Reminder that schoolgirls in Iran are still being subjected to chemical attacks. Any ostensible slowing down had to do with the Nowruz holiday, but now that school has resumed, girls are in just as much danger as they were before.

Ashkan Mahmoodi Nejad has recorded a video of himself explaining how the “police” forcefully pulled his wife, Somayeh Mahmoodi Nejad, out of a taxi, fired six bullets at her and killed her in front of their 8 y.o child.

Somayeh was an innocent woman and was killed in cold blood in front of her little child.

This crime was committed a month ago.

Tell her story.

"Stop sucking our generation’s blood"

Graffiti in Kharazmi University, Tehran denouncing the murderous repression of the recent protests.

Now these are beautiful colored hairs that have come out from under the black scarves after forty years and have colored the atmosphere of the city, a city that was saddened by Khamenei's government, but he did not imagine that one day these beautiful hairs will sprout again from under the scarves and freedom return to the city..

It's a forest. Just say it.

This is the exact section of South River Forest property that's becoming the "cop city" training facility for the City of Atlanta.

I'm no expert on what constitutes a forest. But from Google Earth, this sure resembles one.

And yet the City of Atlanta put out some "facts" about the police training center being built here, and they're trying to convince us this is no big loss because it's not really a forest:

Weird. They know we have access to the internet, right?

Whatever this greenery is (and I still say it's a forest) it's going away for the training center. We're losing a huge stretch of trees -- which was supposed to all be a public green space, per the Atlanta City Design -- while massive highways stay the same & even get bigger. It's screwed up.

Remember this:

Nobody regrets the forests we saved. Just the ones we lost.

Women post TikToks protesting the death of Mahsa Amini in Iranian police custody after she was detained on suspicion of breaking hijab-weari

"Women in Iran are taking off their headscarves and cutting their hair to protest the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

Amini died in a Tehran hospital on Friday after being arrested by Iran's Islamic morality police on Tuesday on suspicion of not correctly wearing a hijab — a head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women and is mandatory in Iran — according to reports. 

Tehran police said Amini was arrested for the purpose of "justification and education" about the hijab, and told her family she died of a "sudden" heart attack. Her family say she had no known heart conditions, and witnesses said they saw police beating her up inside a van, according to BBC News.

On September 18, the day of Amini's funeral, protests erupted in Iran, with women removing their headscarves and waving them in the air to protest the hijab-wearing rules that led to the arrest of the 22-year-old."
