"Five women political prisoners released from Iranian prisons have said their liberation was a result of the ongoing uprising of the “freedom-loving and brave" Iranians against government “oppression.”
In a statement titled “Day of Freedom is Near”
they expressed hope that “with the continued support of the public and the persistent efforts of the international community, we will soon witness the release of all male and female political prisoners."

News is filtering in that in Iran today, February 16th, the protests, which have never really stopped in the last 154 days, are starting up again, in a big way. Videos are showing big crowds all across the country, all kicking off.

We told you this would happen.
They're going after Obergefell, gay marriage, and gay parents in Oklahoma.
You didn't think this would stop at trans people, did you?

Looks like quite few English political cartoonists:
Hate women
Hate strong politicians
Hate the Scottish
Hate strong Scottish women politicians

During the current book-banning frenzy, #Republicans revealed exactly what they mean when they say "woke."
Among the thousands of books banned was a Pulitzer-winning book famous for criticizing the #Holocaust. This book was banned in the name of "fighting wokeness."
So to Republicans, "woke" means "not a #Nazi" and just like that you know why it makes them so angry.

UK Politics
British Political Cartoonists adding a bit of transphobia into the misogynistic mix over the news of #NicolaSturgeon's resignation.
Brits are bullies, they bully #Scotland into this unequal union then pour scorn on their people and culture like an abusive partner.
It's as simple as that, this Union is a toxic and abusive relationship with a Bully.
They try to pass it off as "Humour" but it's not funny and it's just abusive.
They are Abusers for the British Establishment

White supremacist who killed 10 people at a supermarket in tears when he learns he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Everyone wants to know which politician said the N-word or wore Blackface. No one wants to know who shut down mental health facilities (Reagan), or started the war on drugs (Nixon), or made college tuition unaffordable for Black folk (Nixon), or broke the tax code (Reagan).
This hurts white folk too. Today a white woman that's $80K in student loan debt and has no health insurance is standing on a subway platform, scared that a white homeless man with untreated mental illness might attack her. 🤷🏿♂️

This is why there aren't any "good cops".
The sheriff who blew the whistle on the abuse that led to Tony Mitchell's death has lost her job. The reason given was ‘Unsatisfactory service’ despite being previously named officer of the month.
Tony was taken to jail after a mental health crisis, given no treatment for that, just sent to solitary confinement naked where he died of hypothermia after having been beaten up as well #ACAB #DefundThePolice

"Please call me Muhammed, since I've changed religion."
"Please call me Francis, since I've became Pope."
"Please call me Jane Brown, since I married Bob Brown."
"Please call me Rock Hudson, on advice of my agent."
"Please call me Chris, since I never could stand my first name."
"Please call me Angela, because I'm actually a woman."
Never have been able to figure out why only the last of those is too hard for some people to do. #TransRights
