He will be executed tomorrow he will be hanged. He’s just a child. Please help me to get the leaders to call the Islamic Republic to stop the execution.
My heart broke when I just watched the forced confession of this young boy on Iran’s state TV.
They tell him: “You are Mohareb.”
He asks: “What does that mean?”
He was so young, he didn’t understand that it means one thing in Islamic Republic:
execution
A 17-year-old boy, Shervin Bagherian, was arrested in Iran’s recent protest. Now in the middle of a war they are preparing to execute him.
His only crime was wanting a normal life. There is still time to speak up. Will you stand with me and be his voice before it’s too late?

While the world watches the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran hanged a 19-year-old boy today.
His name is Erfan Esfandiari and he was his parents' only child.
He did not kill anyone. He did not carry a weapon. His crime, according to the Islamic Republic, was opening a door. Sheltering protesters who were running from security forces. That was enough to send him to the gallows.
Erfan was one of 12 young men in the Alikhani Square case in Isfahan, arrested during the January 2026 uprising. Yesterday, all 12 were moved to quarantine. Today, the Islamic Republic hanged him.
This is a government that is so terrified of a generation that refuses to be silent, that it executes teenagers for the act of compassion.
Say his name. Because the regime is already trying to erase him. Because his mother and father are left with nothing, not even the right to grieve loudly.
Big Tech is suing a tiny Ohio town of Urbana after its city council listened to the residents and voted no on a massive AI data center
Urbana only has a population of about 11,000 but they’re going up against a $20 billion company
The company wants to put in a data center so massive it will use 8 times the entire town’s current annual electricity usage
The data center project would claim 565 acres
The$1 billion AI data center would likely use an enormous amount of water, up to hundreds of millions of gallons per year
For a project of this scale, the Thor Equities’ proposal annual usage could easily reach 300–1,800+ million gallons per year in water usage
“The city council also put a 12-month moratorium in place on all data centers, and on June 16th, they finalized the zoning regulations that said no data centers, leading Thor Equities to file a federal lawsuit against this tiny town. Laughably, they say they look forward to resolving this so they can continue being a strong partner for Urbana”
Even when residents and the city council vote for what they want, these massive companies won’t be stopped
autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics.
this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.
90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.
