really fun duo you have there. mind if i add arbitrary roles to their relationship dynamic so i can write one of them as an overprotective caretaker and the other as a naive helpless baby?
The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.
Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

LESS THAN THREE HOURS AGO: zionists were taunting a comrade at ucla's gaza solidarity encampment with a severe (possibly anaphylactic? with the context clues of "can go into shock" im leaning towards assuming it's anaphylactic) banana allergy by bringing bananas near the camp. i am genuinely of the belief that taunting someone with anaphylaxis like this should be considered attempted murder. this is fucking evil.
sorry if this poll isnt comprehensive my wife is the biology buff not me. anyways. remaking my last ebegging post since our needs have changed but we are still in need of help.
i am on my period, which has drastically increased both my appetite (in spite of the lack of food or money i have) as well as my pain, fatigue and other more concerning chronic illness symptoms. having to continually beg piecemeal for a few bucks here or there to maybe get enough for one meal that we can sometimes stretch with leftovers is tedious and humiliating, especially bc of my OCD, ARFID and other dietary sensitivities making eating extremely expensive and difficult. its still going to be over a week until i get foodstamps, not that its even remotely close to enough to feed me, much less me and my wife, for a whole month. im hesitant to set a goal but any amount helps. if i can get close to $100 by tuesday i can get a few things to try and last us a bit longer until the stamps refill. folks can chip in via this, this, or this, and i also have this as well. anything helps.
in light of police across the country cracking down on pro palestine protests with brutal force, it feels like a great time to remind everyone to shut the fuck up around cops. don't make small talk, dont act friendly, don't fucking engage with them!! if you are arrested DO NOT speak without a lawyer present. protest organizers, get into contact with local pro bono lawyers who can be there for your arrested comrades. no matter what, if cops are there, shut the fuck up unless you are actively doing a protest chant. dont tell cops why you were there, dont tell them if you're affiliated with the school you may be protesting at, dont tell them if you came there with anyone, dont tell them anything!!!
Liberal voice: "Omg drop the act. I know no one actually holds any strong political beliefs or morals. Who even actually cares about ending the falsified border "crisis" or stopping covid? Don't you just want to buy Chic-fil-a and Israeli produce instead of helping people?"
