SAY HER NAME, SCREAM HER NAME. TELL HER STORY. TELL EVERYONE MAHSA AMINI'S STORY.

Lexi Kralie….

Once they shut down our internet (and they will), sharing awareness about the tyranny of the Islamic republic will be on your shoulders

Be our voice because they WILL try to silence us

Please share about Mahsa

Sighs

I just saw a news article refer to the Iranian protests as "anti-hijab protests," and while I think most people realize this, I wanted to write a post about this anyway. I'm not Iranian, and if there's something I misunderstand, I'm open to any Iranian correcting me. But here's what I've gathered from posts by Iranians:

The protests are not "anti-hijab" protests. That is an oversimplification that is so simplified it's incorrect. The protests go beyond the hijab issue. Iranian women are forced to wear the hijab. If they don't wear it they can be beaten or even murdered. If they speak out against, they can get beaten or murdered. If their families spread the word about what happened, their families could be murdered. Children have been murdered.

Mahsa/Jina Amini's murder was the catalyst for the revolution, but it wasn't the root cause, and nor is the hijabs in and of themselves. The people of Iran are protesting because they're sick and tired of living under an oppressive regime their whole lives. They're fighting for the right to wear a hijab or not wear a hijab as they please...and not be murdered because of that choice. They're fighting to end the oppression of women and the country in general. They're not "anti-hijab."

reblog to let people know you were here before the great twitter migration

This is a reblog but this person makes a really serious point imagine how bored the people Iran are of what’s happening to them. They are literally fighting their oppression and being killed. While you “bored about what’s going on!!

!?

Don't tell me yall are already "bored" of Iran's protests?? Why the hell is it not trending, and @staff why won't yall put it in the Stuff We Care About tag category? Yall put Palestine (it still should be there honestly, idk why yall think having eyes on middle eastern countries are just trends).

The motel I’m in is giving Jay Merrick in season 2 of marble hornets vibes

Stand with muslim women for their fight against religious fundamentalism, not against them
