Whether it's Bill Clinton using tax-payer money to pay for postage on letters sent to people who wrote to his cat or Donald Trump steering hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts to his son's companies, both presidents engaged in corruption on an unprecedented scale.

Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says, ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life.”

They hanged them in public Allahu Akbar….That was the sound filling Isfahan's sky this morning when the Islamic Republic hanged three young protesters in public. Abolfazl Sepahi. Amirhossein Safari. Three of ours. Gone.💔
Many Iranians on social media are writing: we are afraid the call to prayer tomorrow morning will be the cover for more executions of protesters. Abolfazl Sepahi, Alireza Sepahi, and Amirhossein Safari have been transferred to solitary confinement. We are fed up with this regime that kills in public, in squares, in daylight, to make sure you never forget who is in charge. I grew up hearing "Allahu Akbar" from these same loudspeakers. Now I hear it as a warning. This is what "Allahu Akbar" means under the Islamic Republic: killing, hanging….

Erfan Soltani, the arrested Iranian protester whose execution was postponed after Trump intervened, has been executed by the Islamic regime, yesterday. Iranian opposition claimed 24 other protesters also executed with Erfan Soltani.

To everybody who made it possible for this teenager to be hanged in Iran today—who denied the atrocities, who dismissed every crime as Zionist propaganda, who stayed silent during every massacre and spoke up only to oppose attacks on the regime— fuck you.

I think women should decide what to do with Mitch McConnell's body since he decided what to do with theirs.

“Sam was shot in the back, just below his kidneys, & brought to a hospital alive for surgery. He had a breathing tube in his mouth when, the family believes, IRGC agents visited the hospital & administered Sam a ‘finishing shot’ to the back of the head.” tinyurl.com/bde2ftnd

As an Iranian who’s living under the Islamic regime’s boot, I’m telling you: Marco Rubio just nailed it. The Islamic Republic would rather pour millions into Hamas rapists and Hezbollah murderers than build roads, bridges, or feed their own citizens. That’s why Iranians are always in the streets. Our economy is deliberately destroyed so the regime can fund global terror. But make no mistake. We are ALL on the same ship — Iranians, Americans, Jews, and every free soul alive. Right now, we’re trapped in the bottom deck. If the IRGC floods this ship, we drown first… but your turn is coming soon after. Look at the real hand of evil: the Islamic Republic, Mullahs and its IRGC. They are the world’s #1 sponsor of terrorism, assassinations, mass Muslim migration as a weapon, economic sabotage, rape, and chaos everywhere. They assassinate dissidents, target civilians, and destabilize nations — and still the diplomats talk “peaceful solutions.” There is no nation on Earth that sponsors more terrorism than Iran. We Iranians know this evil better than anyone. We’ve buried 40,000+ of our brothers and sisters. The IRGC isn’t a “boogeyman” — it is the architect of most of the world’s pain. @SecRubio can understand better than most, because as a Cuban, his people also suffer a similar fate under an evil regime. Wake up. This isn’t just our fight. If the bottom deck floods, the whole ship sinks. My people's internet is cut due to the #DigitalBlackOutIran‌. But I will always try to be the missing voice, thanks to Starlink. Free Iran. Crush the IRGC. #KingRezaPahlavi‌ForIran #IranMassacre‌

This is the famous Rasht market in northern Iran 🇮🇷 In January, the regime burned it down with 400 people trapped inside. They were incinerated along with the market. Just because they protested This evil barbaric regime needs to go Period!

SECRETARY RUBIO: The people of Iran are daily victims of the regime and the President has deep sympathy for what they're going through. This is a country that shouldn’t be isolated, as the people are phenomenal.

Speaker of Islamic Republic’s parliament posts photo from flight to U.S. talks displaying pictures of the children killed in the Minab strike. Noticeably absent are the photos of the tens of thousands of Iranians slaughtered by the regime in the January massacre.

As soon as this video came across my feed I got very emotional and I know many Iranians who will feel the same. This is the theme song from Zir-e Gonbad-e Kabood — a children’s TV series most Iranians simply remember as Agha Hekayati, after its gentle storyteller, played by Bahram Shahmohammadlou. Think of it as the Iranian Mr. Roger’s. (IG: farsi school)

What a story! A janitor at a Yale University teaching hospital earned a college degree while working full time, then went to med school and is now returning to the same hospital as a resident in anesthesiology! washingtonpost.com/lifestyle… Mentors matter so much!

🔻 There was a time when Iran shared a deep friendship with the US and the world. The Shah’s 1962 visit to New York City is a perfect example of that respect. 🇮🇷🇺🇸
