“Do something. The bombing is terrifying and so close. Write on Facebook, on Instagram. We’re dying …”

Omg truly so funny. He says “Scotch-Irish” and “Italian” are examples of ”Anglo-derived culture.” Do Anglos even know what Anglo means??? Is Jeremy Carl an Anglo??? I’m really truly fascinated by this. Jeremy, a CRT class would help understand your own project.

Much like Pompeo's infamous "Mossad in the protests" tweet, publicizing this type of info serves one primary purpose - incentivizing the security services to act harsher and with greater violence, as they perceive every protest act as a possible covert US or Israeli sabotage operation.

“Users can also bet on the date Israel next strikes Gaza or Lebanon, the number of countries Israel will strike in February, and progress in Gaza peace talks. There are bets on U.S. strikes on Iran and whether the U.S. or Israel will strike Iran first.”

This is really, really dark. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Ukraine has been hugely instructive, because it really reveals the realm of the possible and how racism and misguided U.S. priorities have limited it. Turns out you can just immediately sanction aggressors. & why shouldn’t U.S. partners have transport planes for Gaza or Sudan, given access issues?

Truly don’t know where to start with the Epstein files because it’s millions of documents, many horrible. The most useful source I’ve found so far is r/Epstein. I can only imagine what happened to some of these women when they were children, or younger adults.

First, the Trump administration said it detained Leqaa Kordia for an immigration violation. Then, they used her participation in a pro-Palestine Columbia protest to justify it. Now, they say she supports Hamas because she sent money to family in Palestine. She has been detained for nearly a year:

We make fun of activist college kids in the US but student movements really are the birthplace of most progressive change. It's why brutalizing them with the police is one of the first things any shitty government does.

I also love the little bit in the intro about another failed public project, where someone from the city wanted her to do an art installation because they thought there weren't enough made by women, and it ended up failing because some men involved wanted to underpay her

Ok folks, Akram shouldn’t have to ask for help at all but he’s got big expenses in trying to make his HOME liveable for his sibs & mama. Anything at all helps! Help this family get some shelter! chuffed.org/project/help...

If you were to run down a list of all the things distinctive about the United States in contrast to Old World Europe, most of it is stuff we instead have in common with Latin America. That's not some woke novelty, it's a deeply embedded centuries-old aspect of our culture and national identity.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

1. Would like to ask for a big favor. Would love for you to please follow two Iranian women reporters who were just laid off from the Washington Post. I will link to their latest investigation in the post below, but please follow @ntabrizy.bsky.social and @yjtorbati.bsky.social!!

BREAKING | Iran has sentenced 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to more than 7 additional years in prison, her lawyer said, after she launched a hunger strike on Feb. 2. The Revolutionary Court in Mashhad imposed 6 years for “gathering and collusion,” plus 18 months for propaganda...

For Palestinians and non-Palestinians, the Institute for the Understanding of Anti-Palestinian Racism is conducting a survey. This org is one of the few, which in my opinion, has a correct analytical understanding of the discourse surrounding Palestine. Please share widely.

There seems to be a class of Iranian hardliners who think their mistake after the June war, and before it, was that they didn’t become more like North Korea or China and clamp down on all opposition. Amid the dead-end of Iranian politics under the IRI, it seems some are implementing this fantasy.

Supporters of the deposed Iranian shah's son, Reza Pahlavi, are reportedly going around to Iranian establishments in the UK and Europe and threatening them with violence if they do not display a photo of Reza P or the flag associated with the monarchy. Psycho behavior. x.com/Ehsan_HoZa/s...

I wasn’t born in an Iranian prison, but it’s remarkable how similar of an op-ed I could write, using my family’s personal experiences to justify practically anything. www.wsj.com/opinion/i-wa...

There seems to be a substantial crackdown against reformist political figures in Iran. At least 4 people political figures, some of whom have previously served in govt, have reportedly been arrested by the IRGC for fomenting "disorder" x.com/IranObserver...

"twitter is a nazi bar" this place is a country club.

palestinians' accounts continue to get suspended on here because white people levy blanket accusations like the claim that palestinians are mostly southeast asian scammers with not much more than timestamps, so if it's all the same to the discourse on here i'm going to cross-post on other platforms.

