The Iranian Regime Is Going To Execute Rapper Toomaj Salehi For Supporting Protests Of Jina Amini’s

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

God... I don’t even know if this is a spoiler because it’s like... the first two or three episodes

But Spoiler warning TUC Season 1, I guess

Listen, maybe my own experiences as a trans guy living in a conservative small town- whose big thing is that I wanna move back to the city so I can start over away from everything and just disappear- jumping out right now...

But Pete’s character so far, and the little bit of backstory we’ve gotten- but held up against him being the Vox Phantasma— the literal voice and keeper of all the dreams and aspirations of everyone who’s ever came there is something that can just be so beautiful and personal...

Casual reminder that the Palestine Children's Relief Fund has a 97% on Charity Navigator and you should donate to it if u can. Despite the limited external aid that's been allowed into Gaza, they've been able to distribute a lot of aid internally. And they are providing needed aid to Lebanon.
