They cut off our internet access to try and stop us from gathering and protesting and to silence us, it is currently 1 am when i am writing this when the internet conection is stable and to those outside of Iran, i beg of you to be our voice when ours isn't being heard. Children are being shot here by the police in the protests people are dying here whose names we will never know things can not go on like this any longer and we need the rest of the world to hear our cries.
Russia and Iran are both terrorist states whose economies are propped up by fossil fuels.
If you'd like to see dictatorships and theocracies collapse, use less fossil fuel. Of course doing so is also helpful to the planet. 🌍
If I were an entrepreneur, I'd print up and sell stickers featuring pictures of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Iranian theocrat Ali Khamenei which people could place next to their thermostats and on their vehicle dashboards to remind them who is being empowered by oil and gas usage.
There is no downside to using less fossil fuel. Sustainable energy has a pro-democracy valence.
IMPORTANT, RE:IRAN UPDATE!! THEYRE STARTING TO CUT THE NET OUT IN SOME PLACES
Please, PLEASE dont think this has just ended if you all start to see less and less posts from us. they are trying to silence us.
there are protests happening all over the country and theyre getting violent. CW// disturbing subjects(child death), police brutality
i cant believe im saying this but, they even shot a ten yearold in the fucking head. these people have lost their humanity in my eyes.// CW END
thank you all for spreading the word. dont let it die out. i cant thank you all enough.
the best place to follow this is on twt (under the hashtags: #mahsa_amini, #mahsaamini, #مهسا_امینی etc etc) and trusted news sources like bbc/bbs farsi, iran international, manoto news etc. use the hashtags. let the world know. and again if anyone wants to reach out for translations or just get info abt this i'll always try to make time. stay safe everyone.
I want to use this image to make one thing clear. MANY Iranians (both inside and outside the country) DO NOT support Isreal. MANY Iranians stand and support Palestine, being very vocal about this support. Many Iranians in Iran are donating money, supplies, and food to Palestine and even offering to adopt orphaned children. Many Iranains are standing PROUDLY with Palestine. BUT those Iranians who stand and support Palestine ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for the actions other Iranians take. They are not responsible for what some celebrities or "the royal family" does. Iranians do not deserve not be insulted because some people from our heritage are making bad decisions (standing with isreal). Iranians do not deserve to be called "fake muslims" "traitors" "whores" "sluts" and ANY other insult because some of our people are doing bad things. And I can say this with utmost confidence that the number of Iranians who support Palestine out wight the number of those who don't. "But Genie, why don't we see Iranians being vocal about their support for Palestine?" Well, because most social media platforms are banned in Iran. Even with vpns, many iranains don't have access to insta,tumblr,tiktok,youtube,etc. Especially now that Iran's censorship has started fortify again.
