In the 21st century, women are still fighting for their basic human rights!
I stand w/ Afghan & Iranian women urging states to codify gender apartheid as a crime against humanity & recognize institutionalized, systematized gender oppression for what it is: APARTHEID
@EGACampaign
A reminder to Palestinian and pro Palestinian comrades: don’t amplify voices that ridicule and deny the suffering of our Syrian people. They are sadly the loudest these days.
There’s a special place in hell for this stupid white man from California who celebrates our killers and dictators to garner views and followers.
Listen to people from the Middle East, not this white man sitting on his couch tweeting nonsense for attention.
🙏🇮🇷 Rest in peace to two of the great leaders of our lifetime.
We will never forget the great sacrifices that Iranian President Raisi & Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian gave for the advancements of the Iranian people, Iranian integration into the multipolarity and the heroic
Today my dear friend
@WafaMustafa9
’s father, Ali Mustafa, marked 10 years of enforced disappearance by the Assad regime in Syria.
Today we remember him and all the people unjustly detained in Assad’s prisons. 🕯️
Freedom for all political prisoners from Syria to Iran! 🕊️
Here’s an example of how to not advocate for Palestinian liberation.
Praising a regime that is occupying many countries in the region and has a long record of human rights atrocities undermines the very core principles that genuine resistance & liberation efforts should uphold.
It's disappointing that nearly all Arab countries abstained from voting to establish an independent mechanism to uncover the fate of thousands of forcibly disappeared or missing people in Syria.
Some of these countries once supported the Syrian people's revolution against Assad.
A reminder that you can support Palestinian liberation while standing against the Israeli occupation, the criminal Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Assad dictatorship in Syria all at the same time!
Collective solidarity for collective liberation is the only solution!
Gazans also celebrating in the streets today! Celebrating the death of Iranian President and foreign minister.
“Gaza celebrates the end of Muslims’ killers”
“Congratulations on the death of the Iranian criminal Raisi”
“We will never forgive who killed our children in Syria”

Right: The women shown at Raisi’s funeral.
The “morality” police terrorize women dressed like Amini daily yet they’re used as propaganda to improve the regime’s image on women’s rights issues.
One would think that with his country currently in turmoil, Putin would stop killing Syrians!
Today, Russian strikes on a busy vegetable market in the town of Jisr al-Shughur in northwestern Syria killed at least 11 civilians and injured dozens.
Civilians are not a target!
Palestinian liberation and Iranian liberation are not mutually exclusive.
The Islamic Republic of Iran and Israel may be enemies, but they are two sides of the same coin. Both maintain power by weaponizing religion.
Don't fall for the propaganda of either side.

Hi Iranian here 👋
Unless you’ve lived in Iran, you do not understand how a police state works.
Are there people who support the regime? Sure.
Is everyone attending Raisi’s funeral willingly? No.
Public sector employees are often required to participate in regime-held events.
You don't need Western media. Just look at the death toll of protesters & the number of political prisoners in those countries. It clearly shows how these “beloved” leaders have to use fear & violence to stay in power.
You can't oppose Western imperialism while endorsing tyrants
Every time the Western media claim someone is “hated” at home it is a lie.
They lie about Raisi. They lie about Assad. They lie about Qaddafi. They lie about Maduro. They lie about Putin. They lie about Xi Jinping.
They want to brainwash you into supporting imperialist wars.
My people are fighting with bare hands and getting brutally killed on the streets. Instead of amplifying their voices, CNN puts their killers in the headline! Shame

It was only recently that the streets of Iran were stained red, not with roses, but with the blood of Iranian youth killed & tortured for demanding freedom.

So many have ignored the hard work the

For 2 years, SETF fought to include Syria in the Denton Program, which wasn't initially among the eligible countries. That's why it is a pretty significant operation!.

Your show has profited from the innocent blood of Palestinians for the past seven months. You have continuously given a platform to their murderers and denied the genocide they are facing.
You are among those who provide consent for Israel’s crimes.
The scenes from Rafah overnight are horrific.
I’ve defended Israel’s right to defend itself after Oct7, but slaughtering so many innocent people as they cower in a refugee camp is indefensible.
Stop this now

Iran Politics 101: The Supreme Leader is a dictator, and presidential elections are a sham.
Thousands of pro-democracy protesters weren’t killed and executed for a US representative to talk about which puppet can kill more Iranians next under the guise of reform.
Raisi was not the “President” of the Iranian people.
He was known as the “Butcher of Tehran” for overseeing the execution of thousands of political prisoners & that’s the only fitting title for him.
We Iranians deserve much better leaders than a butcher
Once again, Russia did what they always do. It’s time to move forward with what legal experts have been saying since 2014:
📌 There is no legal barrier to UN cross-border operations in Syria in the absence of a UNSC Resolution.
There’s no difference between people like Richard Medhurst and Zionists.
You are all cancers who seek to distract from human rights atrocities through lies and propaganda.

This is Nina Pop.
She is the 10th black transgender woman murdered this year.
Two days ago, she was stabbed multiple times inside her apartment.
No one has been arrested.
4 other black trans women were killed ONLY in the past four weeks.
It’s ironic how the Islamic Republic of Iran claims to be a strong anti-Western imperialist force while simultaneously occupying multiple countries in the region.
Iran is literally Israel but Shi’ite.
They’re a colonising force using religion to propel violent forced demographic changes of the Arab population with total international impunity.

Incorrect & misleading coverage of the "morality police" in Iran
❌ "Morality police return" "Iran brings back morality police" ??
📌 The "morality police" never left, but they've been overshadowed by the regime's brutal campaign of executing, kidnapping, & torturing protesters
Do leaders see the same footage from Gaza as we all do? Do they see the videos of children getting amputations without anesthesia??

Attendance rates at regime-organized events in Iran don’t reflect the sentiments of ALL Iranians toward the government. This includes the millions not allowed to dissent, political prisoners, those in exile, families of killed protesters & public sector workers required to attend
The Israeli bombing of a refugee camp inside a designated safe zone is horrific. Israel has a duty to protect innocent civilians and Palestinians seeking shelter in Rafah have nowhere safe to go.
Netanyahu’s assault of Rafah must stop. We need an immediate cease-fire.

For the innocent youth you executed
For all the innocent lives you took
For all the pain and tears you caused the people of Iran and the Middle East
We celebrate your death🚁🥂

Many provisions of the constitution apply to people who are physically in the US. The Bill of Rights is directed to “any person” not US citizens. And so undocumented immigrants are protected by the same constitutional rights as a US citizen. Read the constitution carefully.

In journalism, we learn to seek truth & minimize harm. Sharing unconfirmed news contradicts these principles.
While I truly hope that Alaa's freedom is imminent, it is important to consider the distress sharing such news can cause his family & the potential harm to his campaign.
This is NOT a rumour. I spoke early perhaps but couldn't keep this to myself. It's something we have long waited for. The decision to release him has been made. Let's just wait and pray

Our climate is in meltdown. And the poorest are paying the price.
This is breathtaking injustice.
And a terrible betrayal of younger generations.
Governments need to adopt strong policies to accelerate the global phase-out of fossil fuels & a just transition to clean energy.
