All Eyes On Iran.
Jan 12
Erfan Soltani is scheduled to be executed by hanging in Iran in 48 hours.
He was arrested in Karaj on January 9 for taking part in the protests. His family was given just 10 minutes to say goodbye. No lawyer. No fair trial. Days later, the Islamic regime sentenced him to death.
Reports now warn the regime is preparing public hangings to terrorize the population. More than 10,000 protesters have been arrested since the start of the 2026 uprising. Many could face the same fate.
The only thing this regime fears is global scrutiny.
Be their voice. Share their names. Expose these crimes. Silence is a death sentence.

Please repost everyone. This is Putin’s war. What it has done to Ukraine and what it is doing to basic notions of humanity. Yet there are some out there who support it and blame thé Ukrainians. Not just Farage. Lots of others too.

🇺🇦 A Ukrainian boy walking alone down a road, crying, trying to escape the war. Keep that image in your head the next time you blame Ukraine for what Russia started.
That is the backdrop. That is the context. And yes, it is against this backdrop we judge you as a human being.

Imagine you're driving normally on the highway when suddenly... a "superhero" beaver appears, dragging a massive Christmas tree right across the road, forcing an entire line of trucks to slam on the brakes and wait patiently for "him" to cross! 🦫🎄🚚🤣
This is hands-down the most unexpected and hilarious Christmas scene of the year!

On this day, remembering my maternal grandfather, Pvt William Lawrence, 1st Gordons, lost in the withdrawal from the field at Le Cateau, early 27 August 1914. No known grave.

Every repost will boost Afghan women’s voices and undermine the Taliban’s misogynistic aim of silencing women and girls
It’s the very least you could do @UN @UN_Women

“10% tariffs. Beautiful tariffs. And the penguins - big, strong penguins - come up to me, tears in their eyes: ‘Sir, please, no tariffs. We can’t compete with American penguins.’ But I say, ‘America first.’ They don’t like it, but it’s happening.”#TrumpTariffs

On this day in 1918, Lord Trenchard announced the formation of the world’s first independent air force. ✈️
Today, 107 years later, the dedication, professionalism, and innovation that we were founded upon remains the same as we continue to fly and fight.
