Tonight, Islamic regime agents confiscated the passports of Mahsa Jina Amini’s father, mother, and brother at the airport, preventing their travel to France. This act of fear by the regime underscores their dread of the international recognition of Iran’s #WomanLifeFreedom movement. The West must stand in solidarity with the people’s fight against this totalitarian regime.
#Boston 😡
This city. I took a train ride today. Staff made sure the first person gave ‘em some money (looked to be a Latina parent), then skipped over me and another white person, and asked the Black woman behind us to pay up.
Not sure I have more to say right now, but this story needs telling.
Given the whiteness of Downtown and nearly every group with capital here, I’m sure this kind of stuff happens daily. May our shame lead to meaningful positive change.

Texas kids terrorized by man parading in front of schools with a long rifle. (which is legal in Texas... open carry.. so no one can do anything about it until he chooses to use that weapon on someone.) #guns #texas https://www.kxan.com/news/local/man-walks-with-long-rifle-in-front-of-austin-schools-terrorized-students-and-parents/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=t.co
I don't care if this movie lampoons #Trump, makes him look like a hero, or is the most accurate biopic ever created.
I have absolutely ZERO interest in seeing this film.

As with every #STFUfriday post, I'm a lawyer in the USA. These comments are based on law in the USA. Unlike most of these posts, the rights involved here apply differently to immigrants and citizens.
Everything I’m about to write is found on the ACLU’s excellent “know your rights” page on this topic. Link below.
Again I ask: if the #Palestinian cause is so righteous, why do their advocates have to lie so much?
Video of USC Professor Strauss was “manipulated online to remove the reference to #Hamas and instead suggested that he hoped all Palestinians would be killed”.
@GottaLaff Paxton is such a fucking dickhead
@AlliFlowers And somehow he finds the time to do all that raping and murdering too. Just incredible!
