hot take: if you're an American, this is not a nuanced issue. you do not need to "listen to Iranian voices" here. you need to tell your leaders to stop bombing a country and killing people. that's literally it.

If you want to read voices of young artists in Iran, please support the comics anthology "Young in Iran" published with @comicsworkshop.bsky.social It's 264 pages, 6x9 inches, and was censored by Kickstarter. Take a look: www.sequentialartistsworkshop.org/saw-shop/p/y...

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

WPD claims to be down some like 60 officers.

They still have plenty of work time to harass unhoused folks under the Green St. bridge, even when it is actively snowing.

Seems to me they still have more officers than they need.

I don't think stories about people eligible for retirement continuing to work are inspiring, regardless of specifics.

There are several ways a dictatorship can transition to a democracy. A foreign power assassinating the dictator in an unprovoked war isn't one of them.

My little town has almost everything I need except for an Ethiopian restaurant. I’m thinking about suing somebody over it. Somebody.

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city β€” you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders.Β You will be safe here.

I don’t know why anyone would have an expectation in the UN holding US + Israel govts accountable. Netanyahu slaughtered Palestinians in a televised genocide with US money & help & the world cheered him on. Institutions won’t save us.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

"Peace through Strength" always sounds like something a fictional over the top dictator would say

Instead its real life in the US

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
