More footage from the huge anti regime demonstrations by Iranians in Manchester
The mainstream media completely ignores this for some reason
We Iranians despise the terrorist Islamic republic regime and we will fight until the evil regime is no more

As outlandish as this might seem, Trump has now extended clemency to almost all of the Republican congressmen convicted of felonies in the 2

With Donald Trump in the White House, one of the most important times of the week is Friday night. That’s when the president and his team have an unnerving habit of announcing news they hope the public won’t notice.
Take this past Friday night, for example. The New York Times reported:
President Trump has pardoned Stephen E. Buyer, a former Republican representative from Indiana who was convicted of insider trading in 2023. The pardon for Mr. Buyer was endorsed by current and former Republican lawmakers, including Senators Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and former House Speaker John Boehner, according to the proclamation, which was dated June 4.
The Nazis weren't mindless killers who gave no thought to what they were doing. They had very elaborate and internally coherent (though of course, not aligning with reality) theories that they'd decided mattered more than people's lives. In that aspect, they were very similar to modern-day leftists who ignore how much Iranians have suffered and died under the Islamic Regime just because their theories matter more to them. They need to abandon those dogmatic theories and be practical for once, or these very theories shall turn them into monsters without them even realising it, if they haven't already.
Leftists need to touch grass.
a prayer of gratitude
[ID: image of hebrew text detailing the bracha (jewish blessing) for seeing exceptionally strange-looking people or animals:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהֵוָהֵ, אֱלהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעולָם מְשַנֶּה הַבְּרִיּוֹת Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, m’shaneh ha-briyot. Blessed are You, HaShem* our G-d, Sovereign of the Universe, who makes creatures different.]
Hey fellas is it colonialist for an ethnic group to want free, unrestricted access to their ancient sacred sites? Is it anti-colonialist for descendents of invading empires to deny them access under the threat of violence? asking for a friend.
Too vague. Is this "friend" Jewish? Are the colonizers Arab? it vastly changes the equation.
Yes actually, this post was about the Temple Mount, from which Jews are barred from prayer, relegated to the ruins of the outer wall. The Jordanian authorities who control the site consider Jewish prayer on the Mount as an act of war.
Y'know, plus the fact that a mosque is built over the ruins of the Temple.
I cannot put into words how utterly repulsive it is to have seen headline after headline after headline on articles shared on social media about the attack on Temple Israel synagogue centring the fact that the attacker had lost family members in an Israeli airstrike, as if that somehow justified targeting Jews on the other side of the world who have nothing to do with the Israeli government.
He targeted a Jewish preschool while children were inside, for fuck sake.
The lengths to which people will go to shrug their shoulders and excuse and justify violent antisemitism and attacks on innocent people is reprehensible.
Both those family members were card carrying, uniform wearing, active duty Hezbollah terrorists, btw.
imagine not being a trans man or transmasc person and then telling trans guys that the euphoria we feel about masculinity is in fact actually toxic and we need to stop loving masculinity
something something forced detransitioning but make it leftist
i feel like i grew up in that tiny perfect window of time where feminism was all “not all masculinity is toxic masculinity” “freedom of choice is the most important goal” “man hatred is reactionary and is not helpful towards reaching a more feminist future” and i internalized all of this and now shit’s gone wild
That's what my hippy feminist parents taught me, along with how the patriarchy forces men to conform in cruel and unfair ways too, and now I get people half my age telling me that's not really feminism.
yeah! like i’m nearing 30 (which isn’t old no matter what the kids say) and i’ve got fuckin 15 year olds in my notes and inbox acting like they know what’s what about feminism while falling into the same radfem rabbit holes we were warned about ourselves when we were their age.
i really don’t want to be all “old man yells at cloud” about this but i feel like there’s very few teenagers today who are willing to listen to anyone older than them about what feminism is. so now we have teenage terfs and radfems who think joking about killing men is the definition of feminism. when feminism is SUPPOSED to be about gender-based liberation for anyone negatively impacted by the patriarchy.
Hot take, but even if you ARE punching up (instead of punching sideways at a group that is in the same boat as you), there's a limit to what you can say without sounding like a violent facist but woke this time.
Making fun of a group of people that are privileged over you is one thing, but wishing non-cartoonish violence and death on them ("they should fall off a cliff" vs. "they should be wiped out"), wishing sexual violence on them, dehumanising them, claiming that they're less capable of creating art or living meaningful lives, saying that their relationships are inherently shallow and fake - these things are fucked up. I understand venting and saying extreme things when in pain, but when you find yourself regularly posting about wanting certain people tortured and killed, you need to examine that.
When the only thing stopping you from completely dehumanising someone is your own judgement regarding their privilege level relative to yours, you are not a safe person to be around.
"convince your followers that their Oppressor Class (whether real or imagined) is less deserving of human rights" is the oldest and most reliable trick in the book to incite mass violence, and you're not immune to it because you're a Good Person with Correct Opinions. you will continue to be a potential breeding ground for fascist thought until you stop dehumanizing people in any context, regardless of whether they deserve it or not, or how serious you are. there can be no acceptable targets.
After 3 months of my internet being cut off by IRGC, 2 days ago I finally came online and I've been crying since for my people, for them having their simplest of rights being taken away from them.
These past 3 months so many innocent people got executed for the reason of them being against this Islamic regim (IRGC), and in any case you haven't heard, more than 43,000 people got killed in only 2 days :) and rarely anybody talked about them. And since those days more people have been killed, raped and tortured for speaking up about the truth of IRGC. No, the majority of Iranians don't want this regim, we are barely surviving under this dictatorship as human beings (you can't imagine how hard it is for people in the minority groups). Also about the tragedy of Minab's school, even the cause of that was this regim for we, Iranians, are grieving their death. Death to this regim.
It is so cruel that my people get to live like this. When I came online and I saw so many updates from my favorite games and fandoms I felt like I couldn't breath, for I wanted to live a normal life, my people want the same but here we are trying out different VPNs to see which one works.
Even with our internet back, we won't stop talking about the evil actions (and evil existence) of Iran's Islamic regim.
I ask you to do the same.

New York City's new mayor is unplugging a disastrous government chatbot that encouraged small business owners to break the law.
And the funniest part?
And yet somehow the Jew crushing machine went into overdrive. Weird.

The human mind is truly fascinating. I can remember exactly what this specific pencil case looks like, I know how big it is, I know the texture of the fabric and how the zip sounds, I remember what’s in it and where I last saw it.
I remember everything. Except where I fucking put it. I have been looking for Hours
life on earth has clawed its way back from the brink of extinction again and again and again. a better world is neither an impossible pipe dream nor a foregone conclusion. it is built. it is made by the bravest of those who came before us, who, knowingly or unknowingly, committed themselves to the noblest cause there is: the preservation of the only known life in the observable universe. act accordingly.
why is it always a really bad guy countries that funnel huge amounts of money into universities? If chill rich countries like the UAE were funding universities instead of Qatar then there would absolutely not be this huge issue with everyone on campus getting radicalized
Because decent governments tend to focus their spending on their own countries, that's their main job. Like there's charity stuff, but that's done through ngos usually. If a govt is putting money directly into organisations in another country it's because they have an agenda, and given that running a country is expensive, if a govt has heaps of money to be funneling overseas that generally means they aren't spending the money on public services domestically, which doesn't bode well for their position on human rights/peace; i.e. their agenda probably isn't positive. It's much like how people are always shocked that lots of politicians are evil and come up with conspiracy theories about it, but when you think about it for a minute it's like, yeah, the kind of person who wants power over an entire country of people probably isn't a chill dude, yk?
