The most dangerous sentence in politics isn't:
“I support Trump.”
It's:
“What can we really do about it?”
Power absolutely LOVES learned helplessness.
You have power, you always have had power. They're just afraid of you realizing your true potential.
Wake up.

Sorrentino holds on Servillo’s face long past the point most directors would cut, and the whole film lives in that extra beat. 10/10

Remember to give this side the headlines as well

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

Last week, Jerusalem was consumed by hate and violence from Jewish extremists.

Yesterday, Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Druze marched side by side at the Interfaith March for Human Rights and Peace through Jerusalem's streets.

One group chose hate. The other chose love.

Trump's threats to destroy Iranian civilization are a gift to the regime. They will alienate even its fiercest opponents, who believe the Islamic Republic has spent decades erasing 2500 years of Iranian civilization. It's malpractice for the U.S. president to threaten the same.

President Trump, from the South Portico of the White House, with the Easter Bunny, addresses Iran:

[Karim Sadjadpour @ksadjadpour]

2 Trump has misunderstood the nature of the Islamic Republic. His threats to decimate Iran have not moved a regime which, since its inception, has shown itself willing to destroy the country and its people rather than compromise its power or ideology. https://t.co/R2wPZFkrzB

Heartbreaking 💔
This morning, right after President Trump’s speech, the Iranian regime moved fast and hanged 18-year-old protester.

Yes, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, there are no “less radical” leaders in Iran.

From the courtroom to the prison cell, from the interrogator to the judge, this is a unified system of terror. So this is the Islamic Republic: a system with a Stone Age approach to dissent, executing its own young people to stay in power.

This is not about left or right.
This is about life, dignity, and the future of a nation.

His name is Amirhossein Hatami. 18 years old. His “crime”? Demanding Freedom, dignity, and a normal life.
No lawyer. No independent media to be his voice, No fair trial. No final goodbye to his family. But of course a forced confession on State TV after being tortured to admit a crime that he has committed never committed.

And his friends may be next.

By the way, where are the anti-war activists?
Why don’t we hear you campaigning against mass arrests, and executions in Iran ? Would you demand that the Iranian regime stop its war on unarmed people?
Stop the executions.
Stop the torture.
End the total #DigitalBlackOut imposed on Iran.

This is about standing with the people of Iran against a regime that has massacred more than 40,000 of its own citizens and is now killing those arrested in the same uprising

[Sue Useem 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @SueUseem]

Inside Iran the people are still more afraid of the regime than they are of the bombs.

[Bahar | بهار @BGhandehari]

18-year-old Iranian protester Amirhossein Hatami was executed by hanging at dawn today.

He was only 18!

He was hanged just 52 days after his sentencing by Judge Salavati, aka the “Judge of Death,” with zero due process & no lawyer.

He is the 9th person executed during the war.
