On a ban% speed run. I make empty threats of violence against fascists and white supremacists for my mental health.

@lyanmeow @hahussain There is a distinction between sinning, publicly endorsing sinning, and making a social institution out of sin.
All Muslims can justify the first, Shias can justify the second, but no sect of Islam allows for the third.
English
Allow me to criticize them for mischaracterizing the Islamic faith. Not a single school in Islam allows gender mixing at any point of worship or anywhere at a place of worship. There are exceptions for pilgrimage but then again, women must be accompanied by a mahram man and cannot lead any part of any mixed rituals or mix with non-mahram men. (Women can lead women in women-only sections).
I respect the right of AOC and Mamdani to practice whatever faith they please. What bothers me is that they use an Americanized version of Islam as an identity marker. If they’re going to play loose with Islamic teachings like this, what’s the point of practicing them? What heritage are they exactly preserving? American Islam?
Rabbi Poupko@RabbiPoupko
I will never criticize someone for following their faith or for making all of their constituents feel more represented. If Zohran Mamdani hosts a large Muslim prayer on Eid in NYC and AOC comes with a Burka, I respect that and wish them an Eid Mubarak. HOWEVER, when everyone knows that they will boycott the Israel Day Parade this Sunday, when AOC regularly BOYCOTTS meetings with NYers just because they are Jewish, the word for this becomes discrimination. Racial, religious, and national discrimination. That is unacceptable.
English
@Zeitsturm Hot take: they're both performing and pandering. One as an ally, another as a coon. In this case, I kinda rate the ally more, as she is visibly trying. Meanwhile Mamdani is dressed like an immature child
English
The juxtaposition between AOC and mamdani in this video perfectly encapsulates how westerners see muslims vs how muslims actually are.

This was Gaza on October 7. Palestinians celebrating in the streets as terrorists dragged the bodies of murdered Israeli women. Remember this next time someone calls them “freedom fighters.”

Huckabee’s argument has two problems: bad history and bad morality.
His list is padded with lies.
Seedless watermelons: invented in Japan, 1930s.
First cell phone: Motorola, USA 1973.
GPS: U.S. military.
Cherry tomatoes: existed for centuries. Israel only improved shelf-life varieties.
He is using false history to demand moral silence.
So when Huckabee says critics of Israel should give up cell phones, GPS, or medical innovations, he is making a childish argument.
You do not get moral immunity because people in your country contributed to modern life.
By that logic, no one could criticize America while using the internet, no one could criticize Britain while speaking English, or no one could criticize China while using paper.
Clash Report@clashreport
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: I hear people say, “I don’t want anything to do with Israel.” Okay, give up your cell phone. Give up car navigation. Give up some medical innovations that may have saved some member of your family’s life. Be sure, by the way, to give up some conveniences like cherry tomatoes and seedless watermelons while you’re at it. And let’s just go ahead and don’t buy anything that has an Nvidia or an Intel chip. Let’s get rid of most of your computers and a whole lot of the software that you use because it was innovated here. And I’m sorry to break it to you, but if you hate Israel that much, you’re going to be living a very different kind of life.

@FarqadainA92962 @ShaykhAzhar @RedAlRafidhi Seyyed Sistani explicitly calls for unity with Sunnis calling them "[a part] of ourselves". So, your sectarianism flies in the face of a Representative of the Imam. In doing so, you are equally as rebellious as the People of Saqifa.
English
In Bahrain, the Shia community continues to face an intensifying crackdown, with dozens of Shia scholars arrested in recent days.
At the same time, Sheikh Farhan al-Mansour, the Imam and preacher of the shrine of Sayyidah Zainab (a) in Damascus was assassinated last week.
If Islamic unity is to carry any real meaning, both Shia and Sunni voices need to unequivocally condemn these injustices and stand against sectarian persecution wherever it occurs.

@CilvisNova @MichaelQiu14 @Villgecrazylady Human rights do not consistently have a tangible effect on our reality. If they did, we would be consistent and effective in human rights' prosecution and execution. But we're not, so it's as real a concept as a Disney Princess.
English
@MichaelQiu14 @Villgecrazylady There's no real point in calling them out as 'fictional' when the forces are real and have a tangible effect on our reality. Like the concept of day and night isn't real. There just is and isn't time where light of the sun touches earth.Calling day and night fictional is nonsense
English
“Human rights are not real bc if we cut a human open you will only find organs and a brain. No human rights…. Mountains are real bc I can see and touch them.”
These are not deep thoughts. This is the way a child thinks. It’s annoying how many tech elites treat this godless dipshit as some sort of a savant.

