Bodycam footage of Henry Nowak, as he’s slowly dying, is most grotesquely surreal thing I’ve ever watched. The officer managing the situation shouldn’t be allowed to walk a dog, let alone be a police officer. He should be dismissed.

Can’t imagine being a parent & seeing that.

🚨As of yesterday, the Islamic regime opened up the Internet at around 30% connectivity. Forced to do it for their own interests as the country was near to complete paralysis.

As such, hundreds of videos have now come through on the telegram channels. I’ve seen about 10% of them. I have now stopped.

We always knew what this regime was capable of. The cruelty, savagery and barbarism that I am seeing now is on a different level. It is not just the foreign militias hired by the regime from Iraq and Afghanistan to do their dirty work. It is also Iranian security forces against their fellow countrymen, unarmed civilians.

The numbers being killed each day is increasing at such an alarming rate it is beyond shocking. Bodies are piled up on the streets of the major cities in black bags like garbage. Equally staggering is the silence and inaction by the international community.

Hitler tried to exterminate the Jews. What we are witnessing in Iran in real time is a government trying exterminate a segment of their own population that that does not agree with them. Even if it’s the majority, there is no stopping them.

What gives people in Iran hope is us not looking away. But most importantly - in the brief moments the internet allows them - to glimpse messages of support from people on here. Because it make them feel less lonely.

All eyes on Iran.

When talking about the uprising in Iran it is important to clearly differentiate between the Islam of millions of Muslims leading a life of service and contributing to their communities, and the appalling Islamo-fascist regime in Iran of radical fundamentalists. #IranRevolution

Every aspect of life is being stripped of color.

Many have noticed this trend — but why exactly is it happening?

Something deeper is going on… (thread) 🧵

It’s truly mind-boggling how most Americans quietly accept @AIPAC’s meddling in their elections.

AIPAC is the modern-day Redcoats, doing everything possible to keep the USA from being truly independent.

Where’s George Washington when you need him?

🚨UPDATE:
Alice Kisyia, a Palestinian Christian detained by Israeli police two days ago for peacefully protesting the theft of her family’s land by Israeli settlers, was released on bail yesterday.

The Israeli court ordered that she is not allowed to enter her own land and home for 60 days. The rightful owner is being punished, while the injustice continues—and the silence from Christians around the world is shameful.

@NasimiShabnam After returning to Kabul, the Taliban quickly declared that girls' schools would no longer be allowed, depriving millions of girls of an education. After the Taliban forbid her from entering her classroom, an Afghan girl sobs uncontrollably.

[Shabnam Nasimi @NasimiShabnam]

Women in Afghanistan are being obliterated—no voice, no face, no existence. The Taliban’s latest decrees are nothing short of barbaric: women banned from singing, reciting poetry, or even speaking aloud in public. Their faces and bodies must hidden from the world.

This isn’t just an Afghanistan tragedy; it is a stain on the global conscience, brought about by our failure to act.

The last 10 years have been economically remarkable for the poorest 20% of Indian population. Here’s one important marker: the proportion of poorest households that owned a vehicle (motorcycle/scooter,car/jeep)-
2011-12: 6%
2022-23: 40%
State-wise growth is even more fascinating!

Back from Gaza 2 days ago, Dr Tammy Abughnaim describes seeing “much more penetrating injuries” than on her last mission to Gaza including:
-drone attack on 19 month old playing outside her tent
-12 year old with gunshot wound in the chest
“Israel is targeting children,” she says

We have overprotected our children in the real world while underprotecting them online. Play researcher Mariana Brussoni explains why this is a risky way to raise children.

We must give children the time, space, and freedom to engage in risky play. At https://t.co/0gyIphzDbF
