The government must finally proscribe the IRGC as terrorists. Antisemitism and those who fuel it have no place in our society.

fuzzy feeling to have my video on Banksy featured in @ConversationUK theconversation.com/banksys-identi…

the pinnacle of muralism at the forefront of empty handed white saviourism.

Code Pink flew artists to Cuba to leave behind a “gift” mural. Maybe their base eats that up, but it comes off as pure performative cringe to me.

this should be regarded as historically important as Five Points

the quest to unmask Banksy feels like the final tier of “Things is why we can’t have nice things”. The article is great journalism, but can’t we just have one bit of fun

i’m torn on this one. on one hand it’s a great piece of journalism, on the other, i kinda wish it didn’t exist…just yet reuters.com/investigates/s…

@FARED_ALHOR this is part of an ongoing campaign funded by tech bros to quietly remind americans to fear Black men. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j…

A new mural honoring Iryna Zarutska has just been unveiled in San Francisco. We remember what was done to her 💔

🧵Kurdish regional politics explainer, from someone who is based in the region and can speak the language.

We are all governed by our algorithms. Mine is dominated by animals, Iran, Gaza, Donald Trump and Cole Palmer. You’d be confused by my feed. Especially the Cole Palmer Plantagenet haircut memes. However, many have missed the IRGC in Iran boasting of their two day murdering spree in January killing 95,000 innocent Iranians (their numbers, not mine), simply for protesting. We have shared why this happened. We have shared that it is still happening. We have shared that students across Iran - incredibly and bravely - are still protesting. Right now. Despite the threat of a bullet to the head. Yet - in addition to missing it - they do everything to deny it. They say nothing about the mass extermination but all of a sudden say “NO to war in Iran.” Without any knowledge of the plight of the people of Iran over the last 47 years. Without any understanding that Iranians have attempted liberation many times and failed because there was never a level playing field. Bare hands Vs military grade weapons usually leads to thousands dead and an evil regime still in power. The people of Iran DO NOT want war. They want the machinery of repression to be stopped. And in the case of the IRGC, forcibly stopped. Because their crimes against humanity will not stop if no one stops them. It will continue, regardless of any ‘deal’ negotiated with the US administration. This is not Saddam Hussein 2003. Iran does not have nukes that could reach us in 45 minutes. There will be NO regional war. This is a lie the regime has put out (lapped up by so called “progressives”) as they beg to stay in power. No one is coming to save them. And they know it. The message is: No to war. Intervention with #R2P (responsibility to protect). Rescue the people of Iran. If that is not your messaging right now, you are officially parroting a narrative of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Do you have the decency to challenge your world view? Or are you “hey wasn’t it 6 billion killed? lol 😂” That is the sense of humour George Carlin is talking about. #IranMassacre #IranianRevolution2026 Watch ⬇️

bold move for someone in the epstein files

@AmbJapanUK split the T first try

A wee swally!!🍺👍

with no sense of irony, Polanski completely missing the parallels with his NATO departure proposal

@lintr6327 @Savakzadeh he represents the transition towards democracy

@Savakzadeh Monarchy is like dictatorship why Iranians don't understand this and rather go for democracy instead?

🔴 Unbelievably brave and defiant act IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, by an Iranian patriot who tags the Basij building with “Javid Shah” meaning ‘Long live the King’ Location: Karaj, Iran.

and the winner of the worst take from Glasgows AI mural drama - the Scottish Greens, who are for no reason whatsoever trying to pit Glasgow artists against each other

@GlasgowCC looking for any consultants for your mural team? looks like you’re having a rough week 😁

rough week for the glasgow mural scene

all murals are propaganda, just some are more sickening than others. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j…
