@JeffreyASachs@CarAdrianH As a Canadian historian (Ph.D.) who specializes in this area I wholeheartedly agree with @JesseBrown. We are indeed experiencing a modern day pogrom. The extreme left and right are denying it, ignoring the stats & stories, spreading hate, and ultimately, exacerbating the crisis.
Doctors are being arrested for saving lives.
In Iran, security forces are storming hospitals to finish off wounded protesters.
Now they’re storming doctors’ homes.
At least 40,000 people killed.
More than 300,000 injured.
Doctors who treated the wounded are being hunted.
•Dr. Alireza Golchini, a general surgeon in Qazvin, faces possible execution for posting an Instagram story offering free medical help.
•Dr. Ameneh Soleimani, a physician in Ardabil, was arrested for treating injured protesters.
•Dr. Farhad Nadali, an orthopedic surgeon in Gorgan, was abducted after condemning the killings.
•Dr. Saber Dehghan, a neurosurgeon in Sirjan, arrested for helping the wounded.
•Dr. Babak Pouramin, an emergency physician, has been detained for over a week.
Their crime?
Practicing medicine.
This is what a terrorist state looks like.
Protesters in Rasht sought refuge in the city’s bazaar. As a fire engulfed the market, Iran’s security forces shot dozens fleeing for safety and blocked firefighters. Cruel echoes of 1978, when Islamist revolutionaries burned Cinema Rex, killing over 400. https://t.co/AxuUc917el
🚨 BREAKING: EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT DECLARES IRGC A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
By an overwhelming majority, the European Parliament has voted to declare Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization.
The move marks a significant escalation in Europe’s stance toward Tehran, with implications for sanctions, diplomacy, and regional security.
We'll done @thinchague
Sure you played a strong role.

Silence isn’t neutral right now.
People across Iran are risking their lives to confront a regime that has ruled through fear, violence, and repression for nearly half a century. Tear gas. Bullets. Water hoses — in a country suffering severe water shortages — and still, the people don’t stop.
If you care about LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, religious freedom, ethnic equality, peace in the Middle East, fighting antisemitism, or opposing global terrorism, this is your issue too.
Speak up. Don’t look away.
Yep, we’re avoiding the US like the plague in droves. Your own citizens can fill your hotels, restaurants, theatres etc. Sorry, America, Canada is not coming. 🇨🇦🤷🏻♂️😆 #ElbowsUp#BuyCanadian#boycottUs#boycottUSA.
🚨NEW: Alan Dershowitz just detonated a legal hand-grenade on live TV:
“I know for a fact Epstein documents are being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names, I know who’s suppressing them, but a judge’s order silences me. Hand to God.”
Translation:
- There is a client list.
- Judges are sealing it.
- The names are powerful enough to bend the U.S. justice system into a vault.
If the courts won’t break confidentiality for the public interest, Congress must subpoena the files, put them in the record, and let the sunlight do its job.
@Beth_Levy66 True. I’m finding it hard to see any difference between Chow and Tory when it comes to responding to the city’s affordable housing crisis. The developers must be ecstatic.
@sue_pawlowski I’m so sorry. My son had a serious blood clot in April and it required three visits to the ER, the third time by ambulance after his foot turned blue and he was experiencing chest pain, to get him the care he needed. It’s heartbreaking how often it’s dismissed &/or misdiagnosed.
