, Iranian national team threw away their hijabs.

‘Why some Iranians celebrate bombs’ Worth a read the next time you find yourself dismissing Iranians from the comfort of your armchair www.iranintl.com/en/202603094... #Iran #MargBarJomuriehEslami

Just now: Iranians in Iran start chanting "death to Mojtaba" from their balconies after the announcement that he is the new supreme leader of the IRGC regime. Such chants are a death sentence. That is how much Iranians under bombardment want this terrorist regime gone and brought to swift justice.

👏👏👏

“UN urges talks” Unless those talks revolve around the regime in #Iran fucking off, there’s nothing to talk about. Unsurprisingly Trump is already getting bored though

To go from not being able to point #Iran out on a map, to suddenly feeling confident enough to post with certainty what will happen if the regime falls is wild. The casual dismissal of what Iranians themselves want and are capable of is gross, and sadly comes largely from self-styled progressives

This is Elica Le Bon 💞 Please listen carefully.

Fun fact: While some people clutch their pearls about the assassination of Khamenei, even his own sister hates the regime. Bonus fact: one of Ruhollah Khomeini’s own grandsons (Hossein) is a cleric and also detests the Islamic Republic. #Iran #RestInHellKhamenei #MargBarJomuriehEslami

Hopefully Mojtaba’s reign is painful and brief. #Iran

The night after Khamenei fell, Iran sang.

If I hear “international law” or “assassinated” or “imperialist west” one more time! Just for the record, the Islamic Regime has now attacked at least 10 countries in the region. I understand Iranian lives mean little to the world but don’t insult us by pretending this outrage is about morality.

Funny how “progressives” in the West suddenly claim to care about Iranians being killed, but all we heard was crickets when the regime massacred thousands upon thousands for protesting in January, or any of times before that. Fuck your hollow sympathy and #FuckTheIRGC

Starmer needs to get on the phone to Trump and ask him to set out a plan to protect civilians and support a democratic transition in Iran. We've seen before that bombs don't bring about democracy and regime change without a plan just leads to more chaos and suffering.

Multiple things can be true: 1. Congress must vote to stop Trump’s illegal Iran war. 2. Trump decapitated the regime but has no plan to stabilize Iran. 2. Don’t mourn fascist Khamenei. He mass murdered Iranians, collapsed the economy & exported terror & chaos. He was vile.

I hope it hurt, you decrepit piece of shit

This won’t be the end of the regime in Iran by a long shot, but if Khamenei is dead, I hope he knew what was happening, and that he felt every single bit of pain and fear at the end. He had long since lost any right to live. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

As cruel and despotic as Trump and Netanyahu are, never, ever forget the Iranian regime is one of the most violent and oppressive entities on the planet, willing to use shocking levels of brutality on a young, outward looking people to keep their illegitimate and disgusting system in place.

The worst outcome in #Iran now is if this doesn’t end with regime change, and no one can honestly believe Trump and Netanyahu give two shits about the Iranian people.

It really is incredible how *bad* at this Starmer is. Or how appallingly he's being advised. Attacking the "extreme left" because an area of Manchester elected a plumber is deranged.

Lovely stuff @greenparty.org.uk 👌

A win for Reform in #GortonAndDenton will tell you all you need to know about their voters; that no candidate or policy, however cruel or ridiculous, will ever put them off. We’ve all been let down by the big parties, but if you think voting for these creeps is the answer, then you’re an idiot.

“It’s either us or more division with Reform” never struck me as a good campaign line. At worst, Reform voters want division, at best, they’re indifferent to it. More accurate would be: “it’s either us or deliberately worse public services, and you losing your employment rights with Reform”

So FPTP means that the country is forever destined to be governed according to the incoherent ramblings of a minority of permanently angry wankers, rather than y’know, ignoring them and running things in the country’s best interests? Weird.

Imagine if you had major electoral reform, a fit and proper person test for MPs, a ban on political donations, and tougher media regulations You wouldn’t need obsessively govern for a minority group of thugs and genuine idiots. You could, y’know… actually govern for the country’s best interests.

