Iran’s Shervin Hajipour wins #Grammys2023 for his song “Barayeh” in Persian. The song became the anthem of the uprising of Iranian people against the Islamic Republic regime and for “Woman, Life, Freedom”
The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson
Karon Blake, 13, was shot & killed by a NE man who tells police he saw him breaking into cars early Sat. Tonight Karon’s school shared photos of him, describing him as a quiet & inquisitive 6th grader who loved football & fashion. Police have not yet id’d or charged shooter. 1/2
It took me a minute to realise this is a shopping mall in Tehran. This is what everyday protest in Iran looks like - and what no turning back looks like. Extraordinary. (A friend sent me this video).
Expecting parents want to do the right thing. When the doctor suggests a screening test, they often say yes. The downside? Many don’t realize the tests are unregulated by the FDA. And that comes at a cost. Our new story for @propublica builds on past reporting:
The families of Iran’s World Cup soccer team have been threatened with imprisonment and torture if the players fail to “behave” ahead of the match against the USA on Tuesday, a source involved in the security of the games tells @kileycnn
This isn’t pro-life. It’s reproductive justice. Pro-life is about controlling others’ decisions. Reproductive justice is about making sure everyone has the rights and resources to care for their families. This is a reproductive justice policy.
Tired of the disconnect Tired of building bridges folks are too proud to cross. Tired of fighting for my perspective to not ONLY be heard but also RESPECTED & beyond tired of dominant voices being dominant ‼️ diaspora: AMPLIFY TODAY instead of posting half-baked opinions #Iran
When one side has a monopoly on weapons and violence, and the other side is *students*, it’s not a “clash”
CNN EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION: What really happened Nika Shahkarami? New witnesses and videos contradict Iran’s claims about the teen protestor’s death. Thread… 1/9 Our latest investigation with @GianlucaMezzo @ANPour #Nika edition.cnn.com/2022/10/27/mid…
Today marks 40 days without Mahsa (Jina) Amini. Thousands of people walked to her grave in Saqqez, Kurdistan to mark the memorial. Jina, you will never die, your name has become a code. #MahsaAmini #JinaAmini #IranProtests #مهسا_امینی
So disheartening to see some folks frothing at the mouth attacking people who don’t have the exact same political views as them when it comes to opposition to the Islamic Republic. You’re HELPING them with your divisive nonsense. 1/n #IranProtests #IranProtests2022 #MahsaAmini
The thing is Nazanin jan — we are all on the same side. Some people’s mission is to humanize Iranians, others to highlight atrocities. Neither is wrong, both necessary. So why are we all arguing — the ultimate goal has always been supporting the Iranian people in being heard.
1. The Iranian diaspora has long focused its advocacy on the possibility that Iran might make a sudden turn towards democracy. This was advocacy inherently focused on bringing about a best-case scenario. But what if a worst-case scenario is now materialising in Iran?
I shared these images on TikTok and people are losing their minds insisting that it's a lie - it's wild how indoctrinated people are about abortion theguardian.com/world/2022/oct…
