The only acceptable solidarity is ruthless criticism

[a @femmthusiast]

i wish nothing but the worst kind of pain on everyone who calls this a lie and denies the atrocities of the regime. i hope you all rot to death.

[Farzan Sabet @IranWonk]

Horrific.

The Islamic Republic executed 2,000+ people last year-estimated to be the highest figure save China and beating its own record from previous years.

We have every reason to believe we are witnessing worse mass executions in 2026.

Great piece in @nytimes by @ErikaSolomon et al. capturing the spirit of defiance amidst repression in #Iran as we enter the period marking the 40th day (a date of cultural significance) since thousands of Iranian protesters were killed from 8-10 Jan. 1/4 https://t.co/u9fTZLequg

[Amir Taheri @AmirTaheri4]

Ayatollah #Khamenei drops the last ounce of shame he might have had by saying he considers all the thousands his forces killed in some 400 towns & cities across Iran last months as "martyrs" with the exception of those he brands as " the few enemy agents".
He says the majority of those killed were martyrs, admitting that he massacred innocent citizens taking partb in peaceful marches.

Today is the start of the 40th Day after the crackdown massacres in Iran. Families will go back to the graves of their loved ones and memorialize them. Expect more people to start dying. #margbarKhamenai #JavidShah

با ادامه لجبازی فعلی و با تداوم سرکشی حکومت در برابر خواست واضح قاطبه مردم و کنار نگذاشتن سیاستهاهای خانمان براندازی که در دوره رهبری فعلی اتخاذ شده اند، چیزی که نصیب شما خواهد شد، شهادتی حسین گونه نخواهد بود بلکه نکبتی خواهد بود که امویان در پایان دورانشان با آن مواجه شدند.

150 جنگنده امریکایی و 200 جنگنده اسراییلی میتوانند روزی 400 سورتی بمباران در ایران انجام دهند.
صدها پهپاد هم میتوانند این عدد را دو برابر کنند.
یعنی ظرف سه هفته میتوانند تمام پایگاهها و خودروهای نظامی و ضدشورش را بزنند.
حکومتی که محبوبیتش زیر 20 درصد است بدون اینها ماندنی نیست.

[Agnes Callamard @AgnesCallamard]

18 ans. il devrait rever a son avenir, s’amuser, etudier.

Il ne devrait pas faire face a une execution et a ses bourreaux pour avoir manifeste.

C’est l’Iran.

Facts

[ghost of the commie past @chestfullofstar]

@alnickmnathan Getting back online after 3 weeks of blackout and with blood still fresh on the streets, finding out that the entire thing was the Mossad's work! In 46 cities across 22 provinces of vast Iran, Mossad must have millions of operatives to orchestrate such vast networks of saboteurs!

@alnickmnathan You can trace the effects of this kind of anti-imperialist thinking and how it inevitably leads to conspiracy thinking and finally antisemitism!

[Alnick @alnickmnathan]

I like vincent bevins but "Jakarta method isn't even created by us" should be an indictment to just how misleading & harmful the narrative of "washington's anti-communist conspiracy" peddled by bevins, vijay prashad, etc: absolving the agency of national class struggles

[Aryaman @Aryomon]

US-backed, CIA-planned, yes, but the murder of a million people was carried out through your neighbors and relatives.

It's a lot easier to blame the CIA than to reckon with your society's rotten past though.

[Mehdi Mazeruni @Mehdi_Mazeruni]

Calling a clique of oligarchs that is extracting some of the biggest reserves of natural resources in the world to fill their own coffers a “liberation movement” would be laughable if the said clique were not killing thousands of impoverished civilian protesters in Iran.

[Farzan Sabet @IranWonk]

@hmajd What do you call 2,000+ executions in Iran in 2025-believed to be the second highest number of executions in the world after China, and a dramatic growth on top of previous years' figures?

And do we think mass killings are happening now, and executions will be higher in 2026?

[ghost of the commie past @chestfullofstar]

@ccutrone1970 @TuttReal You see, Chris, as Daniel said before: what you should really be doing is learning from anti-colonial struggles like Iran and the Islamic Republic about their success!
