Rebellion in Iran

646 killed (according to the activists).

Like others have said, I hope some good comes from this.

Over 2500 now killed.

I can’t speak on the credibility of the source but Iran International News is reporting 12,000

I believe it. Awful.

A few days ago, Trump said if any protesters were killed, he’d act. I’m not advocating us acting militarily, but don’t think we even have that option, since our resources are tied up bombing speedboats and seizing oil tankers.

Another option mentioned was enabling Starlink, so the protestors would have internet access. Not sure why that hasn’t already been done. I wonder if the the DOGE cuts are a factor.

Or, the fact that Eloon is a fucking piece of human excrement.

One day trials with executions on the same day. Families are horrified and don’t have time to mount a defense.

Not sure there’s a legal option

Hard to get the satelllite receivers in there.

They are not

Like that stops them from anything?

I was too lazy to put the word legal in italics or air quotes

I’m pretty sure most of us inserted our own air quotes.
