i’m in awe at the bravery of iranian women of all ages risking their lives for basic freedoms. as members of the diaspora, we’ll continue to lift their voices. it’d mean the world if others did as well #MahsaAmini#مهسا_امینی
Hansi Flick: Si quieres jugar para el Barcelona, debes dar el 100% con todo tu corazón.
Para todos los que están con nosotros ahora y quizás estarán en el futuro con nosotros, tienen que vivir por estos colores.
El resto, no los quiero…
The hate Argentina got this tournament made me realize how easy it is to brainwash and program people. Would love to see someone publish work on this some day as it’s a very interesting case study.
@arash_tehran Any idea how we can watch it in the US? I missed the theatrical release in NYC and the more recent virtual run via LACMA and now can’t find it anywhere
The Iranian regime has targeted wounded protesters seeking help. In response, medical workers throughout the country have forged secret units to treat those injured in the uprising. https://t.co/ZYA12KWwdn
@worldofreel As if the industry hadn’t already given a profound f you to Iranian cinema this year snubbing Panahi the way they did they needed to double down with another f you by announcing they’re going to bastardize an Iranian classic?
@MichaelMarcou19 Just did a quick scroll through your feed! Feel free to first embody that in your own life — you need to go to Palestine to show solidarity with the oppressed unless you’re just a hero with other people’s lives. Or do you want to just keep harassing the Iranian diaspora online?
I need someone to tell Judd Apatow how wildly insensitive “I’m not sure how to pronounce this” before announcing Paul Thomas Anderson at the Golden Globes is when most of the rest of the names were foreign. When Panahi is sitting there while Iranians are being mass murdered.
💔I admit that I never imagined the depth of sacrifice Iranians are capable of.
Milad Hassan Zadeh, a 17-year-old boy, left a farewell note for his family before heading out to protest.
I’m sharing his words because that was his own request, to make sure his voice would be heard. Let’s make sure his wish is honored.
“I’m heading out to the protests. If I am killed, or if I am arrested, know that I chose to live with honor and dignity.
If I am meant to die, then it is better that I die on the path of courage and honor.
Whatever happens to me, I want the news to spread like an explosion, so that I become a model for the rest of my generation. January 2, 2026, signed by Milad Hassan Zadeh.”
On 20 January the Wall Street Journal published an op-ed written by an Iranian politician promoting the Islamic Republic's viewpoint.
Today, we wrote a letter to the Journal's editorial team requesting that they qualify the article, explaining how it was submitted for publication (particularly whether the Internet was used) and also highlighting that the Iranian public are denied the opportunity to express their opposing viewpoints due to the ongoing internet blackout.
You don’t need to sit there and try to decide whether 12,000 people murdered in Iran by the regime is accurate or not.
All you have to know is that the regime itself has admitted to killing thousands — something they have never admitted to doing in such a short period of time, ever.
And it is a historical fact that they always undercount. Always.
So if you still want to engage in atrocity denial after the regime itself has admitted to it; after they have broadcast images on state TV saying that the dead were “ordinary Iranians” (not Mossad agents, as they usually claim); after they have told parents to keep their sons and daughters at home — then you are simply a horrible person who hates the United States and Israel so much that it is clouding your judgment and leading you to hurt Iranians who are just fighting for their freedom.
Iranians who have never met a Mossad agent or intelligence officer.
Iranians who have never communicated with a CIA agent or officer.
People who were simply sick and tired of living under the regime’s suffocating rule and tried to do something about it.
And to be clear, I don’t care that you hate the United States and Israel — but I do care that you are allowing that hatred to cloud your judgment in this case.
And I have consistently advocated against military intervention in Iran.
I am anti-monarchist, and I have never engaged in atrocity denial.
So if you’re one of the people sitting there mocking the murder of Iranians by the regime, or trying to come up with excuses for why it happened, you can’t use any of these things against me to diminish what I’m telling you.
Earnest post that has nothing to do with Luka or trade evaluation: I will miss having AD on my favorite basketball team. Special player who is perpetually discussed for what he isn't rather than what he is and helped bring LA a title. Can't wait to see his jersey in the rafters.
I'll never forget Anthony Davis in 2020. Him yelling Kobe after the game-winner against Denver? That title still the most meaningful in my entire life.
For over 100 years, Iranian women have been bravely fighting for human rights.
They've instilled the same stubborn courageousness in their daughters.
Iranian women carry Iran on their backs.
And no matter what they fight for, they always bring the rest of us along.
