I write about how the regime uses compulsory hijab to maintain its image and brand. To burn it is to reject the regime in its entirety. The women of Iran are using the very symbols of the regime, to reject its legitimacy as they call for change.

“And 76 years of occupation”

I don't think she knows the magnitude of what she did….
This speech will be remembered forever…

The @UofGlasgow Global Majority Network held a film screening of 'What's love got to do with it?' last night, where we were joined by Mr Sunil Hutchin-Bellur, Dr Zahra Khosroshahi, Prof Lubna Nasir and Dr Azra Meadows in a panel discussion following the film. #SAHM
Dear world: I know it’s hard to keep looking, but please don’t move on.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza never stopped, not for one moment.
It’s still happening. Hour after hour.
If you’re in a rich country, your government is likely prolonging it.
#ArmsEmbargoNow
Pass it on.
Absolute trash humans who are going after a young woman who has had the strength, wherewithal, to find words and energy to report on surviving genocide.
They want us to die the most horrific deaths and to do it quietly.
Let our victory be our revenge.

Dear @KamalaHarris . “If you want Trump to win” then keep doing what you’re doing. But don’t gaslight our community, silence us, then blame us for a failure of your own Biden admin’s doing.
Canadians paid for this state of the art solar powered water plant in Rafah. Canadian engineers helped build it. Israeli soldiers blew it up by mining it with explosives. This is not self defence.
Canadians have a right to know this story. Here it is. #OnTheLine#Gaza
Did the folks raging about grafitti & burning flags in DC see the image of a decapitated Palestinian girl in Khan Younis today?
Stop demanding polite protests while facilitating the most grotesque genocide. All the ugliness is a reflection of you.
