Almost all the Iranians I know live in Iran, except for two who are in the diaspora in Paris. None of them are monarchists, none of them want the Shah back, they keep telling me that nobody in Iran wants the Shah back, and that bringing back the Shah is a pipe dream of the American-Iranian diaspora.

People should not forget that there is a reason why the Shah was overthrown. He was an out of touch tyrant. The Iranian islamists and Iranian socialists formed an alliance to overthrow him. Then the islamists betrayed their socialist allies and murdered all of them in 1981.

Opinion | A deranged Republican shot two lawmakers and their spouses over the weekend. But my colleague who I assume is a Democrat wrote the word "womxn" in a Slack thread. I have never felt more politically homeless.

might be worth thinking about how the behaviour of a cop does not distinguish them from an armed killer, only the uniform and badge provide any distinction, and now even that is gone

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

I hope a pigeon poops on her hat.

this is going around as people finger wag about optics and peaceful protests and i just want to note that the cop here - john pike - received retirement, 8mos of suspended leave pay, and $38k for the pain and suffering of macing kids the students received $6k-30k, most at the lower end

Hell yeah.

Liberals fear that if people act unruly, Trump will be able to impose totalitarian control. That gets things backwards. Trump is already imposing totalitarian control. That's what is driving people into the streets. It's too late to avoid this fight. We can be passive and lose—or give it our all.

Idk why but I feel like reposing this. Isn't science and chemistry cool?

We have an official pigeon pride flag

Putin rejects a U.S.-Europe ceasefire proposal and Trump responds not by sanctioning Russia but by punishing our European allies with a 50% tariff. Whose side is he on?

Americans already have a "Liberal Joe Rogan". He promotes Holodomor deniers, supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine, praises the Houthis, and really isn't that much of a Liberal in the end.

We didn't get any sirens in the city limits despite there being touchdowns all over. And I know they work because they tested them extensively two days before

The word “login” comes from throwing a log attached to a rope with knots overboard a ship to see how many knots go by over time (see also, knots as speed). You’d then put that info in the “log book.” You’d “log in” on a regular basis. This wasn’t from 1959, it was likely from 1689! Etymology baby!

You definitely don’t have to refuse to vote for Cuomo just because he’s a sexual predator, you can also refuse to vote for him because he killed thousands of people and then covered it up

it was not right that Hasan was stopped however his encounter seems to have ended when he asked if he was being detained. if this happens to you the script is simple am I being detained? If no: may I go If yes: invoke the 5th

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier

Your local police are on their side. No one's coming to save you.

Will this new Pope synchronize with the Eva unit in time

Anyone who has ever thought the local cops will ever interfere with ICE deportations on behalf of their own communities is a daydreaming fool. State power is not on your side, and the people who enforce it are traitors to their communities.
