NEW | The #Iranian regime will likely keep the mandatory hijab law but look for new, and perhaps more effective, ways to enforce it rather than using the morality patrol. Read CTP and @TheStudyofWar’s full update here:

The regime might expand an Orwellian surveillance-punishment model relying on collective punishment through shutting down non-compliant businesses and remote punishments, such as seizing financial assets in state banks, as alternatives to the morality patrol.
The Iranian regime is likely in a mounting confrontation with citizens in #Izeh, Khuzestan Province.
Glory and power to feminist revolution in Iran.
Western media continue sanitizing the revolution, replacing the middle fingers raised that we've seen coming from Iran w/ V for peace/victory. This is Le Monde & TIME #mahsaami̇ni̇ #IranRevolution

Why do these media impose a politeness that is not there?
We've seen schoolgirls raise middle fingers to their dictators. We've seen revolutionaries burn shit down as they rise up against their oppressors.
There is nothing polite about revolutions. feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-g…

"Doctors and nurses – treating demonstrators in secret to avoid arrest – said they first observed the practice after noticing that women often arrived with different wounds to men, who more commonly had shotgun pellets in their legs, buttocks and backs." #IranRevolution
Revolutions are dangerous. All who rise up risk death and serious injury. The Iranian regime has factored gender into that risk.
A doctor from Isfahan province told The Guardian the regime "wanted to destroy the beauty of these women".

Whether the Time magazine picture shows a peace sign/victory sign, it makes it seem as if the women were going to a concert or a picnic, not a revolution where they’ve been burning things and in which their lives are in danger for daring to rise up. #MahsaAmini #IranRevolution
Revolutions are profane and dangerous for those who revolt and those they revolt against.
Revolutions can do this to you. This is from exactly 11yrs ago, taken coincidentally for Time magazine's Person of the Year: The Protester, for which I was one of several.

The Iranian regime and its security forces have done similar and much worse to those rising up.
Revolutions are not picnics or concerts.
Don't sanitize the images of those who rise up.
Revolutions are not polite.

Siste nytt fra Teheran: Lekkede dokumenter viser at den øverste ledelsen v/ Ali Khamenei i slutten av oktober sendte en konfidensiell forespørsel til Venezuela der det søkes om asyl for landets religiøse ledelse samt de øverste lederne for Revolusjonsgarden.
Forespørselen gjelder også for toppene i Vezarat-e Ettela'at (etterretningstjenesten) og andre ledere.
I brevet, der ordet «پساسقوط» som betyr «etter fallet» er brukt i forbindelse med asylspørsmålet, garanteres også en investering i Venezuela på 5 til 7 milliarder dollar.

Brevet er datert til 26. oktober, som var #mahsaami̇ni̇ sin «chehellom» - en skikk der iranere 40 dager etter sine kjæres død samles til minnestund.
Aminis minnestund blir av mange sett på som en viktig milepæl i revolusjonen som ble utløst av moralpolitiets drap på 22-åringen.

Glory & power to the women & girls in Iran who have seized the narrative & become object and subject in a feminist revolution they began & which they propel.
They are heroes, yes. But look at Time magazine (L) impose politeness on their revolution (R). Revolutions are not polite

I see middle fingers raised, and I hear Fuck the patriarchy. That is erased when you replace the middle finger w/ peace sign.
Deliberate profanity by schoolgirls in Iran is one of the most powerful drivers of their revolution. feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-g… #Mahsa_Amini #IranRevolution

It is powerful to see schoolgirls hold in one hand the enforced hijab they now refuse to wear and with the other they give the middle finger to the patriarchy that enforced that hijab on them.
It is deliberately profane. Revolutions are not polite. #IranRevolution #mahsaami̇ni̇

More fake feminists: Reza Aslan was on MSNBC tonight with Mehdi Hasan, both preening like they’re champions for women in Iran. For years, they’ve both made excuses for anti-women Islamists, like in Iran. In 2008, I debated Aslan on Islamic radicalism. Watch his lame deflection 🤦🏻♀️
Our debate: “Islam is dominated by radicals.”
For the motion: Paul Marshall, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, me
Against: Richard Bulliet, Reza Aslan, Edina Lekovic.
My side won. For these 15 years since, Reza + his side have used “Islamophobia” to silence us.

Here is Reza Aslan’s genuflection for Islamist radicals going back to 2008. He dismissed our arguments regarding radicalization in our Muslim communities as “anecdotes.” Indeed, #mahsaami̇ni̇ would be one of those “anecdotes.”
