Islamic regime of Iran 10 mins after apologizing to neighboring countries
What we experience online is often not a neutral reflection of public opinion.
Across country after country, research suggests something else where a relatively small number of actors can shape what becomes visible, what feels normal, and what institutions end up reacting to.
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
You know, one good thing here is that people online have finally stopped using "Kurds" as a synonym for the PKK.
Hasan Piker fans love the Houthis because Hasan told them to do so.
I hate them because I know what they are.
On this Women’s International day, just wanted to remind you about King Tamar of Georgia (not queen) back from 12th century. According to sources she was titled as “King of Kings”.
Tamar’s reign was one of the prosperous eras for Georgia.
Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from February 24, 2026, to March 8, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of February 28. The drop in connectivity aligns with nation-scale internet blackout imposed during joint military strikes by the US and Israel. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner.
⚠️ Update: It's Sunday morning in #Iran where the internet blackout continues into its second week, with the incident entering its ninth day at hour 192.
Though technical infrastructure remains operational, only a heavily controlled domestic intranet is available to residents.

In 1938, Kundan Lal Gupta, a businessman and philanthropist from Ludhiana, quietly rescued five Jewish families from Nazi Austria. He did it without fanfare, and few knew his story for decades.

Once I see you've added me to a moderation list that has a majority of Black and Jewish accounts, I already know you're anti-semitic and anti-black.
So, we don't even need to engage.
You hate the Jewish community.
You hate the Black community.
Want us to be the villains in this country's downfall

The left's war on Jews is expanding to target trans people too.
At #PISECON 2026, I spoke about the effects of long-term subversion. This is the the 4W Model to identify so-called “Agents of Influence", such as academics, former politicians, diplomats, military, or authors, who lobby and propagate for authoritarian regimes. At 1:35

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.
I have been wondering about the memes/messaging from ordinary people in the Gulf States. A lot of extremely similar language about being “grateful” to “our government who protects us” plus slamming “the west” for “spreading misinformation” etc. Just influenced or more proactively coordinated?
Enjoying every hour of the warm weather — and still can't believe we survived that winter. #russiaisaterroriststate
Rupa Murthy @rupamurthy1 October 7, 2023 marked a day that showed the world the depths of human evil. Israel was attacked. Women were sexually assaulted and murdered. Children and men were slaughtered. People were kidnapped and dragged into tunnels. The sheer barbarity of the attack shocked much of the world. But not everyone was horrified. A part of the world celebrated. Not because they misunderstood what happened, but because they hate Jews. Strip away the slogans, the hashtags, the theatrics and that is what remains: hatred of Jews. Among those cheering the brutality was the wife of New York’s current mayor, Zohran Mamdani, Rama Duwaji. She happily “liked” posts celebrating the massacre. And the mayor’s defense? “She is the love of my life. She is a very private person. She holds no public office.” Apparently applauding the slaughter of civilians is now considered a private activity. And in some political circles, loving someone who cheers terrorism is not a moral dilemma. It is simply called being progressive.
My culture is not your costume.

Graham Platner is a Nazi sympathizer.
Hopefully someone in Maine local news can run with this and avoid a huge embarrassment for the state's real Democrats, followed by four more years of Susan Collins's deep concern.
The campaign of the 5th column aka the antizionist hate movement spreads regime propaganda like "US/Israel killing 100s of children", the IRGC terrorists try to do just that in Israel and other countries and every "human rights advocate" just shrugs.
Pathetic.