“You can’t ban Reform just because you disagree with them” Yeah. You can. We’re not debating the weather here. This is an openly racist party of thugs, morons and tax dodgers who have made no secret of their desire to strip you of your rights, break up families, destroy the NHS, and foment division

If Reform win in 2029, we get: ICE-style thugs, mass deportations, no Equality Act, no ECHR, more racism, anti-nature and climate policies, and US-style healthcare. But what will mainstream progressives do if they win it back in 2034 to prevent that shit ever happening again? Absolutely fuck all.

They really have no clue how much damage Starmer and McSweeney have done. That bubble must be air tight. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I hope the US doesn’t attack #Iran, and that regime change comes from within, but if Trump hits them, for fucks sake don’t take that as a reason to sympathise with the Iranian government. The unelected Khamenei is evil in its purest form, and he and his gang of clerics and IRGC must be buried

Americans on Bluesky… what happens if the GOP loses badly in the midterms? Like under your system, explain the material difference it would or could make to Trump’s agenda and what ICE are doing? Could that shift in numbers in Congress(?) be a genuine tipping point in the right direction?

The protests in the US are orchestrated by Iran. Trump and ICE are actually popular and the protestors are rioters who want to destabilise the US. …offensive, right? Americans have more agency than that don’t they? Just like when people say the same kind of stuff about the Iranian protests. #Iran

This cretin blocked me, because when you call these people out for their hypocrisy, and realise that they’ll actively support any regime, no matter how oppressive and violent it is, just so long as it’s against the US, they fall apart. Western privilege and scum. Pure scum. #Iran

If you support an unelected, murderous regime of religious thugs, just because they’re against your own fascist leader in the White House, you probably haven’t learned much about the world since high school. #Iran

“Let Iran decide” …that’s exactly what the Iranian people try to do, time and time again, and are met with bullets and horrific state brutality, every time. Coddled Western apologists thinking the regime exists as a result of democratic arguments and votes is peak ignorance

The Left must accept that while the USA is an imperial monster that that does not translate into all its enemies being good guys. The ayatollah is another monster and whatever can be done to remove him after he has ordered the murders of tens of thousands and is prepared to murder far more is good.

To think so little of Iranians that you dismiss them as incapable of wanting change on their own. To be so offensive that you think we can’t look at a murderous regime and want rid of it without being directed by 🇺🇸 or 🇮🇱 “Let Iran decide” - how, when they’re met with bullets?

Only one friend who marched in the Gaza protests has reached out while the massacre in Iran unfolded. Even with the internet blackout it was clear what was happening. Any Westerner who claims to be a humanitarian but turns a blind eye to what’s happening in Iran and elsewhere is diseased

Maybe Bluesky takes this down, but every single functionary of the Iranian regime, from Khamenei’s circle of clerics to the IRGC and Basij, cannot in any scenario, be allowed to live after this. Whether by external or internal forces, when the regime falls, to a man they must be wiped out.

It’s worth printing this article just to force feed it to any Westerner dismissing the Iranian protests www.independent.co.uk/voices/iran-... It’s also worth reading in general. Anyone who backs up the regime with words from the comfort of the liberal west is scum. #Iran #Iranian #IranProtests

PSA: if you see anyone parroting the lines that the protests in #Iran are fomented by ‘foreign powers’, you’re allowed to call them a moron, because they are, and likely always will be.

Just 13k more signatures and the call for a public inquiry into Russian interference has to be debate in Parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

All very good points, which is precisely why Starmer and @teamlabouruk.bsky.social will do absolutely nothing about it www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Final note. It’s pure hopium, because I have zero faith in any meaningful amount of people actually forming a consensus that people and parties should be banned, regardless of how evidently dangerous they are. “But it’s democracy! Just because you don’t agree with them!” will be of zero comfort 😐

Unpopular opinion, but it may be that Farage as PM is the only thing that’ll force progressives to grow a spine. If he wins in 2029, and *IF* he loses the GE after that, the mainstream needs to get its act together. Ban him, ban his media, ban his backers, force them out. Zero. Fucking. Tolerance.

Wanting to deport legal immigrants with ILR is one of those “it’s okay to ban someone from politics because of their views” scenarios.
