Activating Starlink Direct‑to‑Cell over #Iran 🇮🇷
Many Iranian smartphones support LTE Band 2 (1900 MHz PCS) — the exact spectrum used by Starlink D2C (Band 25).
If @Apple enables NTN satellite scanning in iOS (just like Emergency SOS and T‑Mobile support), no hardware changes are needed.
Ordinary phones can connect directly to satellites: voice, text, internet.
Reconnect Iranians. Let them speak — let them survive.

Dear Elon,
In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.

remarkable, genuinely remarkable to see the differential outrage in the West regarding the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocents in Iran versus the war in Gaza. exposes something very evident about the left that they would prefer went unnoticed.
it shows very clearly that western liberals do not reason on consequentialist or "aggregate harm" grounds, or by systematically applying the frameworks they claim to use (if Gaza was bad under our post-war humanitarian frameworks, surely systematic, targeted slaughter of innocents in a non-war context in Iran was worse) but rather based on whether a tragedy is politically exploitable or not. in order words, they filter harms through the lens of whether:
a) it maps to a friend/enemy distinction that is interpretable to them; and
b) it serves their domestic interests here in the US
Gaza was an amazing opportunity for them, because the perceived aggressor was Israel and the Jews, and it gave them air cover for antisemitism and anti-Trump agitation at scale here in the US. meanwhile, Iran does little for them. To the extent liberals have an opinion on Iran, it's either indifference or, if they're a good little revolutionary, sympathy to the regime on post-colonial grounds ("deposed the evil colonialist Shah!"). the slaughter of innocents in Iran, to the American left, is a kind of natural disaster. sad, for sure, but nothing to be done about it. no political points to be scored. a little embarassing if anything, given how Obama coddled and enabled Iran. no domestic enemy to paint as responsible. Gaza, meanwhile, became something being done TO the left IN the USA. as such, it was a perfect storm.
remember always that the valence a tragedy has among the american left has nothing to do with their self-proclaimed principles or any moral rubric applied consistently, and everything to do with whether the conflict can be processed through their own local friend/enemy filter, and whether it can be weaponized for domestic aims. any conservative watching carefully has noticed this already, but it's worth pointing out the obvious for the sake of the moderates.