@BiankaB12 Going topless in the pool is not a big deal here in Europe.
If the man can’t keep his hands to himself, or his dck under control, then he doesn’t belong there… or even in Europe, for that matter.

@Fish_Flakes546 @The_RomaArmy So, that's classic bigotry.
Do enough black people speak up about black crime?
Do enough Muslims speak up about Jihadism?
Do enough Jews speak up about Israel?
The question inherently places collective blame on a group and prejudicially expects apologia.
English
@The_RomaArmy Problem is not enough men speak up.
It’s not all men, but enough for every woman to have a story
English
That’s not happening. This is:
Women: Stop raping us.
Most men: Yes. Rapists belong in prison.
Women: We want equal pay.
Most men: Sure, equal pay for equal work.
Women: Respect our autonomy.
Most men: Agreed.
What men are actually objecting to is being collectively blamed, dehumanized, mocked as predators, and told their own issues don’t matter. Sit this one out “Jezz”.
jezz@JezziiB
Women: Stop raping us. Men: That's misandry! Women: We want equal pay. Men: Why are you such a radical leftist? Women: Please respect our autonomy. Men: Why do you hate men so much?!

We need to correct the record.
The Starlink story was a cover.
Hesam Alaeddin was not murdered just for seeking a connection to the free world. He was murdered in an armed cartel robbery.
The actual motive was cryptocurrency. Hesam used Starlink to bypass the regime's digital cage so he could trade freely. He held massive digital assets, and the IRGC knew it. Because their foreign financial networks are being systematically choked off, the terrorist Islamic Regime is completely bankrupt. They have only one revenue stream left to fill their deficits: plundering the Iranian people.
They targeted the Alaeddin family because they were the perfect mark: deeply wealthy (their great-uncle owns the famous Alaeddin Mall), religious, but fearlessly and openly anti-regime.
Here is the exact timeline of how this slaughterhouse operates:
Weeks ago, dozens of security forces raided the Kamranieh apartment of Hesam’s brother, Hamid, using "Starlink" as the excuse. Hamid resisted. They shot him in the leg and dragged him to the hospital in handcuffs.
When Hesam and the family went to the hospital to check on him, the agents set a trap. They demanded everyone's phones and belongings as a condition for the visit. When the visit ended, they returned everything—*except* Hesam’s phone and his belongings. They wanted his digital wallets.
Then they took Hesam.
They dragged him into the dark and broke him under brutal interrogation and torture. Later, they brought him back and dumped him in the lobby of his own building. Right there, in front of his twin little daughters, they beat him with batons.
When the neighbors killed their lights and started chanting against the regime in the dark, the executioners screamed back: *"Everything you have is from the charity of the regime!"* The clash escalated. They dragged Hesam away one last time.
The next phone call his family received was to come and collect his corpse.
They are out of money, and they are openly executing citizens to liquidate their assets. They are not a government.
They are a bankrupt terrorist syndicate robbing the hostages at gunpoint.

@pati_marins64 Yeah, but that's just because you're an ignoramus that has no idea how Iran works.
If Khamenei at this point goes back in his nuclear commitment, then he loses legitimacy (for reasons I suspect are wholly lost on you).
English
No way. With 440kg enriched at 60% and with at least 4 versions of dual-capable missiles, obviously Iran was building a weapon, if they don't already have one.
It is possible that many people defend Iran's right to have a weapon since Israel has one and has never been inspected. But no one can coherently say that the Iranian program is peaceful.
Stephen Wertheim@stephenwertheim
Iran has said exactly that.

@SharifiZarchi An unidentified unnamed source from an unspecified location is all you're going on. That and vibes.

