🧵Reza Pahlavi’s supporters call him King, & Israel’s intelligence minister even called him “His Imperial Highness.” But what about Iranians inside Iran?
Below are videos of Iranians from across the country chanting anti-monarchy slogans during the #MahsaAmini uprising⏬

"Minister Eamon Ryan’s recent talk in college was interrupted by protestors who are justifiably tired of false promises and callous decision-making."

It’s been 20 years since the invasion of Iraq. But the history of US destruction doesn’t begin there. It’s a 60 year legacy of blood: coup d’etat, support for Saddam, sanctions and bombings & creating the conditions for the rise of ISIS. New @intercepted https://t.co/1Wj62ozx57
The multi-system crises/failure #GenZ faces could be most serious in the history of human civ. I am sad @LindaDoyle and Iris Möller that you labelled this as ‘noise’ and encouraged the audience to ignore your own students bc at the end of the day u work for them not @EamonRyan
Provost criticises activists’ disruption in impromptu appearance at Eamon Ryan event.
Doyle said: “I would like to think that people in Trinity can cope with different views, different opinions, and listen to those respectfully.”

Bravo to these brave TCD students! No climate justice w/out economic justice. @EamonRyan has long failed to understand that climate justice relies on ‘ecologies of care’ - simple as u cannot on the one hand vote to make thousands houseless and then ask them to recycle.
“We don’t live on our reservation. We survive on our reservation. People snowed in for days are burning clothes in their wood stoves because they're out of wood. We’re in serious need of some help.”

BREAKING: The United Nations removed the Islamic Republic of Iran from the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). (29 YES, 8 NO) Yesterday, in a letter from prison, 14 imprisoned women activists supported the removal. #IRIoffCSW#MahsaAmini#مهسا_امینی#Iran#IranRevoIution
University dissertation supervisors, please stop sending UG students out to interview asylum seekers in Ireland with minimal training and oversight. There are no guaranteed benefits to asylum seekers of this research and a high risk of poor research practice. Do something else.
A poignant video of the 450+ protestors killed thus far in Iran. It’s not a coincidence that many of them are remembered singing and dancing; they died protesting a regime that has criminalized both activities.
@ClareDalyMEP Protests have overwhelm demanded an end to the IR. They don’t want to live under clerical rule. This is like Irish ppl revolting against the Catholic Church & u supporting the EU to ‘engage in dialogue’ with the Church hierarchy _whilst_ they still ran the laundries. Plz 🛑
@ShaneTHazel @sahouraxo The prob is she can’t undrstnd there r imperialismS just as harmful & dangerous. She is pro-Assad & IRI apologist currently disparaging the protesters demanding a religion-free Republic. Ireland knows well what it’s like to be under clerical rule & she’d never stand for it in Dub
I've been an "extremely online" human rights activist for 12 years, and I've been (professionally) tracking online narratives for 5 years. The LGBT situation in the MENA has not been worse. Western activism & posturing on this is making things *much* worse.
Remarkable: Protestors in Iran torched the ancestral home (now a museum) of Ayatollah Khomeini, the father of the 1979 revolution, in the town of Khomein.
This holiday season Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, & Facebook fires 11K workers—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳
A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers. Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.
As Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Stripe, Shopify, Lyft, Netflix, and Microsoft lay off workers, let it serve as a reminder that free snacks, beer kegs, and ping pong tables are not real perks.
Do you know what is? Being part of a union that will defend you.
