We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Based on all comments, we don’t think we need a poll; hope everyone agrees in the name of camaraderie.

The third NAFO turret will be named IAMUNDERTOW—to honor our supporter, may he rest in peace.

This one’s for you, friend. Sleep well—your legacy will help innocents sleep more soundly.

I am really fucking sick of these types of articles.

"Akshually, inside Russia, knitting pink labubu scarfs is the real resistance"

After 4 years of Russian non-resistance, and watching the Iranians rise up twice, shit like this is almost insulting.

You don't need to speak French to understand. Technology is good, when technology means more comfort for human beings. But that's not what's happening.

Following last night’s regime violence, the crowds on Iran’s streets are said to be even larger tonight.

Push hard and people push back.

With what's happening in the US, as the government today asserts the right to kill any American opposing the regime, I've been understandably inundated with questions from Americans about how to flee the country.

This book is a good explainer of the how and why: www.amazon.com/American-Dia...

3 cities in Iran are apparently no longer under control of the regime. Protestors drove the IRGC out of these cities and have taken over control: Abdanan, Malekshahi, and Karaj.

We don't want them
The speaker of the Iranian parliament Mohammad Ghalibaf and his family have apparently left the country and are fleeing to France.

Björk is often right, but for once this is a bad idea. Greenlanders are not numerous enough to resist an 🇺🇸 invasion. Independence should take place, but be part of a process of military cooperation (what 🇪🇺 is currently creating to replace NATO). Path is to rejoin the EU first and then independence.

one of the key comic strips of the twentieth century not showing up in english until the third decade of the twenty-first century doesn't say a lot of good things about the english-language comics market.
Adding this to the reading stack. I've been hearing of this Argentine comic for years but we only recently got an English language collection here in the US.

The Quran says that a virgin can not be executed. Because of this, when an unmarried woman is sentenced to death in Iran, the night before her execution a prison guard was ordered by a judge to rape her.

This is one of the most repulsive and vile regimes in history. Watch it burn.

No. Nobody knows what happens after that horrible regime falls. And that is a beautiful thing. Just consider this will be the first time in decades that Iranians decide what their country should be.
You have a good estimate on what happens if khomeni flees Iran?

In Scandinavia and Germany, nudity on the beach is as casual as ordering a coffee: FKK – “free body culture” – enthusiasts have been enjoying their right to strip off and sunbathe since the early 20th century.
