TIME’s new cover: After thousands of protestors were killed in the streets of Tehran, five leading Iranian writers reflect on the state of the country they long to return to https://t.co/PCes5wYbQr
Based on verification of images, reports and comparative investigative analysis by the International Centre for Human Rights, to date approximately 43,000 people have been killed, 350,000 injured, 20,000 arrested and await possible execution.
“Taken together, ICHR believes that this body of evidence, methods, and data presents a clear picture of a systematic and organized campaign of repression and mass killing; one that may silence the streets in the short term, but will not resolve the underlying crisis.
Silence by the international community in the face of such violent repression and crimes against humanity will only enable the repetition and escalation of these atrocities.”

Amid Iran’s internet blackout, it’s difficult to hear from eyewitnesses just what happened during the country’s brutal crackdown but @JomanaCNN manages to do just that in this extraordinary report.
Shout out to the not-convicted email lady, who kept her cool all those years that trump and his moronic goons chanted "Lock her up!"
Who's laughing now, bitches?
HINT: not you
Let’s be very clear. Republicans DO NOT want a solution to the border crisis.
A solution would rob them of their key election weapon. The Republican Party is the extortion party. They have embarked upon demanding draconian immigration legislation , in order to make it impossible for progressive and even moderate democrats to accept.
They do this, in the full knowledge it will paralyze government not only on border issues, but on foreign aid to Ukraine who are being punished for exposing Trump for blackmailing them to dish up the dirt on fictitious bribery claims.
The sole purpose of the Republicans, is to prepare the ground for a dangerous dictatorship that they hope will put an end to freedoms they don’t sanction.
Joe Biden is right to say, this is a battle for the soul of a nation. There will be no second chance if we get this wrong.
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

A handball is a handball unless you play for Arsenal.
Two hands on the back is a push unless you play for Arsenal.
Celebrating a 97th minute winner doesn’t warrant you a suspension unless you play for Arsenal.
Iranians on the streets of the city of Zahedan are chanting “Neither #Gaza, nor Lebanon, my life is only for #Iran!” and the Islamic Republic regime is responding to my compatriots’ peaceful chants with a violent crackdown— including against children…
The regime occupying our country is the godfather of terrorism in the Middle East. No Iranian, Israeli, or Arab will be safe as long as this criminal regime is in power. Lasting peace in the Middle East can come sooner than expected if the world takes real action to help the Iranian people overthrow this terrorist empire.
