📷 In 1945, a regionalist uprising in Iran's province of Azarbaijan led to Iranian women being granted the right to vote for the first time in history, as you see in the photo.

On December 12th 1946, 78 years ago today, Iranian imperial armies, supported by clerics, brutally crushed this uprising.

How come the US Congress has still not impeached Joe Biden for the Hunter pardon? That's worse than anything Trump ever did, yet Trump was unjustly impeached twice!

Wondering how obscure Orthodox-nationalist Călin Georgescu won the first round of #Romania's elections? The answer: millions of views on #Tiktok and podcasts, while his opponents wasted their time with the legacy media!

Victor #Orban is fooling the world. The corrupt Fidesz regime that governs #Hungary gives out work visas to foreigners like candies on Halloween, to replace young Hungarians who emigrate due to the lack of future options in stagnating Hungary.

Orban's Fidesz regime = Mass #Immigration

Israel can and should appeal the issuance of these warrants, and their shaky legal rationale, to the Appeals Chamber of the ICC (which exists exactly for this purpose). But in the meantime Western nations must uphold the authority of the #ICC. Rule-of-Law in action.
There are good reasons to disagree with the #ICC's rationale. But law-abiding democracies have to respect court's decisions: That means implementing these warrants. I say that without glee, as a broadly pro- #Israel conservative. The rule of law is sacred, not a matter of opinion.

Joe #Biden will be remembered as the weakest president in American history. He failed to prevent the invasion of Ukraine. He failed to defend Ukraine properly. He failed in Afganistan. He failed in Sudan. He failed in the Middle East. No one has ever failed more. That's why #Trump won.

I joined Bluesky because social media pluralism is vital. No more eco-chambers for the radical left or the radical right.
Trump's wonderful win earlier this month should usher in an era of free speech speech and put an end to the push for woke censorship that we saw in the last few decades.
