Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

The idea that the troops themselves must be figures of uncritical adulation totally regardless of the justice of the cause in which they fight has an enormous depoliticizing effect. You must have the courage to hate the troops.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Quite literally the Axis of Evil 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇷🇺

A source close to Pope Leo XIV tells me the pontiff is expected to “condemn President Trump’s immoral and illegal strike against Iran and appeal for peace” during his Sunday Angelus.

Oh Klanada

What about (two things we can't admit the Orthodox are correct on) ???

Exploiting Palestine to do Performative Keyboard Activism

other countries should sanction the fuck out of us. we should be treated no differently than russia

Trump telling Iranians to rise up reminds me of Stalin encouraging the Polish resistance to do the same in Warsaw then having the Red Army watch as all the people who could have led a resistance to Soviet domination get slaughtered before the USSR takes over.

The international community needs to grow a spine and sanction the US as hard as they sanctioned Russia! Now!

God have mercy, this is horrible! They bombed a school full of little girls! They're doing the exact same atrocities they did in Gaza

How long will we continue to tolerate the rule of these demons? Horrible, wrathful, venal men who hate peace and decency

If you’re a Democrat in Congress who is considering supporting Trump’s illegal war in Iran, please consider self-immolation instead.

it's always funny to me when piper et al have to come to terms with their spawn

not to be constantly stating the obvious but part of the tragedy and anxiety of the present crisis is that a failure to act on it will lead to an epoch of barbaric nihilism hereunto unseen

Catholic Church should rely on lifelong parishioners that can share wisdom, not celebrities that have been put on a pedestal.
