Let me introduce you to a brave hero from my country, Iran.
She was 16 years old. Just a girl. And on the streets of Iran, she did something braver than most people do in a lifetime: she took off her hijab and burned it in public. Right in front of the regime. Right in front of the world.
That was her crime: civil disobedience. A teenage girl refusing to obey men who claimed authority over her hair, her body, her life.
Her message spoke for millions of Iranian women:
To every man who rules over women in the name of religion, honor, or culture: We do not obey you. Your laws were never made for us.
This is what real power looks like: unarmed, unafraid, unbowed.
For that defiance, she was arrested. Her family says she was tortured and killed after falling into the hands of security forces. The Iranian authorities denied responsibility and gave a different account of her death.
Her name was Nika Shakarami. She was 16.
Now ask yourself: How many women in the West know her name? How many know what she risked for a freedom they have never had to fight for?
Say her name: Nika Shakarami.
Exactly two years ago, the ‘Beautiful Six’, were executed in captivity in Gaza. This is one of the last videos of them, and perhaps most powerfully, includes them celebrating Chanukah. May their light always burnish the darkness! 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️
Dana Petrenko was trying to run away from Gazans that massacred Israelis at Nova festival. She had a panic attack and fell down.
Gazans murdered her. They also murdered her boyfriend Daniel Goltman (he could've run away but stayed beside her).
Monsters call it "resistance".
This is October 7th.
Thousands of Palestinians are chanting "Allah Akbar!" as they hit the dead bodies of Israeli civilians with sticks and stones, spit on them, and celebrate the killing of Jews.
What kind of lunatic would think they deserve a state?
Remember Nahayat Rahimi Dashti. 🕯️
She was 37 years old when she was shot in the neck and killed by the murderous Islamic Republic of Iran on January 8.
Her mother said that she was a fighter.
The regime took her life but we will not forget her.
Share it everywhere!
Her ten-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.
This is life for Christians in Islamic Nigeria. The media remains silent.
They killed Dr Aida Rostami for treatment of Iranian protesters 💔
She was tortured by the Islamic regime before executing her in public. Her body was full of fractures, her nose was broken, her left eyes were gauged,her shoulders were broken
This is why regime should fall.
On October 7 they filmed the rapes, the murders, the kidnappings and broadcast it in real time. They hid nothing. They were proud of it.
And in Gaza, civilians went into the streets and celebrated while they watched.
That is not resistance, that is a culture that treats slaughter as a victory.
Dear Mr. President,
I have been posting about the murder of Ashli Babbitt by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd. Who had since been promoted to Captain.
I have been doing these posts for over 4 years, hoping to get your attention and the DOJ.
I'm BEGGING for an independent investigation of the murder of Ashli! As you know there is no statute of limitations on murder one or murder two!
Ashli's family and friends deserve to see justice served! I'm that confident that an independent investigation will reveal that Michael Byrd is culpable for the murder of Ashli Babbitt.
Thank you for your attention to this matter! @realDonaldTrump@POTUS@VP@TheJusticeDept@FBIDirectorKash
Don’t stay silent. Be their voice.
Demand an immediate end to the execution of political prisoners and protesters in Iran. Free them all before it is too late.
Stand with the people of Iran in their fight for freedom, dignity, human rights, and an end to this brutal Islamic regime.

בי נשבעתי, כל יום תופיע כאן תמונה של משפחת סימן טוב קדם זכרם לברכה,
הענף שנכרת בעץ המשפחתי שלי.
תמרי קדם בת דודתי,ג'ון בעלה, ארבל שחר ועומריקו המלאכים.
שהופקרו ונרצחו בניר עוז.
עד שממשלת המוות, מממנת החמאס, היהירה, המפקירה, המנותקת, המזופתת, המושחתת והאנטי ציונית תצא מחיינו.
Learned about her case last night and cried myself to sleep. This poor baby was abducted for 3 days, sexually assaulted and then forced into a trash bag and was buried alive in which she suffocated. When they discovered her body, she was found clutching her stuffed dolphin. She was just 9 years old. Continue resting in paradise Jessica Lunsford 💔🕊️
Lviv, 1941.
A young Jewish woman sits on the pavement, stripped naked, surrounded by a hostile crowd.
She tries to cover herself with her hands; her clothes lie discarded beside her. People stand and watch. One person reaches down toward her head as she looks directly into the lens.
Look at her face.
There is fear, shock, and profound humiliation. But beneath the cruelty surrounding her, there is something immutable:
her fundamental humanity.
She had a name.
A family.
A home.
People who loved her.
A future she was never allowed to claim.
The image was captured on 8mm film by German personnel. Later discovered by U.S. forces in an SS barracks in Augsburg, the footage is now preserved in Holocaust archives—a permanent record of an atrocity that was meant to be forgotten.
Before the Holocaust, more than 200,000 Jews called Lviv home. Under Nazi occupation, that community was systematically persecuted, deported, and murdered. Only a fraction survived.
During the 1941 pogroms, Jewish men, women, and children were targeted relentlessly, with women subjected to targeted, public degradation.
This photograph captures more than physical violence. It captures the mechanics of dehumanization—the deliberate, witnessed destruction of a human being's dignity.
We may never learn this woman’s name.
We may never know her final moments.
But by looking at her face, we refuse the ultimate aim of her tormentors: to erase her from memory.
We remember that she was someone.
