I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

I had to remind Trump that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents.

It’s infuriating how many people claim to care about fictitious β€œchild trafficking” conspiracies about trans people and Wayfair and Democrats but will miss, ignore, and distract from actual government agents kidnapping children in front of their very eyes

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

Aboriginal Land Title is a form of property rights.

Nobody is losing their homes, the title rights would transfer from the Crown to an Indigenous band.

She's just a weird racist who thinks the King of England has more rights to land than the people his ancestors colonized

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken.  How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Will definitely email you with a few videos from the March for Australia, but this one takes the cake. How wild that oldies wearing Australia flags are in denial about marching next to far-right cookers when IT'S THIS OBVIOUS, old mate here has the least subtle S i've ever seen

Why are comedians doing a better job of cutting through the bullshit of politicians in their desperate attempt to justify a genocide than any journalists?

Ultimately, Freeman’s column isn’t pitiful because it rubs salt in the woundβ€”it’s pitiful because it lays bare the true aim of the anti-trans movement. This was never about policy or bathrooms or youth sports. It’s about a cohort of people who feel culture shifting beneath their feet, who were raised in a world where casual cruelty toward transgender people was normalized, and who now find themselves resentful that society has moved on. Rather than reflect or grow, they double down, demanding that their revulsion be seen as virtueβ€”that their discomfort be not only accepted but celebrated. Freeman’s yearning for social validation, cloaked in the language of righteous indignation, reveals the movement’s hollow core. The title of her piece says it all: this isn’t about the law, it’s about the isolation that comes from being wrong. And no court decisionβ€”no matter how cruelβ€”will win back the friendships lost to hate, or rescue those who chose the wrong side of history from the consequences of that choice.

From my latest piece.

The true motivating energy behind the anti-trans activists of today.

one time, a friend got annoyed with me when i responded lukewarmly to their insta post about giving up their career bc God told them to. Stories like this only add to my wariness of people making big life decisions and then conveniently placing the blame or consequences on God (or any institution)
