Monsters in Tehran: 23-year-old Iranian protestor Majidreza Rahnavard's dying wishes--before being hanged--reflect the living wishes of so many young Iranians living under theocratic tyranny.
"Don't cry, don't read the Koran, don't pray"
"Be joyful. Play happy music"
RIP brave young dude

Airstrikes at multiple locations in Iran. Aircraft and drone strikes reported all across Iran. No idea what’s actually going on.

CNN is reporting Iran saying small drones caused minor damage at a military facility. No casualties. Couldn’t find anything on BBC or Al Jazeera
the daily this week was reporting that the iranian goon squad shoots protestors in the face and then shows up at the hospital to make arrests when they seek medical care. lots of 20somethings missing eyes. some government.
Sort of incredible that this isn’t even remotely top news on my usual feeds.
I wonder if it's intentionally being kept on the DL?Quote:

Those ass backwards Middle Ages wannabees caused today's war. Fuck them and their ignorant piece of shit selves.
A murderous regime versus its citizens. Reaction to the Israel terror attack from Iranian soccer fans:
Islamic Republic supporters tried to support Hamas by bringing Palestinian flags to a soccer match.
Iranian fans across the stadium chanted: “Take that Palestinian flag and shove it up your ass!”

Mohammad, brother of Neda Agha Soltan the symbol of Iran’s 2009 Green Movement and a national hero; writes:
“The stadium isn’t like Twitter at all… No one is afraid to speak their mind. They say what needs to be put where. They always point you in the right direction.”
Wait, didn’t the US give Iran 6 billion dollars last month?

I wonder if Iran bought any paragliders with that money.
One of my closest friends in law school was an Iranian woman Lida Rafizadeh whose parents were top generals of the Shah and agents of SAVAK. She was not only smoking hot, but she is the salt of the Earth. When the Shah was exiled, so her family. They were hunted down and forced to move around; first to Canada and then to the USA. Her mother, Pahlavi, was gunned down in her driveway in Franklin Township home and my Lida, a first year lawyer, was forced to flee the US. I had dinner at her house a couple of days before the murder. They were some of the nicest people I've ever met. After eating a typical Persian meal, we would sit back on pillows on the floor and enjoy a hookah. I miss her a lot.
They’ve already got a bomb. If we think the last 20 yrs in the middle East was ugly, the next 20 will be a total disaster as the Saudi etc demand one too. I bet Israel strikes Iran soon. The air space will clear itself.
Just to add some clarity here.Quote:

Anyone who spouts that line about how "the money hasn't been spent yet" is a fucking moron.
Care to elaborate?Quote:

That doesn't really help AR's hate-fueled narrative. Maybe edit your post. kthxbye
Seems silly to put $6b that you don’t have yet at risk with a political mistake. Ultimately it is their money.
Maybe just give it to Ukraine. That would really chap the right wingers.
Yup, right it off for all the drones they sent Ukraine.Quote:

There are no do overs in life.
