At the United Nations, I confronted a disturbing reality: the Islamic Republic has been granted an advisory role at the UN Human Rights Council. Yes, the same regime that massacres protesters and shoots them in the eyes is now positioned to lecture the world on human rights. Europe’s hesitation to designate the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization has cost lives. Please listen to my message to Europeans. The time for excuse is over. #Iranmassacre

Watch until the end. Ali Karami, a 26 year old Iranian protester killed by the Islamic Republic in recent uprising, wrote this in his will before going out to protest: “If I die before my dog, please let him see my body. He understands death. He can mourn me. If he doesn’t see my body, he will think I have left and will wait for my return.” This is the kind of human being the Islamic Republic kills. A regime that calls a dog unclean, yet finds it perfectly acceptable to murder a peaceful protester. A government that fears dignity, loyalty, and love more than anything else. #IranMassacre

Bill Maher nailed this segment about the oppression of women in Muslim countries.

DAILY REMINDER: Iranians are fighting THE biggest terrorist organization on the planet with bare hands, no backup, all by themselves, paying the ultimate price. Yet this fight is for all of us. Support them. Talk about Iran.

So weird for those of us kicked out of legacy media, and now making our livings in independent media, to hear the responses to the firings of the @wapo journalists, and those of their friends. Sorry for anyone’s hardship but these reporters seem to feel that you can lie to the American people for five years with impunity, carry water for pharma, be violently partisan, treat MAGA and MAHA without any seriousness, then you can react with outraged entitlement when readers stop buying your product and you lose your jobs; as if the news outlet is a nonprofit or a state benefit, valuable just because of a brand name. Welcome to this independent media world, my former fellow colleagues, in which actual facts and objectivity matter. You’ll be fine if you tell the truth. thehill.com/homenews/media…

The Islamic Republic is planning to execute #RozhinHosseiniNezhad Raise your voice NOW. #IranMassacre #روژین_حسینی_نژاد

The “Free Palestine” movement, Hollywood at the Grammy Awards, and much of the media found their megaphone for Gaza, but conveniently fall silent as the Islamic Republic of Iran butchers its own people. My comments on Sky News Australia with @DanicaDeGiorgio

Another journalist publishes an attack piece on X but neglects to mention the depravity found over on BlueSky where her friends hang out. Make no mistake, the hatred of X lies in the fact that everyday it is used to expose the utter drivel we are served up as “news”. It is the sunlight on the complete muck that is the media. They want X gone so they can control the narrative again.

Listen to this.

I have yet to see a single journalist publicly wonder what role journalists themselves played in the decline of journalism.

Far-left terrorist site Crimethinc has written a guide on how to make the street checkpoints that are currently in practice in Minneapolis by Antifa and far-left extremists. @MinneapolisPD appears to have been instructed to allow the checkpoint sites to remain. Drivers are forced to slow down, have their plates documented, and sometimes answer questions. The checkpoints try to make the roads "no go zones" for federal law enforcement. Crimethinc is one of the main Antifa online collectives that publishes guides to violence and rioting. They're most known for their pamphlets, given out by Antifa to recruit and radicalize people they meet at protests and unions. The pamphlets argue that the state is illegitimate and that one should work toward insurgency to destroy nation-states and borders. A number of far-left terrorists convicted and currently being prosecuted have been linked to Crimethinc's content. ngocomment.com

Vahid is an Iranian Internet activist - he has become the most important distributor of citizen videos during the last uprisings in Iran. His words today: “I don't dare to open the messages. Not because of the violence in the images. That’s not as difficult as the questions from mothers whose children have been detained. They send their missing child's photo and ask me to compare it with the faces I blurred in the videos! They beg me to identify the sender of the video of their loved one's body so they can ask about their final moments.” #IranMassacre

It says a lot about the left that it will enthusiastically vandalize a memorial to a murdered woman of no political importance who did nothing wrong.

History Hour with Amelia 🌍 Mid-19th century Punjab. Mostly desert. Regular famines. Millions dead. British engineers built 75,000 miles of irrigation canals across India. That's three times around Earth's equator 🤯 2.5 million acres of wasteland turned into cropland. Lyallpur went from 7 people per square mile to 301 in thirty years. Between 1850-1900: 15 million dead in famines. After the canal system was complete: India is famine-free until the wartime Bengal crisis of 1943. We hear a lot about the mistakes of the British Empire. This bit rarely makes it into the history books. 🇬🇧

I joined an ICE watch training held by Defend the 612 organizers in Minneapolis on January 8, before they began taking additional steps to conceal their identities and activities. In the training, organizers described their goal as impeding ICE operations. They downplayed risks, delegitimized law enforcement, and encouraged participants to take risks. 🧵

They came in gas masks and riot gear, displayed symbols of the terrorist movement Antifa, and some at the front tried to rush the gate of the ICE facility, prompting pepper gas to be deployed. Adults brought children along so that their cries would be recorded on video for agitpropaganda.

The ideologues formerly known as ‘Progressives’ seem oddly quiet about Iran’s murderous ayatollahs thetimes.com/article/b3584c…

Heute musste ich das Video von Asals Mutter für eine Kollegin übersetzen. Ich habe mich mit aller Kraft beherrscht, nicht in Tränen auszubrechen. Es war kaum auszuhalten. Meine Kollegin versuchte, ihre Tränen zu kontrollieren. Man hat es gesehen. Wie erklärt man so etwas? Ein junges Mädchen flieht vor den Mullahs, vor Islamisten, vor Gewalt. Sie verlässt ihre Heimat, weil sie leben will. Frei. Sicher. In Würde. Sie glaubt an dieses Land, an seine Demokratie, an seinen Schutz. Und dann wird ihr genau hier alles genommen. Nicht durch Zufall. Nicht durch ein Unglück. Sondern durch rohe, Gewalt. Ein Täter stößt sie vor eine U-Bahn und mit einem einzigen Moment löscht er ein ganzes Leben aus. Ihre Zukunft. Ihre Träume. Ihre Hoffnung. Asdal ist nicht „nur ein Opfer“. Sie ist ein Symbol. Für all die jungen Frauen, die vor Barbarei fliehen und die trotzdem nicht sicher sind. Für Mütter, die ihre Kinder in Sicherheit wissen wollten und nun nur noch ein Grab haben. Wer nach solchen Taten noch schweigt, wer relativiert, wer wegschaut, macht sich mitschuldig. Denn das hier ist kein Einzelfall. Es ist ein Schrei. Und er darf nicht ungehört bleiben.

Let me just give you a preview of what to expect if strikes in Iran are carried out: The regime is refusing to return the bodies of the tens of thousands of innocents it massacred during its internet blackout. Once strikes begin, the Health Ministry will begin to “count” those stockpiled corpses for the first time, registering them as casualties of “American and Israeli strikes.” The social justice extremists—completely out of touch with the reality of totalitarian regimes and their propaganda strategies—will take to the internet for the first time and declare, “oh my god! Look at how many the imperialists have killed!” All the while, those casualties were the same victims of the Islamic regime whose slaughter they refused to condemn, simply because it violates their righteous roleplay in the grand theater of hating the west. It’s that tragically, horrifyingly, inhumanely simple.
