Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Newly liberated prisoners recognized several guards immediately, and you can imagine how that ended for them.

There are people who have been on this site for some time now, using it regularly enough for me to know they have to have seen posts talking about the nazis and other fascists on substack, platform alternatives, post migrations, etc., yet they continue on substack.

Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

We had parent death in Bambi and The Lion King.
We had animal cruelty in Dumbo and 101 Dalmatians.
We had child hunger and poverty in Aladdin.
We had deforestation and pollution in Fern Gully.
Should I go on?
Thank you 🫂 Being the one who “got out”, I long envied my cousins, growing up together, their closeness with our grandmother, aunts, and uncles. Now, I feel the weight of my privilege as I hope the landlines are functional and someone is alive to answer the call.

From my family in #Tehran— “It felt like night at 9 a.m. because of the smoke. The air is poisoned. I’m so angry.”
There is also fear the smoke will be used as cover for more attacks on civilians. #Iran
I am so sorry 🫂 I remember the look on the person’s face the moment she knew there was no heartbeat.
My 4yo found my stethoscope, and we took turns listening to each other’s hearts. He asked me if I liked it, and I started crying as I said, to me, it’s the most beautiful sound in the world.
Being progressive is being right too early for normie tastes. We’ve been right on Gaza and so many other issues, and Iran will be no different.

Between Iran International and Manoto, it’s reminiscent of the propaganda leading up to the 1953 coup.

The realities of the Hamas attack on October 7th and the actions of the Iranian regime are bad enough. They do not need to be embroidered to turn them into horror porn. It’s disgusting.

I filled up today and was annoyed by the cost.
Then I remembered there are people with their loved ones killed, homes destroyed, or entire families wiped out.
The price we pay.
A nuisance to some; a burden to others.
The price they pay.
Everything.
When greedy, disgusting freaks rule us all.
