A city in north-west Iran has run it's police and military out of town and is now being run my the people. But it's completely cut off from the rest of the world (no internet or phone lines ect), and if the government regains control they may kill everyone who lives there, especially if people outside Iran don't know what's happening.

Something like this has has happened before, with the Mahshahr massacre in 2019. Over 150 protesters were killed. We cannot let this happen again.

The city's name is Oshnavieh. Talk about it, tweet about it, make it a hashtag. Bring Oshnavieh to the public view.

The Islamic Republic: we canceled the morality police!

Iranians: so?! Does that change the fact that you have committed genocide in Kurdish cities and Zahedan? Does that restore people's eyesight that you took from them with your rubble bullets? Does that bring back to life almost 500 murdered protesters in the last 3 months, among them at least 60 children? Does that bring back to life 1500 people you massacred in 2019 and those you executed afterwards? Or the 30000 people you executed in the first decade of your rule? And everyone you've arrested, raped, tortured and executed in between simply because they didn't agree with you? Does that mean current executions are stopped? Does that mean tens of thousands of arrested protesters are free? Does that mean fired or suspended students are back to classes and can get an education? Does that mean the poverty threshold is no longer so absolutely high that even the once above average families are considered absolutely poor? Does that erase 40 years of apartheid? State racism? State misogyny? Inequality? Have you stopped bothering religious minorities and are giving them their basic human rights back? Does that mean there's no more child marriages? Legal rape? Does that mean you no longer kill and torture LGBTQ people? Does that make up for the environmental disaster you've caused in Iran? Water shortage? Bewildering fuel shortage? All the lakes and water bodies that are dry now and the jungles that has been destroyed? Currently northern jungles are on fire, are the trees restored? Does that mean you no longer execute environmental activists because they object your unscientific environment policies? Does that mean all censorships and restrictions are lifted? Does that end your meddling in other countries affairs? Does it mean you're not a bunch of thieves and murderers who know nothing about running a country? Does that make up for all the lives you've destroyed? And most importantly does that bring Mahsa Amini back to life???

It's too late for that. Iranians have been loud and clear. We won't sit down until this regime is completely and irreversibly changed. The whole government system, the constitution, and the people in powers. And those who committed crimes have to be put on trial.

(The morality police have been around under different names for almost the entirety of this regime. This is just a temporary stop. Even if the morality police is disbanded for good, compulsory hijab is still a law and it's illegal to not wear appropriate clothing. Any police force is able to arrest non hijabis since they're doing something illegal, it's not an exclusive morality police duty. Plus the morality police was just enforcing hijab in the streets. What about every governmental and private offices and institutions? They all have to enforce mandatory hijab on both their employees and costumers So this news means literally nothing. West media should research these things better before publishing misleading informations)

I strongly recommend everyone to go to #MahsaAmini in twitter and read iranians tweets. Like, I strongly recommend it. I even put the link to make it easier for you. Just click on it.

Elena Setién — Unfamiliar Minds (Thrill Jockey)

Unfamiliar Minds by Elena Setien

“There is a solitude of space,” wrote Emily Dickinson, a poet who would have had very little difficulty with the idea of social distancing. It’s no wonder, really, that the Basque songwriter Elena Setién found in Dickinson a kindred spirit when she found herself locked down during the pandemic. Here was a poet able to find epiphany in very confined circumstances, to transmute short, unadorned words into striking spiritual images, to channel simplicity into the oddest directions. How could that not appeal to an idiosyncratic artist like Setién, prone to ethereal melodies and cryptic musings, now alone with her thoughts and her instruments? And so, Dickinson became a kind of muse for Unfamiliar Minds, a hovering presence over the whole of this fragile, lovely interior monologue set to music.
