TRUTH.
The cowardice of the entitled Western slacktivist students who chant “Free Palestine” from a tent on campus is in sharp contrast to the bravery of Iranian students and others standing up to the guns of the vicious Islamic Republic regime.

WHEN KARENISM FINDS ITS LIMITS:
The protesters trying to block ICE are disproportionately liberal, middle-class white women.
My theory is that they've never had confrontations with law enforcement before, so the Karens think they can bully them like cashiers at HomeGoods.
That is very much not the case. https://t.co/1ovW9q36rj

IRAN:
Tonight is the most important night in Iran since the 1979 catastrophe.
It will decide whether the uprising fails due to the sheer oppression, or whether the people can push forward towards victory.

THIS WILL END WELL: Minnesota governor authorizes National Guard as protests erupt after fatal ICE shooting.
As Noah Rothman writes: Tim Walz Is a Reckless Menace.
“We’ve never been at war with our federal government,” the governor inexplicably declared. The implication in Walz’s use of the present perfect tense is that the condition he describes — “war with the federal government” — was not Minnesotans’ previous experience until now.
“We don’t see a desire to work with us on public safety,” Walz continued. “We hear a demonization of our state.” Indeed, “We do not need any further help from the federal government,” the governor added.
Though he emphasized the need for peaceful protest, Walz stressed that it is every Americans’ “patriotic duty” to “get out and protest and speak up to this administration” far beyond Minnesota’s borders. “If you’re in Portland, or you’re in L.A., or you’re in Chicago, or . . . wherever they’re coming next, stand with us — stand with us against this.” We are “not living in a normal world,” Walz mused. And yet, he pondered, perhaps this moment would catalyze a reversion to a more familiar status quo ante. “Maybe we’re at our McCarthy moment,” Walz speculated: “Do you have no decency?”
The famous quote from attorney Joseph Welch addressed to Senator Joseph McCarthy is, “Have you no decency, sir?” which has the inestimable advantage of being syntactically correct.
Also proven correct were McCarthy’s instincts, given Walz’s background. As I wrote in September of 2024 when Walz said “I’ll often have people tell me, ‘I’m really not that into politics.’ Well too damn bad – politics is into you!”, the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee got married on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, promoted a research facility that partners with China’s Wuhan lab, looked the other way when Minneapolis was being destroyed in 2020, and his wife loved the smell of burning businesses. And paraphrasing a quote regularly attributed to Leon Trotsky.

JOHN CLEESE MORPHED INTO THEODORE DALRYMPLE SO SLOWLY, I HARDLY EVEN NOTICED: John Cleese tears into BBC over Iran bias row as actor fumes he’s ‘ashamed’ of broadcaster: ‘It doesn’t want to offend Islamists!’
In one of the most high-profile rows, the Israeli embassy publicly slammed the BBC over its reporting on the Iran protests, with embassy spokesman Alex Gandler claiming the broadcaster has maintained “near-total silence” on the demonstrations while devoting excessive attention to Gaza.
Iranian journalist Mani Barsharzad has added to the criticism, telling GB News that many Iranians perceive the BBC as biased in its coverage of the protests.
“There is a bias there because it doesn’t fit the narrative,” she said. “The narrative, which they want to say is ‘it is their own culture’. ‘If the Islamic Republic is oppressive, it’s because the people want that.’ But this is not the reality.”
Now, Mr Cleese has joined the critics. He took to X, where he reposted criticism of the broadcaster from the likes of Sharron Davies and Jake Wallis Simons, among others taking aim at the Beeb over the supposed lack of coverage from Iran.
But then, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, to coin a phrase:
