@Tesla do you do anything with reports that I send from my car anytime I disengage auto pilot? I’ve been reporting the exact same things for the last two years with zero improvement! The car is making right turns on red lights when it’s illegal, going through red lights #tesla
There is a moment in revolutions- a precise and historically recognizable sweet spot- when an old, brutal, and hardened regime still deploys its forces, yet something breaks in its resolve. You can sense it, and then the public senses it: fear has shifted sides.
The oppressors are no longer as certain as they once were in using force. They cannot compete with sheer numbers, with masses filling the streets. Crucially, their own men begin to hesitate. Security forces grow reluctant to shoot at demonstrators; many have family members among them, or doubt that the regime they are defending will survive.
This dynamic is well documented across revolutionary cases. In Iran in 1978–79, the Shah’s regime retained overwhelming military superiority, yet its paralysis came from fractured loyalty within the armed forces and police. In Eastern Europe in 1989, regimes collapsed not because protesters defeated the state militarily, but because security elites lost confidence that repression would restore control - most famously in Berlin Wall’s fall, when orders were issued but no one was willing to enforce them.
Similar patterns appeared during the early stages of the Arab uprisings, especially in Tunisia and Egypt, where the army’s refusal to fully suppress mass protests proved decisive.
That moment is also when regimes begin to change their language. They make offers. They issue statements acknowledging the “legitimate concerns” of protesters or opposition figures. They float proposals for dialogue or negotiations. Far from signaling strength, these shifts repeatedly mark the point at which a revolutionary situation reaches its peak. Such gestures often confirm what protesters already suspect: that the regime’s primary tools, fear and violance, are no longer functioning. That the state is dying.
Political science research on authoritarian breakdown supports this pattern. Revolutions rarely succeed because of popular mobilization alone; they succeed when coercive institutions fragment. Once uncertainty spreads within the security apparatus the regime’s collapse becomes a question of timing.
The Islamic Republic still possesses formidable repressive capacity. Yet the signals- hesitation, mixed messaging, demonstration of fear by cutting internet- suggest a leadership aware that it may no longer be able to rely on obedience.
Historically, that awareness is one of the clearest indicators that an authoritarian system is entering its most dangerous and potentially decisive phase.
It does feel very close.
Why can’t Airlines and Airports figure out the logistics of boarding passengers? Its a horrible, stressful and chaotic experience. The worst is Toronto #yyz and #Aircanada and #fco 😡
Watch: A fearless Canadian woman finally said what so many are thinking. She interrupted a mass Muslim prayer in downtown Toronto, where pro-Palestinian activists blocked off an entire public area.
Not because mosques were lacking (there are plenty nearby).
But to assert dominance over public space.
Do you stand with her against this blatant takeover?

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East - a country that truly defends women's rights, freedom, and the rule of law.
While we argue, Israel acts. It protects not only itself, but all of us.
So instead of condemning Israel, let us thank it.
Tareq Haj Ibrahim (IG tareqh18) is a refugee from Syria who arrived in Canada during November 2015 to escape the war torn conflict at the time.
Tareq Haj Ibrahim has been the individual identified as the one standing next to Zaid Zeanalabdieen dressed as Yahya Sinwar holding a sign glorifying Hamas, Yahya Sinwar & Abu Obaida at a Pro-Terrorism Intimidation Rally targeting the Jewish community of Bathurst & Sheppard in Toronto.
Since arriving in Canada, Tareq Haj Ibrahim has dabbled in various jobs & projects including being the co-owner of a Mississauga restaurant called Nafisa Middle Eastern Cuisine until it closed just over a year ago. Just recently, Tareq Haj Ibrahim was one of the organizers for @halalexpocanada.
This is a Notice of Public Interest to the Jewish community of Toronto regarding this radical individual who travels out of his way from either Mississauga or Kitchener to intimidate Jews in a residential area by glorifying designated terrorists & their groups.
This is also for @TorontoPolice & Law Enforcement, despite seeing this sign and refusing to take any action at the time.

The Hamas terrorists have just thanked Mark Carney for his recent statement on Israel.
When terrorist groups like Hamas say your actions are a “significant step in the right direction,” that means they are not.
Threatening Israel with sanctions and “further concrete actions” while a terrorist group on their borders holds their citizens hostage and refuses to stop attacking Israel is wrong.
This war can end tomorrow if Hamas hands over the remaining hostages, lays down their weapons and surrenders.
Conservatives will always stand for Israel’s right to exist and to defend itself.