MERIP has a long, storied history in independent media and Middle East Studies. When I took charge nearly two years ago, the org had made some shrewd decisions to try and wade through a challenging environment of the late-teens/early 2020s. We closed the DC office in 2017 and went virtual. 1/

From years of observation, my opinion of Cameron and his ilk is that the only real issue they have with the Islamic Republic is that they’re not the ones in charge of repression and killing.

My latest: Without anti-authoritarianism, 'anti-imperialism' is just conservatism with left-wing aesthetics www.hauntologies.net/p/iranian-pr...

Most of the time whether implicitly or explicitly what is being said is that there was a ceasefire for Israeli Jews.

Yeah it is funny to see a bunch of people say there was a ceasefire on Oct 6th 2023 when a 21st century record number of Palestinians had already been killed by the army and the settlers in the oPt from January 1st 2023 to that day.

www.theatlantic.com/internationa... a beautiful must read if you care about humanity and love movies (Gift article) Thank you Arash Azizi for writing this and @theatlantic.com for publishing it

The Quran itself also states explicitly throughout that the Prophet’s message is a continuation of Moses’s. It’s part of the black letter doctrine of the faith. I guess John Podhoretz is just now learning about Islam.

Bluesky is getting absolutely roasted on Twitter for their treatment of Palestinians which is really ruining their snarky meme campaign to get people over here and couldn’t happen to a worse company

Also Joe, Kamala and their staff knew this the entire time. As in, they knew from October 2023 that what they were doing was not popular. A WH press staffer told me in fall 2023 that they personally believed Netanyahu was genocidal.

“It would not be too cynical to think that the US doesn’t really care about the Iranian people. It is just using the moment of the regime’s weakness to extract the concessions for its own and Israel’s security that it has long sought.”

Does anyone have a blocklist for dog pfps

the voters of a rich suburban district outside New York City just voted for a Sanders/AOC-endorsed labor organizer who wants to abolish ICE

Italian man investigated over claims he paid to shoot people during 1990s siege of Sarajevo

Imagine if by 2030 35 million American citizens lived in Venezuela by 2030 and 80% of our military was stationed there and also the Secretary of the Treasury and deputy defense minister lived in Caracas.

Nice!

Now if that's what the Iranian people want then who am I to judge them? Their starvation would end & their oppression would stop. I guess any history lessons from the Iraq war will have to be learned the hard way by other nations because some situations must be lived through in order to be believed.

I am sure that the Iranian people, totally devastated by the West-imposed sanctions and brutally oppressed by their regime, would want to get rid of the regime at any price. This is 100% understandable and having been there myself I cannot possibly blame them.

I wish Americans would constantly be exposed to people who don’t even speak English debating and analyzing how best to intervene in their country and turn their homes to glass. Ideally they are discussing this in Spanish or Chinese. Would really help us grow as a culture I think.

Okay I know I’ve repudiated standpoint theory in the past but I am temporarily imposing a cordon sanitaire on myself because too many non-Iranians are too stupid or racist to converse intelligently right now, regardless of viewpoint.

من قشنگ اون روزای عراق قبل از جنگ رو یادمه تلوزیون نشون میداد مردم با فرقون پول میبرند نون بخرند. آمریکا هم حمله کرد ما شاهین شهر بودیم حتی شیرینی دادن خوزستانی هم یادمه. و بقیه اش رو هم همه میدونیم. اگر ناراحت نشید من از تکرار اون روزا برای ایران خیلی میترسم

SHUT UP!!!!! SERIOUSLY, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Some Iranians know these racist Europeans don’t give a single fuck about what happens to Iran. They just think the stakes are such that they can do some kind of controlled demolition, and enjoy the fruits later.

Oh I’m so glad a self-described “Nordic European“ on here is so concerned about freedom for Iranians that they’re arguing an “internal rebellion” in Iran is a good thing because it would result in fewer weapons transfers to Russia in Ukraine. Thank you very much for your concern!

خوشحالند دیگه تصور بر اینکه آمریکا توان جنگ طولانی رو نداره میاد ۳ سوت آخوند رو میزنه و میره. بعدشم پهلوی میاد انتخابات دموکراتیک و عادلانه برقرار میکنه ایران گلستان میشه

Poetic how the Epstein files basically prove the theories of Iran’s authorities at precisely the time they are least competent and most discredited.
