The Iran-Israel conflict is about more than just missiles. This is how Canada should respond Why Iran’s inner turmoil, not its rockets, should guide Canada’s response.

My latest op-ed on #Iran-Israel war in the @thestar.com

"Western coverage often casts Iranians as a single, uniform bloc, either villains or oppressed. On the ground, however, reality shows a far more intricate, textured landscape."

Reporter: "How imminent is #Israeli strike on #Iran"
#Trump: "I don't want to say imminent but it looks like something that could very well happen...#Iran can't have nuclear weapons"

بیایید هر روز با خود تکرار کنیم: ⁧‫#تجاوز‬⁩ جنسی بیش از آنکه ناشی از نیاز جنسی باشد، تلاشی‌ست برای سلطه بر بدن «دیگری». دیگریی، بدنی، که در طی فرآیندی تاریخی از انسانیت تهی شده است.

‏تجاوز نتیجه مناسبات قدرت و سلطه‌است و نیاز جنسی نقش ثانوی داره.

Presenting my research @ the Canadian Communication Association @ 3:30PM today. Hope to see you there.

Here is the title:

جناب مستطاب فوتبالیست مملکت رسما اعلان کردن همه مردها می‌توانند متجاوز باشند (نهادینگی فرهنگ تجاوز) و برخلاف زمانی که زنها درباره آزارهای جنسی می‌نویسند، هجوم «البته نه همه مردها» را نمی‌بینیم (جنسیت‌زدگی و دفاع از ساختار مسلط مردسالار)

I'm glad the uneducated members of the Right have learned to hide behind the word 'activism'.

A term that represents the very ideals they fear: equity, fairness and anything that just may level the playing field for the marginalized.

امیدوارم. واقعا امیدوارم

بعید می‌دونم، تعداد زیادی از امضا کننده‌ها در فضای مجازی حضور دائم دارند و بعیده از ماجرا بی‌خبر باشند. برخی هم که بیشتر رسما کنار آزارگران دیگر ایستاده‌اند. متن بیانه هم که فبها!

#نرگس_محمدی زن مقاومیست. متاسفانه تجربه مکرارا کارکرد فرسایشی جوایز و نشانهای بین‌المللی را نشان داده.

برنده پس از مدتی تبدیل میشود به دستگاه صدور بیانه و مصاحبه‌های بی‌سر و ته. مثل این بیانیه زیر که فهرستی بلندبالاست از اصلاح‌طلبان حکومتی، تا آزارگر جنسی و مهره‌های امنیتی.

My thoughts exactly!

Should we tell him that no political gift is ever free?

#AirForceOne

"Everyday in #Palestine children are being slaughtered, maimed, and starved to death....

What is happening in #Gaza is not a matter of opinion. It is not complex in the way morality is made complex in order to excuse paralysis"

In light of #Trump's outright falsehoods, PM @mark-carney.bsky.social demonstrating insane amount of restraint not calling him out in his face!

According to #ElectionsCanada, a by election costs $1.7 million!

Just calling out the price tag for #Poliviere's ambitions.

One more thought:it seems like every other day, #Trump discovers a new way USians are being “taken advantage of” by foreign "Nations"

So... are American capitalist elites,pardon me, "job creators"really this gullible and unintelligent? Or is this just another distraction from a declining US empire?

Just when you think #Trump can't get any dumber, he resurfaces with something like this:

The movie industry in US is dying not because other Nations r taking advantage of USians (why is Nations capitalized?) it's because of the very nature of Capitalism, which goes where it can find cheap labour!

I guess everyone has a price! Even progressives like #AdamVaughan

Precisely my point. Why should the tax payer pay for PP's political opportunism? I thought the Conservatives were all about protecting the taxpayer!

The messaging is so convoluted, it leaves no doubt that there was no "offer" to resign

This is too delicious👇

Dear Woke Gods, is it too much to ask PP loses this one too?

1- #DamineKurek: I was given a "mandate", which means he was ordered by #PierrePoilievre to resign. #Poilievre though says he accepted Kurek's "offer" to resign.

2-Why should the #Canadian tax payer pay for a career politician's failed ambitions?Canada just held an election and #Conservatives lost!

So #PeteHegseth’s next or is The Donald still pretending like that frat boy can be trusted with national defense?

Perhaps @schumer.senate.gov and his ilk of letter writing #Democrats wouldn't be so ineffective and inept, had they not been complicit in the dissent of #neoliberalism and their support of the 1%.

They know the limits of their politics and the doom that they help descend on the country!

I study authoritarianism & have also lived under one of the most viscous ones: #Iran

Cracking down on dissidents, anti-woke rhetoric, silencing of critical voices are all too familiar aspects of fascism & authoritarianism

I hope USians know today it's #MohamadMahdawi & #Palestine tomorrow it's you

BREAKING: Pierre Poilievre asks US President Trump for political asylum

Donald, Canadians not only reject you and your hallucination authoritarian word vomit, they are also rejecting your opportunistic wanna be #PierrePoliviere
