Stand With Muslim Women For Their Fight Against Religious Fundamentalism, Not Against Them

Here’s the Roxie and Velma poll for Tim as well

It's a forest. Just say it.

This is the exact section of South River Forest property that's becoming the "cop city" training facility for the City of Atlanta.

I'm no expert on what constitutes a forest. But from Google Earth, this sure resembles one.

And yet the City of Atlanta put out some "facts" about the police training center being built here, and they're trying to convince us this is no big loss because it's not really a forest:

Weird. They know we have access to the internet, right?

Whatever this greenery is (and I still say it's a forest) it's going away for the training center. We're losing a huge stretch of trees -- which was supposed to all be a public green space, per the Atlanta City Design -- while massive highways stay the same & even get bigger. It's screwed up.

Remember this:

Nobody regrets the forests we saved. Just the ones we lost.

SAY HIS NAME - BURHAN ELIASI

On the chehelom of a number of protestors in Javanroud (40th day since their passing), the Islamic Republic forces opened fire on the people, and Burhan Eliasi was killed as a result of the direct fire of these forces. According to the report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Saturday, December 31, 2022, Burhan Eliasi, a 22-year-old shopkeeper, was taken to the hospital after being hit by a bullet from the Islamic Republic forces. Hengaw has been informed that, in addition to the death of Burhan Eliasi, eight other people were seriously injured during the shooting by the Islamic Republic forces toward the people who were mourning the passing of our fallen heroes.  According to the information obtained by Hengaw, 1 child was among the injured, and the condition of 2 other persons is reported as critical.

In the course of today’s events, in addition to blocking the road leading to the cemetery, the Islamic Republic forces shot at the citizens inside and outside the city, and according to the videos published by Hengaw, they shot tear gas at the people as well.

hey. how's things in iran?

hi friend thanks for asking I appreciate your worry and care.

unfortunately but not surprisingly enough, things have gotten worse.

yes, the mortality police is gone but the governors keep on coming up with new ways to harass women and girls who won't stand their oppression and don't want to wear hijab.

they keep up dropping cases against female actresses who don't wear hijab, they harass student in universities, telling radical religious people to tell people to "abide the law".

Khamenei who's the 'leader' of the Islamic Republic said avoiding hijab is both religiously haram and 'political' haram. wtf is he even saying anymore? idk either but his minions aka Basijis keep on listening to him and THEY are the ones who harass women on streets, universities and etc.

poverty is getting worse as well. inflation is sky high some people can't even eat 3 meals a day and settle for one meal a day, IF they can afford the food which in some families, the can't.

yet the brave people of my country will still fight against those shitty waste of space government. speaking up against them in social media or in real life might cost them their lives even if they live outside of the country but we're fed up. we keep on disobeying your stupid rules, you keep on locking up every place women appear without hijab, lock up and imprison every person who says YOU'RE IN THE WRONG but until when? we should and we WILL win this fight. we've had enough.

can anybody hear me

The fact that some “leftists” on this website have the audacity to give themselves permission to tell me that Iranians should stay quiet and bear their pain in silence tells me that you fuckers only look at non-white people as a tool in your narrative. You don’t give a fuck about the people anymore than right-wing imperialists do.
