While the world watches the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran hanged a 19-year-old boy today. His name is Erfan Esfandiari and he was his parents' only child. He did not kill anyone. He did not carry a weapon. His crime, according to the Islamic Republic, was opening a door. Sheltering protesters who were running from security forces. That was enough to send him to the gallows. Erfan was one of 12 young men in the Alikhani Square case in Isfahan, arrested during the January 2026 uprising. Yesterday, all 12 were moved to quarantine. Today, the Islamic Republic hanged him. This is a government that is so terrified of a generation that refuses to be silent, that it executes teenagers for the act of compassion. Say his name. Because the regime is already trying to erase him. Because his mother and father are left with nothing, not even the right to grieve loudly.

In the middle of a war, the Islamic Republic still finds time to flog this young women for music. Anita Papist, a young Iranian singer, has been sentenced to 74 lashes. Her crime? Singing and uploading her video on Instagram. The regime confiscated her passport. Blocked her phone. Now they want to silence her voice. This is called gender apartheid. A total apartheid against women. Be her voice

Very important book everyone should read, but what are you saying here? "Some are now proposing that racial categories constitute 'biological essentialism' and instead we should respect racial self-identities. This is known as transracialism, as per Rachel Dolezal who was born white, but who self-identifies as black." No one on the Left that I've heard of advocates the elimination of racial categories. They teach that sexual identify is flexible but race is fixed. The same people who claim that a male rapist should be locked in a cell with a female inmate if he calls himself "trans" are also people who support black elites who insist that whites with some partial black ancestry are not really white but only "passing" or "presenting" as such.
