Please don't get all your political info from Tumblr. If you want to learn about Palestine, please read scholars and poets and activists, do not get your information from me. I post quotes and articles as supplementary, not as substitute--even following Palestinian Tumblr or Instagram users who post cool infographics multiple times a day is not a substitute for education.
We are all doing our best, but please use the resources that are available.

if people actually boycotted Eurovision that be amazing
But countries didnt pull out in 2024 or 2025 but better late than never I guess, bare minimum EU, you get a small clap, but they want to be treated like they doing something revolutionary
but focus of post: why am I see people blaming Americans and saying they can’t boycott anything when it’s majority european viewership. like, I understand the American dislike but stay on topic and focus your energy on the right people. Americans barely know what Eurovision is. This is just weird.
it kind of pisses me off when someone European (FRENCH, FRENCH, DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHO IT IS) talks about anything relating to colonization because like, ho, you didn't expérience any of the bad side effects colonization brings, unless you count becoming richer a bad thing
maybe people that live in a country that partook in colonization should shut the fuck up? just a thought
OP IS BRAZILIAN, WHICH DOESN'T STOP ME FROM BEING WRONG BUT IT DOES STOP ME FROM BEING FRENCH
This was gonna be a comment but since it’s so long:
France literally supported a genocide against the Tutsi in 1994 while that same year opened a HUMAN zoos of trafficted Ivorians victims, including children. Still controls 14 nations economy through CFA franc system. Have done coups and assassinate leaders in Western Africa that want to move away from France and started vaccinating their citizens and build infrastructure. Also take their gold and power their nuclear power plants with uranium mines there while deploying troops to guard them and keep exploiting while the spoils are sent directly to FR (btw French solders been accused for years of rape to women and children but big news don’t cover that) and last year Macron said the countries that are currently trying to kick out France are “ungrateful and should be thankful for deploying troops in their region” cause they wouldn’t be a country. So they should be thankful for colonization. So many people ignore or don’t care what happens in the continent.
I saw someone say the French empire was not as bad as America as if America didn’t learn what they do now FROM those empires and America is in the spotlight rn. The european empire felled but not really.
The problem with isff and her friends (or Western Europeans in general) who yell about “yanks” they act like they have the high chair and are intellectuals while not even learning their own history or get out their bubble. It is arrogance with a superiority complex. This is not even mentioning isff and her community pass racist shit they never apologize for and ignore. But how crazy does one have to agree with a post and DEFEND that’s native and black people deserve to be equally killed cause they are complicit in the actions of their colonizers.
I dislike this community and ignorant racist people.
-Constant use of words like "lynching" "social murder", comparing the situation to MLK, "blood libel" which is used to talk about oppression of Jewish people. This is not everything, there is far more me and people have seen.
Lastly, genocide? Against people who disagreed pedophiles are not oppressed? That in no way shape or form they are like the LGBT community? How could you even throw that word around with what's going on in the world at this moment.
These people care more about the rights of pedophiles and if you see them suddenly speak about actually oppressed people especially poc, it is a performative act. Die-hard pedophile glazers that defends them up and down constantly and do not have this same energy for others. Interesting, isn't it?

Iran: In response to protest against repression and wanting change, Iranian authorities have committed the deadliest two-day protest massacre in history.

