Not sure if they're an Iran protests thread....In any case, it is a pretty big deal. Hopefully the first of of many wins for women's rights in Iran. That will further embolden the movement. The struggle continues. Iran abolishes morality police after two months of protests https://t.co/X7hQN4Zbx0— Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) December 4, 2022
wonderful news. the Mail is shit source, but it's on the bbc too ... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-63850656 Iran's morality police, which is tasked with enforcing the country's Islamic dress code, is being disbanded, the country's attorney general says. Mohammad Jafar Montazeri's comments, yet to be confirmed by other agencies, were made at an event on Sunday. Iran has seen months of protests over the death of a young woman in custody. Mahsa Amini had been detained by the morality police for allegedly breaking strict rules on head coverings. Mr Montazeri was at a religious conference when he was asked if the morality police was being disbanded. "The morality police had nothing to do with the judiciary and have been shut down from where they were set up," he said.
Yeah.....Having said that, I think & hope the Iranian will take this with a grain of salt though and keep up the pressure.
Was it this? With the former President calling to throw aside the constitution, not a single conservative can legitimately support him, and not a single supporter can be called a conservative. This is insane. Trump hates the constitution Right @GOPLeader @EliseStefanik @Jim_Jordan ? pic.twitter.com/C0bjM6exGv— Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱 (@AdamKinzinger) December 4, 2022
Yeah, that was it. I dunno, I can't get that excited about it - it's like hearing that A-Ha is going to be touring the county fairs once again next summer, playing "Take On Me" over and over again. There's always going to be demand for their one hit.
Ye is not to be out-staged: On Instagram he posting a conspiracy theory about Musk having been genetically bred. He also mention Obama in his post, which in his Alex Jones interview he referred to as being Jewish and part of antisemitic conspiracy theories. pic.twitter.com/WAYgLOMJtA— maargentino.bsky.social (@_MAArgentino) December 5, 2022

I don't like Herschel Walker but I do feel some kind of way about watching a broken black man get used up by white men in college, by white men in the NFL, and then by white men in the GOP and not be there to pick up the pieces once they're done with him.

Ye went too far for misogynistic racist xenophobic weirdos: "We don't support hate" says the man selling wrapping paper that's code for "fuck joe biden" 🙄— Meerkats R Doing the Ballet (@MeerkatsRMammal) December 3, 2022
Someon should point out to these morons that the phrase "******** joe biden" was first recorded at a literal antifa rally in Portland, Oregon on inauguration day, 2012. https://www.trtworld.com/americas/r...ise-democratic-party-office-in-portland-43457 There are about 150 protesters in Portland marching right now toward an ICE facility, chanting "Fuck Joe Biden." pic.twitter.com/mn9Qoi63C1— Mike Baker (@ByMikeBaker) January 21, 2021
In his defense, Antifa is brave enough to chant FJB. MAGAts have to say "Let's go Brandon", as in the wrapping paper Seth is selling.
Nope. What happened was there was a NASCAR race where the fans were chanting FJB. The winner of the race was named Brandon. The announcer retconned FJB into LGB, and a meme was born. To me, LGB is like Dark Brandon. It's for fun. Let 'em have their fun.
But mah free speech! Free speech absolutists whipping out the “speech as terrorism” card early on this one. pic.twitter.com/HXRlZTI21L— Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) December 5, 2022
Look you're running a ponzi scheme which also serves as a way for criminals to launder money. And that money disappears. And people start dying. That is the opposite of "weird." That is: "the only way this would end." https://t.co/JcSsNYt9T9— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) December 3, 2022 I don’t think crypto guys *should* be murdered by the international criminals and rogue states who they laundered money for, but i also don’t think they were under the impression it was the United Way’s finances they were facilitating.— William B.

Carrying on in the great tradition of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, and Chris Rock, I present thee comic stylings of Samuel Alito Alito asks a hypothetical about a Black Santa at the mall who doesn't want to have his picture taken with a child dressed up in a KKK outfit. It culminates with Alito quipping: "You do see a lot of Black children in Ku Klux Klan outfits, right? All the time." pic.twitter.com/nmQCSjcUHF— Mark Joseph Stern (@mjs_DC) December 5, 2022
Yeah, that pissed me off, I'm a big fan of Brandon Brown as a local Va boy, and now I can't wear any of his merch, especially one commemorating his first win because those yahoos tarnished it with their stupid chanting (I'd like to think they were banned from the facility, but I probably know better). The announcer/pit reporter just tried to calm down/ignore the chants and let Brandon enjoy his win, and suddenly she was elevated to a journalist reporting fake news by those same douche-bags and a hateful meme was born.

You know, I overlooked a lot of red flags for the woman I was dating... But when the bottles of "Trump Wine" started getting uncorked at Thanksgiving...
