Please boost & support Idris however you can! I greatly admire his vision & clarity. This is part of a coordinated Zionist effort to suppress Palestinian liberation struggles. We must fight back.
BREAKING: Texas State Fires Professor over Palestine Speech
Philosopher Idris Robinson is being fired for having principles.
He gave a talk on Palestinian resistance.
He would not condemn it.
Over a year later, TXST terminates his tenure-track contract. But he's fighting back.🧵
Western tankies will tell you that Islamic Republic of Iran is a heaven for Trans Iranians who are apparently being given free gender transition surgery, but this is the truth here, trans women in Iran are being murdered. Talk about it!

"The purpose of nationalist narratives is to allow imperialist forces to take advantage of the peoples of the Middle East [...] But becoming like western states or having a monarchy are not the only options we have."

It isn’t though. The idea that a people have “shared interest” with the nation-state that kills them and oppresses them, and never stops killing them and oppressing them (including during war times), is one that is in the interests of said nation state.
I think people seeing Calla Walsh as “ultimately a leftist” or “ultimately on our side” can only maintain that view through not seeing Iranians as real people.
@weirdbeingg Also, why would you be more relaxed during the 6 months? If anything, I'd be more anxious & stressed out than ever at the prospect of somehow messing up & losing the money.
@bballcasuall I've lived a long time. I don't believe I've ever randomly thought that someone is a millionaire. Is this a common passing thought for others?
@rechelon I don't understand how they're adding the waste heat to the power consumption, as the waste heat should be some percentage of the power used. But if the facility really will run at 9 gigawatts, that is a ton of power & will have a range of environmental effects.
Arguing that sex workers can't consent is endorsing rape culture and continuing the idea that certain people are always available to be abused because they don't deserve the right to consent.
Think about the long-term implications of saying SWs can't be raped.
its strange that english speaking decolonial crowd are stuck in 1950s & 70s iran,
as if history stopped after the coup, or after the Khomeiniist counter revoltion,
reducing the complex history & politics of iran to Mossadegh & CIA is itself a form of stereotypical distortion,
Much of Francis Galton’s inspiration for eugenics was the selective breeding of farm animals. From older practices and tools like shackles, collars, branding, and castration practices, to modern ones like the electric cattle, are tools that were used on nonhuman animals first.
“Salsay Weyane Tigray, a Tigrayan opposition party, issued an urgent press release on today calling on the international community & the Saudi Arabian government to intervene & prevent the execution of Tigrayan migrants currently on death row in the kingdom”
Stop the executions!
The never ending obsession w/h what women wear in iran’s streets,
from both “anti-west” & “pro-west” camps,
& the political agency of the brutally crushed 2020 Jin Jiyan Azadi/Jina Amini uprising that challenged the mandatory hijab law is always erased from these “reports”
Anarchism is unavoidably a "totalizing" ideology because we're not pluralistic "panarchists" who would happily accept there being a patriarchal state in the next town over.
Core to the Beautiful Idea is the notion that our freedom is entangled with EVERYONE's freedom.
To comrades who ask “how can we help people in iran?”:
- Condemn the daily execution of prisoners by the IRI regime,
- Call out/debunk the “january protestors were Mossad” state propaganda/lie/conspiracy that routinely goes viral on this website,