The Islamic Republic regime is SYSTEMATICALLY LYING about the number of people killed in Iran. The official claim of 3,117 deaths (including 692 labeled “terrorists”) is a FABRICATION.
HRANA has released the names of 7,000+ people killed, including cities, dates, and identifying details for each victim:
en-hrana.org/the-crimson-wi…
The same report documents 25,000+ civilians injured and 53,000+ arrests.
The claim of “692 terrorists” by the Islamic Republic exposes ANOTHER MAJOR LIE. While the regime published a list of 3,117 names, it has repeatedly refused to identify which individuals are supposedly terrorists. This refusal is deliberate. The moment such labeling is attempted, the lie collapses.
Iranian police widely use body cameras, and security forces routinely deploy cameramen. If 692 armed terrorists had actually been killed, the state would possess—and eagerly release—thousands of videos, images, and documentary records. None have been provided.
I have received first-hand testimony from a former head of a county forensic medicine office who served until very recently. According to him, the 3,117 names reported by the regime include only deaths formally registered in forensic medicine reports—cases that legally require autopsy. Many deaths never enter this system at all. Others are assigned false causes of death solely to allow burial permits.
In his small city (name withheld for safety reasons), only 15 deaths were officially recorded. Yet in just four hospitals, where colleagues were on shift, around 40 deaths occurred on a single day (Jan 8)—based solely on what medical staff directly witnessed.
Because a cause of death must be registered for burial, the result is clear: countless victims received fabricated death certificates, and the true number of those killed may never be fully recoverable, even after this regime falls.
To enforce silence, the regime arrested dozens of physicians and nurses, deliberately intimidating hospitals to prevent the release of information and to deter medical staff from treating or documenting the injured. It also applied systematic, well-documented pressure on families—coercing them to claim their children were Basij members in order to retrieve bodies, or using intimidation to deliberately reclassify protesters and manipulate the death toll.
What the regime has done is not transparency.
It is state-organized erasure of the dead.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi@araghchi
Fulfilling our pledge of full transparency towards our own people, Iran's Government has already published a comprehensive list of all 3117 victims of recent terrorist operation, including about 200 officers. If anyone disputes accuracy of our data, please share any evidence.

@BrendanHartnett Show me the fatwa reference in the original Farsi, then I'll believe it's an actual ruling. Otherwise. It's just a bald-faced lie spread by soulless genocidal bigots.
English
This is actually one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever read. You can question or even oppose U.S. military intervention in Iran without denying that the Islamic Republic rapes and tortures its citizens who are brave enough to speak out against the authoritarian regime.
Secular Talk ([email protected])@KyleKulinski
This is the fakest thing I've ever heard and they're trotting it all out because they want some sort of justification for the hell they're about to unleash on a country that didn't attack us.
English
@Cernovich 3,000-ish people died. There is quite literally no other evidence other than unverified eyewitness accounts.
Any other number than that is more or less the consequence of a severe mental illness.
English
You can disagree with bombing Iran, but you’re either uninformed or dishonest if you deny that 50,000 Persians were murdered by the regime. That happened. You can say it’s not our fight. Plenty of debate to be had. Don’t do propaganda for the demonic mullahs tho.

After the 79 revolution, Khomeini immidiately seized the American Embassy in Tehran and took 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days.
This happened despite the fact that President Carter supported the Khomeini's revolution, shamelessly betrayed the Shah and did not even allow him entry into America.
All in order to have a "good" relationship with the new Mullahs of Iran but Khomeini was very quick to explain the realality to him.
To suggest that the Islamic Republic became an enemy of the United States primarily because of Israel reflects a serious misunderstanding of history.
@AnaKasparian
The Resonance@Partisan_12
ANA KASPARIAN: The only reason we have a bad relationship with Iran is because of Israel. If Israel gets its way, the U.S. will pursue regime change in Iran. Americans will pay for it and U.S. soldiers will risk their lives. It won’t benefit the United States, but Israel.

Dear @elonmusk
As an Iranian, I am formally requesting that you place a gray checkmark on the account of Crown Prince @PahlaviReza, as he is the official leader of Iranians and Iran. Millions of unarmed civilians in Iran are shouting his name and “Javid Shah” (Long Live the King), and this should be respected.
Many of my fellow Iranians will agree.
Thank you for your consideration.
Kind regards,

@NathanJRobinson It always has claimed that infinite right. Previous administrations cynically dressed it up in international law language to make it justifiable.
English
Is it even worth pointing out that it's a violation of the UN Charter to threaten to attack a sovereign country? That there is zero justification, moral or legal, for what Trump is doing? Does anybody even care, or does the U.S. just claim the infinite right to kill and destroy?
