#NiloufarAghaie, is an OB/GYN doctor who lost her eye due to being shot at in Tehran by the Islamic Republic of Terrorism.
She is seen in this video on her 32nd birthday saying, "From the bottom of my heart, when I blew out the birthday candles, I wished that no parent or child would be unjustly murdered. Don't be deprived of each other's blessings."
She reminds me of Janine, from the #handmaidstale, who lost her eye for protesting against #Gilead officials. The Islamic Republic is #Gilead.

#HassanFirouzi is 34 year old father of a newborn daughter who was only 18 days old at the time of his arrest. He is enduring severe torture in prison and sentenced to die.
In a video he begs, covered in bruises, “Help me, I need to see my daughter one more time.”
Please pass on his heartbreaking story to others. Make his name, his struggle be known. He innocent. He is prosecuted by an evil government.

An Iranian court has sentenced former lawmaker and women’s rights advocate Faezeh Hashemi to five years in prison, her lawyer says, amid a brutal crackdown on nearly four months of nationwide anti-government protests. Faezeh is the daughter of former Iranian president Rafsanjari. #iran #iranprotests #MahsaAmini #stopexecutionsiniran https://iranwire.com/en/politics/112453-activist-daughter-of-former-iranian-president-handed-prison-term/ https://persia.social/@kambiz/109666344394222131
It’s been 106 days since the death of #MahsAmini and the protests in #Iran are still happening despite the heavy crack down. What is your opinion on the outcome?
It is a revolution and they will topple the regime eventually.
These protests won’t topple the regime.
Too soon to have an opinion. https://mstdn.ca/@Maryam/109666688205216060
One more video of the great #kotlet himself, Soleimani, being lit up again. #iran #iranprotests #iranrevolution #stopexecutionsiniran #MahsaAmini #WomanLifeFreedom
In Kerman, more brave revolutionary youth set ablaze to the banner of #kotlet Qassem Soleimani in front of a Basiji base. #iran #iranprotests #iranrevolution #stopexecutionsiniran #MahsaAmini #WomanLifeFreedom
Today, it snowed in Isfahan. And a group of brave, creative people made a snow sculpture of Mahsa Amini in remembrance. What do you think of this? #iran #iranprotests #iranrevolution #stopexecutionsiniran #MahsaAmini #WomanLifeFreedom
Trump financial officer Allen Weisselberg sentenced to five months in jail - The Washington Post
A very light sentence. He must have talked like crazy.

We can't go on like this. The govt is deliberately underfunding the NHS and social care for ideological reasons. It is wicked.

Don’t get me wrong: I love schadenfreude as much as the next person. But the public humiliation of McCarthy wasn’t just a display of GOP dysfunction, but our resignation to having a circus instead of a government. We deserve better. https://www.damemagazine.com/2023/01/10/mccarthy-speaker-vote/

they didn't start trying to destroy public schools until the public schools were integrated
they didn't start slashing funding to state colleges until the state colleges were integrated
they didn't start yelling about "gov't overreach" until the gov't told them they had to serve Black ppl
Trump didn't "make" the GOP racist
they were racist already
It says the video isn't available but it's there if you tap on it.
A really excellent video about one of the largest news agencies in Ukraine and how they cope with the power outages. Notice the coats.

Kevin McCarthy added a secret three-page addendum to the rules package containing the most controversial concessions in order to secure the votes of the most dangerous members of Congress.
The American people deserve to know what's in it.

BREAKING: Dan Goldman and I are filing a formal complaint with the House Ethics Committee against George Santos for violating the Ethics in Government Act.
George Santos must be held accountable for defrauding both Congress and the public.
Good afternoon everyone. I won't be online much today. I need to go shopping for water. Our water is full of lime. Very hard water. So every few months I fill my 20 jugs at a machine in town. It's for coffee. My coffee machine thanks me. It costs 40 cents a gallon and worth every penny.
I will most likely do some other shopping too.

Christopher Parry (28) and Andrew Bagshaw (48) are missing in Soledar. They are volunteers from the UK and New Zealand who evacuate civilians from the front lines. They went missing during an evacuation on Jan. 6. I spoke to them three days earlier in Bakhmut.
