When the normal breath stops, the true breath begins.

Imagine being so ignorant, racist and historically illiterate that you can’t accept that Iranians want to overthrow their decades-long oppressors without being “manipulated” by the US or Israel.

'You're afraid that this uprising will be the one that actually topples the regime that YOU prop up!'

@piersmorgan challenges Mohammad Marandi after he says the number of protesters killed in Iran is 'fabricated.'

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

As an Iranian & liberal, I don’t know how to say this any clearer:

Stop making the Iranian revolution about who YOU like or don’t like politically in the west.

U either support freedom from a murderous oppressive regime or u don’t; & if u do just support Iranians. That’s it.

هرکه شود صید عشق، کی شود او صید مرگ؟
چون سپرش مه بود، کی رسدش زخم تیر؟
…
جملهٔ جان‌های پاک، گشته اسیران خاک
عشق فروریخت زر، تا برهاند اسیر

تو هم با من نبودی.
مثل من با من، و حتی مثل تن با من.
تو هم با من نبودی.
آنکه می پنداشتم، باید هوا باشد.
. . .
تو هم از ما نبودی.

دوشادوش مرگ
پیشاپیش مرگ
هماره زنده از آن سپس که با مرگ
و همواره بدان نام
که زیسته بودند،
که تباهی
از درگاه بلند خاطره‌شان
شرمسار و سرافکنده می‌گذرد
…
در گذرگاه پرندگان
در برابر تندر می‌ایستند
خانه را روشن می‌کنند
و می‌میرند

Two simple happenings
That got entangled …]
