@RichardDawkins Oooh, how unfortunate for Richard Dawkins, he’s been really spiralling lately. First calling Claude concious and sentient and now degrading those who actually scientifically are. I am saddened that this is the worldview of people I used to admire.

Lazy propaganda AI slop finding its way into politics. Definitely not the future I expected.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

The Turkish government’s major crackdown on groups and activists defending LGBT rights threatens the rule of law and fundamental rights in Türkiye.

Following coordinated police raids, police arrested at least 112 people, with 82 still detained under court order.

LGBTİ+ derneklerini, hak savunucularını ve dijital yayın mecralarını hedef alan gözaltı, arama, el koyma ve erişim engelleme saldırılarını kabul etmiyoruz.

“Ailem Güvende” isminin verildiği bu operasyon, adından da anlaşılacağı üzere toplumu tahakküm altına alma operasyonudur. Tekçi ve cinsiyetçi politikaların ısrarla sürdürüldüğünün açık bir kanıtıdır.

Kadınlar her gün, “güvenli” denilen ailelerin içerisinde şiddete maruz bırakılmakta, katledilmektedir. Farklı cinsel kimlikler bu ülkenin, ailelerin ya da toplumun güvenlik sorunu değildir.

Asıl güvenlik sorunu; kadınların ve LGBTİ+’ların yaşamlarını tehdit eden şiddet, cezasızlık ve ayrımcılıktır.

Hak savunucularını susturarak, nefret suçlarını körükleyerek, yayınları engelleyerek ve örgütlenme özgürlüğünü hedef alarak toplumu güvende tutamazsınız.

Adalet, bir kişi veya zümre için değil, herkes için olmalıdır. Adalet Bakanlığı’nın görevi hak savunucularını, gazetecileri, LGBTİ+’ları ve demokratik örgütlenmeleri baskı altına almak değil; herkesin hak ve özgürlüklerini güvence altına almaktır.

Toplumun güvenliği, baskıyla ve yasaklarla değil; eşitlik, özgürlük, adalet ve yaşam hakkının güvence altına alınmasıyla mümkündür.

Bir arada ortak ve eşit yaşamın savunucuları olarak LGBTİ+’lara yönelik saldırılara asla sessiz kalmayacağız!
Gözaltılar derhal serbest bırakılmalıdır!

Herkes için adalet, herkes için özgürlük, herkes için eşit yaşam!

Je condamne fermement la vague de répression qui frappe actuellement les personnes LGBTQIA+ en Turquie.

Depuis cette nuit, des associations sont perquisitionnées, des domiciles fouillés, des comptes d’organisations et d’activistes rendus inaccessibles sur les réseaux sociaux. Plus de 160 personnes auraient déjà été interpellées dans plusieurs provinces du pays.

J’appelle les autorités turques à mettre immédiatement fin à ces opérations et à libérer l’ensemble des personnes interpellées.

Le recul des droits et les attaques contre les personnes LGBTQIA+, en Turquie comme ailleurs, doit nous alerter collectivement. La banalisation de ces violences se nourrit aussi de nos silences.

Face à l’offensive réactionnaire, notre solidarité doit être totale, collective et internationale.

Paris se tient aux côtés des personnes LGBTQIA+, en Turquie et partout dans le monde.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

A cleric in Iran just announced that if a woman gets to choose her own clothes, then a man gets the right to rape her.

Do not scroll past that. Read it twice.

That is not a slip of the tongue. That is not a fringe opinion from the back of a mosque. That is Kazem Rohbakhsh an official worldview of the Islamic Republic of Iran, finally spoken without the mask.

For 45 years this regime has told women they are the problem. Cover yourself, or you "tempt" men. Dress modestly, or you "deserve" what comes next. And now the punchline, straight from the cleric's mouth: If you dare to be free, then we are free to sexually assault you.

Let me be clear about something.
That is the whole ideology of the Islamic Republic of Iran in one sentence. A regime so terrified of women that it believes your only choice is a headscarf or a predator.

So here is my answer to the mullah, in simple words:

Women don’t need to cover themselves to control men’s behavior. Men need to control themselves.

