The life of an Iranian woman:
1970 vs. 2025
Back in 1970, a girl in Tehran woke up and picked her own clothes. Miniskirt if she felt like it. Tight jeans. Sleeveless top. Hair loose down her back. She stepped outside and wasn’t in danger for it. No one yanked her into a van. No one beat her within an inch of her life. No one told her she was corrupting society.
She walked to university with the boys. Sat next to them in lectures. Studied medicine, law, engineering, whatever she damn well wanted. After class, she met friends in cafés that didn’t check her neckline. At night, the streets were full of lights and music and women laughing out loud. She could go to the cinema, dance at a club, drive her own car home at 2 a.m, all without a male chaperone.
Iranian women had been voting since 1963. Women sat in parliament. Women ran top national corporations. Women were judges, lawyers, and leaders of industry.
A woman could file for divorce. She could stop her husband taking a second wife. The minimum marriage age was eighteen and she wouldn’t be automatically denied custody if her marriage broke down.
That was the world that the mothers and grandmothers of Iran lived in.
Now drag that same bloodline to 2026.
The granddaughter wakes up planning her outfit for her safety, not her self-expression. One loose strand and the morality police can drag her off for an “improper hijab.” They fine her, beat her, and post her face on state television as a warning.
The Hijab and Chastity law might have been tweaked after large-scale protests, but it was never stopped. Cameras are everywhere, neighbours spy for payoffs, universities kick girls out, jobs are limited to male applicants, and passports are revoked if a woman acts “immorally” or dares to try and escape.
A man can divorce his wife and automatically keeps the kids. He can marry as many women as he likes and she has no legal right to stop him. In court, her testimony is worth half of his.
Girls as young as thirteen can be married off and the state calls it piety. Temporary “sigheh” contracts are pushed like some holy loophole so men can rent a wife for a weekend.
Schools and buses are segregated. Beaches are split by gender. Stadiums still ban women from watching men play football (because apparently the sight of a female face in the crowd is too dangerous).
Singing in public?
Forbidden if men can hear.
Dancing?
Only in secret.
When these women finally snap and rip the hijab off in the street — like they did after Mahsa Amini and kept doing through the bloodbaths of 2022 right into this year — the Islamic regime answers with bullets, prison rapes, and public hangings which are broadcast to scare other women into submission.
The 1979 revolution didn’t “free” Iranian women. It kidnapped them. It took a country that was dragging itself into the twentieth century and slammed it back into the seventh under the banner of Islam.
The same men who claim to be defending Iranian honour are the ones ordering the batons and the nooses. The mullahs didn’t give women dignity.
Women don’t have freedom.
Women don’t have a choice.
They are commanded. Obey or die.
And now, for the first time in half a century Iranian women are flooding the streets again, tearing off their hijabs, dancing, and chanting as their oppressors finally get a taste of their own medicine.
But what do we see from the Western left?
Protests against the airstrikes.
Rallies screaming “hands off Iran.”
Cries of Islamophobia and colonialism.
Signs defending the very regime that has shackled, beaten, and silenced Israeli women for a lifetime.
They’re out there right now, these so-called progressives, crying about “imperialism” while Iranian girls are finally breathing without a boot on their necks.
Supporting the monsters who stole every choice from generations of Iranian women. Even now, with the Supreme Leader’s corpse still warm, they’d rather prop up the butchers than admit the truth.
Shame on them all.
Congrats to the @Neuralink team for helping many people who have lost use of their body with our Telepathy implant that enables computer use simply by thinking!
The next generation Neuralink cybernetic augment with 3X capability will be ready later this year.
Pending regulatory approval, we are also ready to do our first Blindsight augment that will enable those who have even complete loss of vision to see in low resolution at first, leading to high resolution over time.
Esto es hermoso, emocionante.
En pleno centro de Teherán, la capital de Irán, las mujeres se están quitando los velos y los prenden fuego. Todo un símbolo de liberación.
La mayor revolución femenina del siglo XXI está ocurriendo frente a nuestros ojos ahora mismo.
Some people on the left saying they would rather live under Maduro than Trump is one of the dumbest takes of all time.
Under Maduro, people dug through trash for food, ate stray animals, lost 20 pounds from hunger, watched their money become worthless, and fled the country by the millions. Supermarkets were empty. Protesters were killed. Elections were rigged.
If you think that is better than Trump, you’re not making a moral argument. You’re exposing how ignorant, unserious and detached you are from reality.
Remember who you are, American.
Through rugged individualism and unparalleled grit, our Forefathers built the greatest nation the world has ever seen.
As we celebrate 250 years since our nation’s founding, it’s more important than ever that we honor their achievements and seek to build a stronger nation 🇺🇸
Bill Maher drops a reality bomb on Zohram Mamdani voters with a brutal history lesson on socialism.
“We’ve run this experiment many times, and the results are always obvious,” Maher said.
He looked straight into the camera and delivered a blunt warning about Mamdani.
“Democrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately, it’s the Republican Party.”
“Here’s capitalist South Korea at night from space,” Maher presented, showing a country lit up and thriving.
“Here’s socialist North Korea,” he followed, with the map pitch dark.
“Yeah. In 1990, Venezuela was wealthier than Poland. But then Poland, finally free of Soviet style economics, went all in on capitalism and now their economy is as big as Japan and people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes.”
“Meanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavez’s socialism for the 21st century, which turned out to be like socialism in the last century or any century, a f*cking mess.”
“It turned one of Latin America’s richest countries into one of its poorest. Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, 8 million people fleeing. If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel, you’re in for a rude awokening.”
This dude is a legal immigrant who came from Ecuador and decided to serve in our military to gain citizenship.
He says that people who complain about this country have never been to a place that’s run by the cartels and gangs.
He came to America for freedom and he’s exactly the type of immigrant that America will continue to welcome with open arms 🇺🇸
What the Democrats are doing on the government shutdown is genuinely unprecedented, and while the administration has shielded the American people from the worst of the consequences, all of this is coming, and soon:
An aviation emergency that will lead to significant travel delays for all Americans.
Food stamp and other assistance programs running out for needy Americans.
Great strains on our military and national security.
The shutdown has now passed from farce into tragedy, and the consequences of this national emergency fall on every senator and congressman who refuses to open the government.
If I need to show my ID to get Sudafed at Walgreens, you need to show your ID to vote.
If Florida and Texas can count and report vote totals the night of, so can every single other place.
My home city, New York, is likely to elect a socialist Mayor Tuesday.
I don’t usually report on local politics, but I make an exception for Zohran Mamdani… because people believe his socialist dreams.
Yet what he is promising to do is so STUPID.
Here's why:
