Extraordinary crowds as a mass funeral procession begins in Minab, Iran for the 165 school girls & teachers killed in the US/Israeli school strike on Saturday.
Many outcomes of this war are uncertain. But a renewed generation of hatred towards the West is now baked in.

🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responds to President Trump’s warning that Iran better not retaliate or face force never seen before. Araghchi said: “We are defending ourselves. And we have every legitimate right to defend ourselves. What the United States is doing is an act of aggression. What we are doing is an act of self-defense. There are huge differences between these two. So one should tell the President of the United States: do not attack, do not make any aggression against another country. But nobody can tell us that we don’t have any right to defend ourselves. We are defending ourselves, whatever it takes.”

QueerAF newsletter screenshot. Text that reads: Another study has found new evidence that Trans+ athletes have little competitive advantage, concluding there is no evidence “to justify blanket bans”. A comprehensive study of over 5,000 Trans+ athletes, has found that trans women likely do not have athletic advantages over cisgender women after undergoing hormone therapy. Published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, it found that while trans women’ showed higher levels of lean mass than cis women, they had roughly equivalent metrics in lower body strength and oxygen consumption - them For trans men, the study found that after one to three years of starting hormones, they had less fat, more muscle, and greater strength. However, researchers did state that they had focused on physiological factors, and that more work on the "social, psychological and cultural factors" would also be of value - The Independent
Researchers found no evidence "to justify blanket bans" and that the data doesn’t support the prevalent 'inherent athletic advantage theories'

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, considered a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, recently repeated the racist lie that “Hamas… raped innocent people on October 7,” while appearing on the I’ve Had It podcast, where host Jennifer Welch asked him about Israel’s actions in Gaza. The claim continues to be routinely repeated, without challenge, including in progressive political spaces, despite the lack of substantiating evidence. More than 27 months later, Israel has not produced enough evidence to convince a single independent international body, including the UN Commission of Inquiry, or major human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, that even a single incident of rape definitively occurred on October 7. These unsubstantiated allegations function as a propaganda tool, used to dehumanize Palestinians and to justify continued U.S. and Israeli mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Free Speech Union post on Facebook: MEDIA RELEASE: UK threat to ban X reveals how safety rhetoric becomes censorship infrastructure "We're watching regulatory mirroring in real time. The UK threatens, Indonesia blocks, Australia criticises. Each action makes the next more acceptable." If this were about child safety, governments would prosecute those creating the material, not threaten to ban entire platforms. The Free Speech Union has warned New Zealand: do not follow this path.
What the FSU misses (purposely) here is that X is the one "creating the material"
The images are being generated by xAI's Grok.
The reason that such actions aren't considered for Meta and OpenAI is that they take action to prevent these uses.