Over 30,000-50,000+ Iranians have been killed on January 8-9 crackdown, more were wounded, blinded, or paralyzed. Iran has cut all internet access to prevent people in Iran from sharing information with the outside world. There has been unlawful use of force and prohibited weapons, mass arrests, including of children. They are also subjecting many of those detained to enforced disappearance and incommunicado detention.
Stories have come out of security forces entering hospitals taking away wounded patients, one from two nurses of young man that being transferred to an ambulance when a security agent suddenly entered the vehicle and, in front of them, killed him by firing two consecutive shots. Families forced to pay large sums described as “bullet fees” in exchange for receiving the bodies of their loved ones.
Below are sections from amnesty.org. Please read the original page as it has a detailed and informative breakdown and record of the information that is available currently. This post will never be able to show all the atrocities and the ones that have yet to be known.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, denounced protesters as “rioters” who should be “put in their place”
Why are people in Iran protesting?
-The protests began on 28 December 2025, after a sharp collapse of Iran’s currency. This happened amid soaring inflation, state mismanagement of essential services, and worsening living conditions. The protests started with shopkeepers in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar going on strike and closing shops.
Soon, more people joined and protests turned into mass nationwide street demonstrations calling for the end of the Islamic Republic system. Protesters are demanding fundamental change and transition to a new system of government that respects peoples’ human rights and dignity.
How did the authorities respond to protests?
-Senior state officials labelled protesters as “rioters” and vowed a “firm” crackdown. On 3 January 2026, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, denounced protesters as “rioters” who should be “put in their place”.
Security forces responded with lethal force to disperse protesters, unlawfully using force, firearms and other prohibited weapons, as well as conducting sweeping mass arrests, including of children as young as 14 years old. They are also subjecting many of those detained to enforced disappearance and incommunicado detention, putting them at serious risk of torture and other ill-treatment. Since 8 January, authorities cut internet accessto hide their crimes, and to prevent people in Iran from sharing information with the outside world.
Despite restrictions, Amnesty International has verified evidence showing that authorities have carried out mass unlawful killings on an unprecedented scale amid the internet blackout. Heavily armed security forces are also conducting patrols and establishing checkpoints across the country. Authorities have deployed armed units in the streets to enforce nighttime curfews since 9 January, sending a message that anyone gathering or stepping outside after curfew will face lethal force.
What happened in Kahrizak?
-Evidence from verified videos and eyewitness accounts reveal that security forces carried out mass unlawful killings across Tehran province.
On 10 January, distressing footage began to emerge of a makeshift morgue set up in an outbuilding of the Legal Medicine Organization (a state forensic institute) in Kahrizak, a city near Tehran, after the facility’s morgue started to overflow. Videos showed distraught families seeking to identify their loved ones among the body bags. Amnesty International analysis of this evidence identified at least 205 distinct body bags at the site.
The next day, new video footage as uncovered, showing a screen inside the facility displaying photos of the deceased, with a changing numerical counter. In the video the counter reaches 250.
Why have the Iranian authorities imposed an internet shutdown?
-Iranian authorities have imposed an internet and telecommunications shutdown since 8 January to conceal their crimes. Once the blackout was in place, security forces carried out massacres against protesters. The shutdown makes it harder for victims, journalists, and human rights organizations to conduct in-depth interviews, document violations and preserve evidence. State media outlets, including those affiliated with the IRGC and judiciary, as well as officials like the head of judiciary, continue to have internet access and post propaganda on their social media channels aimed at instilling fear among the population.
Blanket internet shutdowns like the one in Iran are sometimes used by states to hide human rights violations. They also amount to human rights violations themselves. Access to the internet is a basic human right and is indispensable, especially in times of protests.
This is not the first time Iranian authorities have used internet shutdowns to throttle communications and access to information. In November 2019, security forces unlawfully killed hundreds of protesters and bystanders during five days of protests while authorities imposed a near total internet shutdown. Internet shutdowns were also imposed during the Woman Life Freedom uprising of 2022, when security forces unlawfully killed hundreds of protesters and bystanders. The current internet shutdown is the longest ever imposed by the authorities.
How many protesters have been arrested?
-According to reports from state-affiliated media published on 16 January 2026, the authorities have arrested thousands of people in relation to the protests. Independent reports and other information received by Amnesty International indicate that tens of thousands of people, including children, have been arbitrarily detained.
The Iranian authorities have carried out sweeping arrests across the country in recent days, seizing people during night‑time home raids, at checkpoints, in workplaces, and from hospitals. In addition to protesters, among those arrested are university students, human rights defenders, lawyers, journalists, and members of ethnic and religious minorities.
Detainees’ families, activists and journalists have told Amnesty International that the authorities are routinely refusing to provide any information about the fate and whereabouts of many of those detained, thereby subjecting them to enforced disappearance and placing them at heightened risk of torture and other ill-treatment.
Informed sources report that security forces have subjected detainees to torture and other ill-treatment during arrest and in detention, including through beatings, sexual violence, threats of summary executions, and deliberate denial of adequate food, water and medical care.
The authorities have also broadcast dozens of forced “confessions” of detainees on state media.

"Anyway like for the same reason that we shouldnt let being trans be decided by cis people, I don't think any of you have any authority in shaping this movement. The reason you act this way is plainly because you believe there is no such movement that should exist, which frankly a reactionary opinion."
-With this >newest shared post of isff< I've remembered this capture from a supporter of hers.
It is incredibly ironic she says "being trans shouldn't be decided by cis people" cause guess what? PEDOPHILES SHOULDN'T SHAPE YOUTH LIBERATION. Pedophiles should have 0 word on children's problems, they have a BIAS.
Children should not interact in nsfw spaces or be friends with pedophiles, especially the ones who have a history of being molesters and abusers. NO, the abusers and molesters do not deserve a community and should not be easily forgiven as if its a "past mistake that doesn't define them" and then be able to freely to speak to minors. All these people defends of minors is to AID THEM to get closer to them somehow.
The newest post she reblogged is very open and is aimed towards minors, but don't be fooled! Not just minors, pedophiles as well. It is almost like a dog whistle, to find other sick people so they have a community. MANY in isff circle and supporters who like and reblog all the time been shown to have similar stances to the post before this, there been worse. ISFF and others agenda has been obvious from the very start to me, I don't know what it will take for people to see it.
Hate towards trans men and intersex people, racism, now pedophilia, people seem to excuse these. I follow people who reblogged posts and heard of the situation and never look into it and they genuinely just heard "its transmisogyny again", and I still see them reblog those big tumblr blogs that shown support and continually defend isff directly or people like lily orchard/cd-call and patrcia taxxon, who HAS committed things.
I dislike this community and ignorant racist people.
-Constant use of words like "lynching" "social murder", comparing the situation to MLK, "blood libel" which is used to talk about oppression of Jewish people. This is not everything, there is far more me and people have seen.