A woman's body is not a bargaining chip. Our freedom is not a crime. And your "right to rape" is not a right. It is a confession. A confession that your ideology is too weak to win a single woman's heart, so you must crush her body instead.

🚨🇪🇺The European Parliament has just voted IN FAVOR of ending freedom of speech!

The EU will now crush citizens’ privacy pushed through Chat Control!

Brussels will be able to massively scan private messages and legalize the monitoring of citizens’ communications.

@P0eMPieDinges I just don’t understand why we have to drag ethnicity and nationality into it? He was a trash person regardless of where he was from–you also have many Iraqis who heal, cure, and educate your children on a daily basis.

@OakMaulersMom @VBMillennial @TiffanyFong So your argument is that we should eat all people regardless if they feel pain or not. 🤣

[Bahar | بهار @BGhandehari]

The LGBTQ+ community in Iran is one of the most persecuted groups under the Islamic Republic. Mocking a criminal leader is fair game, but turning the identity of a people the regime has oppressed for decades into a “joke” only normalizes their dehumanization.

[Zhiar @qordora]

@snappahead @MuzlimsPostingW Not really. Kurds like many other nations in the region were forced to abandon their own culture, heritage and religion due to Islamic conquests and forced conversions. Kurds were originally zoroastrians and other ancient religion believers.

[Hawzhin Azeez @hawzhin_azeez]

Who are we? Let me tell you, America! We are the Kurds you betrayed in Rojava, north-east Syria, your anti-ISIS coalition partners. You sold us to Turkey in 2018, which annexed our Kurdish city of Afrin for allied jihadist factions. Then again in 2019, when our cities of Sere Kaniye and Gire Spi were handed over to Turkey for “security concerns,” even though not a single bullet from Rojava had been fired toward Turkey. And once more in 2026, when you handed us over to the former ISIS and al-Qaeda Syrian regime under the extreme hardliner al-Jolani. Thousands of us were massacred, ethnically cleansed, hunted street by street. Our women fighters were beheaded, their braids cut as war trophies by jihadist men.

We are the Kurds you betrayed in Basur, northern Iraq, who held a popular referendum in 2017, winning by 92% to separate from Iraq, a country that had ethnically cleansed and murdered us for years, only for our freedom to be denied. The Iraqi central government, encouraged by your condemnation of our referendum, attacked us and forcibly took over our Kurdish city of Kirkuk. Our peshmerga forces were run over by Iraqi tanks. Even now, Iraqi forces continue forcing Kurds out of their homes, as they have since the 1960s, because the city is oil-rich.

We are the same Kurds in northern Iraq whom you urged to stand up against the Saddam regime in 1991, only to abandon us when we rose up. We were massacred, and 2 million of us were displaced. You were shamed into Operation “Provide Comfort,” but only after thousands of us had already been killed following your call to rise.

We are the Kurds in Bakur, western Turkey whose lives and bodies have been sacrificed because of your economic and military ties to Turkey- your NATO allies who built a jihadi corridor and openly supports ISIS, al-Qaeda and al-Nusra.

We are the same Kurds in Rojhilat whom you betrayed during the 1975 Algiers Agreement. The Kurdish uprising collapsed overnight; tens of thousands were displaced. Iraqi forces launched severe reprisals—those who witnessed what had happened to our fellow Kurds in Basur and Rojava now refuse to be your foot soldiers.
We know who you are, America.

But it’s no wonder- despite this long and painful history of betrayal- that YOU still don’t know who we are. The oppressed carry the memory of every wound, but the oppressor forgets the scars it has inflicted.

[Kurdistan Regional Government @Kurdistan]

Reports that speak about a role of the Kurdistan Region and the allegations claiming that we are part of a plan to arm and send Kurdish opposition parties into Iranian territory are completely unfounded. We categorically deny them and affirm that they are being published deliberately and maliciously.

At the same time, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the political parties within it are not part of any campaign to expand the war and tensions in the region.

On the contrary, we call for peace and stability in the region. We strongly condemn the cowardly attacks targeting the Kurdistan Region, and we call on the federal government and the international community to intervene to stop these assaults and protect our land, our people, and our region.

@Inevitablewest Fake news – the Kurds have rejected such notion and have chosen to remain neutral.
