Did you know the feral pigeons we see in our cities are largely descended from domesticated birds? 🐦

Pigeons are not “pests” - they’re animals we domesticated, abandoned, and then blamed for living alongside us. 👀

Do you love pigeons?! 💚

Wow!

In the South of Iran, spontaneous singing of a traditional song that hails Reza Shah, the grandfather of the crown prince. It's a signal to the government from the Strait of Hormuz region.

Ghazal Demirchali was only 17, a graphic design student.

On January 9, she was shot in the chest and killed by Islamic Republic forces.

Don’t forget Ghazal.
Don’t ever stop talking about Iran.

Please pray for this precious little girl named Lillian from Louisiana. She has a Naegleria fowleri brain infection and is critically ill. The prognosis for this condition is not good, but pray for a miracle🙏🏻

Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers.

🚨Don’t stop talking about Iran.
His name is Javid Khales.

And his integrity is as pure as his name.

A soldier who reportedly faced a choice no soldier should ever be forced to make:

Shoot his own people, or stand with them.

Javid refused to fire on innocent Iranians.

He chose conscience over orders.

He chose humanity over obedience.

He chose his people.

And now, his life is reportedly in danger because he refused to become a weapon against his own countrymen.

There is a particular kind of courage in refusing an order when you know exactly what that refusal could cost you.

Javid made that choice.

Now he needs our voices.

Do not wait until his name becomes another name we mourn.

He is alive.

His life is in danger.

And there is still time to speak for him.

Say his name.

Share his story.

Make sure the terrorist and occupying Islamic Republic regime knows the world is watching what happens to him.

JAVID KHALES.

The soldier who refused to shoot his own people.

BE HIS VOICE.

OMG this is precious. Look at how that baby is staring into his Dad's eyes as he tells the beautiful story of how he saved his life. That beautiful pooch is holding on to every word.

Dogs are truly angels on earth. This I do believe.

Crows are incredibly clever. This one figured out how to turn a tap on to get water and even remembered to turn it off afterwards. Their ability to learn, remember, and repeat useful behaviours is amazing

To confuse Hamas on October 7th, this elderly Jewish man, Shlomo Ron (85) took a seat in his living room.

He didn't play dead.
He played the lonely old man card.

It worked.

Hamas terrorists killed him, but after killing the lonely old man, they figured nobody else was at home.

This worked perfectly.

His family was spared, hiding in another area of the house. Shlomo Ron sacrificed himself. May we never forget his bravery.

Trapped in an icy river, this baby moose is in desperate need of rescue. A man steps in and helps guide him back to his mother's side. The world keeps turning because of the countless people who still choose compassion over indifference. Struggling helplessly in the freezing water, this small creature experiences one of the most important moments of his life, the safety of returning to family, all thanks to a stranger's kindness. Moments like this remind us that humanity hasn't given up on goodness just yet 🦌💧🥹

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

My fellow compatriots,

The Islamic Republic’s attempt to raise fuel prices has once again exposed its incompetence and the deep structural dysfunction of Iran’s energy sector under this regime.

While the Islamic Republic squanders the country’s resources on foreign terrorists and domestic repression, regime officials and their cronies compete to plunder the nation’s wealth. Meanwhile, the regime’s gross mismanagement has pushed families to the breaking point and driven Iranians deeper into poverty. Forcing higher fuel prices on the people is an unforgivable mistake and a profound betrayal. 

Fuel prices cannot be compared with those in other countries when Iranians earn their incomes in heavily  devalued rials and live below the poverty line.

Fuel and energy are managed as a matter of routine, without constant crisis, in nearly every country in the world, including many with far fewer resources than Iran.
On one side, the IRGC’s smuggling mafia traffics tens of millions of liters of Iran’s resources every day through tanker trucks, pipelines, and ports. On the other, the automotive mafia forces Iranians to buy poorly made, fuel-inefficient cars. Unable to solve the problem it has created, this criminal cult uses its propaganda apparatus to shift the blame for fuel shortages onto the people, portraying ordinary Iranians as responsible for rising consumption and fuel smuggling.

The Islamic Republic is an incompetent, corrupt, and anti-Iranian regime. It is itself the root cause of this dysfunction and will never be capable of fixing it.

The only way to save Iran and end this destructive cycle is to bring down this regime in its entirety and establish an effective national government. The Iran Prosperity Project has developed clear plans to bring fuel production and consumption into balance. These plans draw on proven international best practices and Iran’s own national experience in managing its energy resources, and will be implemented during the transition following the fall of the regime.

Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi

Abolfazl Alipour was only 21, a psychology student who was shot and killed by Islamic Republic forces on January 8.

According to an informed source, his family could not identify him by his face at the forensic centre. They identified him by the tattoo on his arm.

Don’t forget Abolfazl.

Twelve years ago today, Hamas murdered this beautiful little boy — four-year-old Daniel Tragerman. His only crime was living a wonderful, innocent life.

Never let anyone gaslight you into believing those barbarians are the good guys.

Nelson appears in most of the reviews of the holiday cottage at the end of the yard and has never once been mentioned in the listing.

The listing says: two bedrooms, wood burner, walks from the door, dogs by arrangement.

The reviews say:

- Five stars. "Clean, warm, quiet. There is a donkey. Nobody warned us about the donkey."
- Five stars. "Second visit. He was at the gate on arrival. He was at the gate on departure. Unclear whether he moved."
- Three stars. "Shower pressure poor. Donkey excellent."
- Five stars. "The big black horse follows the donkey around like a dog. We watched this for an hour on the first evening instead of going out for dinner."
- One star. "Very isolated. Nothing to do."
- Five stars. "Reply to the above. There is a donkey."
- Four stars. "We came for the Clwydian hills. We did the hills once."
- Five stars. "My husband has not been right since his operation. He went down to that fence every morning at seven and I have not seen him do anything at seven for two years. He has looked up donkey sanctuaries. I do not know what happens next and I am not stopping it."

The yard has not replied to any of them, because the yard does not know the reviews exist. Nobody who keeps a donkey has ever thought of it as an amenity.

Hector is in a fair number of the photographs. He is seventeen hands of Cavalry Black who walked behind a gun carriage at a state funeral while a nation watched through its tears, and in every single picture he is standing slightly behind a small grey donkey, out of focus.
