"The world can and should stand with Iranians. But in the end, freedom is not bestowed from above, it is claimed from within: by those who risk everything to declare that they, and only they, will decide their destiny."
Powerful from @SMohyeddin.

@BAD91BANG@bassem_youssef9 Bassem is honestly an expert political analyst and comedian. He just needs to give the Iranian people a little more credit on this one. Everybody is wrong from time to time, and this time, Bassem is off the mark.
@bassem_youssef9 Or, hear me out, the Iranian people could also overthrow the Regime without foreign interference. That's the ideal outcome. Iranians deserve the freedom.
@doctor_rahmeh@owenjonesjourno You said Islm Repub benefits Arabs struggle for freedom. The Iranian people deserve the same freedom that you yearn to see in Palestine. Being JUST = opposition to the Genocide of Palestinians, as well as the oppression of the Iranian people at the hands of the Islamic Republic.
@owenjonesjourno I'm telling you this as someone who is a big fan of yours - the framing that this is a Republican or Zionist plot is a result of Israel/USA trying to hijack the movement, and the Iranian government trying to discredit it. This revolution is everything you stand for, Owen.
@labaykayajanoub I'm not even a Pahlavi supporter - I support human rights and justice for the Iranian people. DM me where you want the boxes of Islamic Republic flags delivered. @DHLGlobal what're expedited shipping options like to Lebanon?
X updated the flag of Iran to that of the people. The Lion and the Sun (Shir Khorshid) has a history dating back to the 1700s, with the tricolour iterations being introduced in mid 1800s. 🇮🇷 This is our flag.
@mdubowitz Nah. We'll make our own version when the people topple the Islamic Regime, free of your Orientalist skew. Thanks for your obsession with our culture though!
It's a great time to watch Rob Reiner's SHOCK AND AWE right now... shout out to @wstrobel & @JonathanLanday I had the chance to meet them at a film festival a few years back and talked about a similar situation happening to Iran one day.
Netflix should have a commentary track audio option. I'm not saying commission new ones, just for material that's already available on the DVD/Blu versions.
