Let me introduce you to a brave young woman from my country, Iran.
Her name was Hadis Najafi. She was only 22 years old.
The morality police in Iran killed Mahsa Amini over a few strands of hair. Hadis Najafi responded by taking off her hijab entirely and going into the streets to protest the Islamic Republic.
Before going out to protest, Hadis filmed herself walking in the street. She said:
“I hope that years from now, I can look back and be happy that I went out to protest, because everything changed.”
She never got to see those years.
In September 2022, after Iran’s morality police killed Mahsa Jina Amini because they decided her hijab was “improper,” Hadis went into the streets of Karaj to end this barbaric regime.
She went for Mahsa. She went to demand freedom from a murderous regime.
Hadis was unarmed. Her voice was her only weapon. But Security forces opened fire.
I spoke to her family. They told me how they saw the pellet wounds all over her body her face, her neck, her chest.
Hadis was killed. And killing her was not enough.
The authorities pressured her family to say she died naturally. They withheld her body and tried to silence them.
Her family refused.
Even at her funeral, security forces surrounded them. They could not even mourn their 22-year-old daughter in peace.
Think about this:
First, they killed a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa, over a few strands of hair.
Then they killed another 22-year-old woman, Hadis, for protesting her killing.
They tried to erase Hadis.
Instead, she became a symbol.
Today, more women across Iran walk publicly without compulsory hijab.
Hadis dreamed that one day she would look back and see that everything had changed and Iran will be free from Islamic Republic.
That dream is not dead.
What shocks me is how many young people I meet at universities and colleges across the free world who have never heard her name. They know so many heroes from history, but they don’t know the heroes who are making history right now.
That is why I tell these stories.
Another flashback: Mamdani straight-up lies about his aunt no longer feeling safe on the subway after 9/11.
Welp... she wasn't even in the country at the time; she was living in Tanzania.
The RNLI are now making out they had no choice to collect the migrants as that stretch of water is very dangerous. Apparantly they only have 2 boats so if a member of the public had been in trouble there wouldnt have been anyone available to rescue them as they were too busy collecting migrants 🤬

If Pete wants to give me proof through the night that his flag is still there, I will moisturise specifically for the occasion

JB Pritzker just announced he will spend $20 million of his own dollars to take down Conservatives in the House and prop up his communist buddies running on the left.
@elonmusk I sure hope we can count of you to help with some of these races. Please🙏🩷
MAN CAUGHT TRYING TO RAPE A 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL — THEN SAYS “I AM MUSLIM. THIS IS MY RELIGION.”
A man in Britain was caught trying to rape a 14-year-old girl. His defence?
“I am Muslim. This is my religion. We have our rules.”
Well in this country we do not treat girls as fair game to do with as we wish. Anyone who does should not be here.
This is why Pakistani grooming gangs have been so rife: because they have been allowed to get away with it because institutions who should protect our children are scared of being labelled racist.
We need mass deportations.
This is not a one-off. This highlights how incompatible certain religions and certain people are with our way of life.
The sheer arrogance and belief that just because he is a Muslim, he can do this to a young child.
The problem is the judges that will no doubt free these monsters to go on a commit more heinous crimes.
Disgusting: Cal State Professor Doxxes ICE Agent - Calls For People To "F Him Up."
Professor Melina Abdullah is under fire for allegedly inciting violence against an ICE agent during a recent summit.
Is this free speech or something more dangerous?
Ladies, the second amendment applies to you as well….
Not sure what she is implying here.
Criminals ignore the law. Responsible gun owners follow it. Those two groups are not the same thing.
Nick Shirley’s life was threatened by a UC Irvine professor and we haven’t heard a peep from the university.
Matt Goldman has also threatened our federal agents. Why is he still employed by this university?
Matt should be in handcuffs, not in a lecture hall!
Wow! look at those Right Wing terrorists in Germany celebrating their historic political victories over the weekend!
They look really scary, don't they? 🤣
🔥Insanity is a legal conclusion, not a feeling.
If one juror still couldn’t treat the killings as something to look past, he was applying the only fact no one disputed: she did it.
The rest of the jury treating that as an obstacle instead of the starting point is the problem.
✨He couldn't get off the fact that she killed her children.
Good. Neither should anyone else.
THIS DOESN’T ADD UP!
Lindsay Clancy’s case ended in a mistrial, and a GoFundMe benefiting her family has reportedly raised more than $1 million, with the goal climbing toward $3 million.
GoFundMe says fundraisers tied to the legal defense of violent crimes are prohibited. So people are asking a pretty simple question: how is this one still standing?
Maybe there’s a technical distinction in how the money is being described. Fine. Then explain it clearly.
Because when the rules look strict on paper but flexible in practice, people stop trusting the rules.
Either standards mean something, or they don’t.
