Meanwhile, AI companies are bulk-buying physical books (including older, out-of-print, specialized, and sometimes scarce/obscure titles), destructively scanning them for training data, and discarding the originals. mashable.com

Shocking…
This is Taraneh Alidoosti. The actress who represented Iranian cinema to the world, the star of the film that won the Oscar. What did she do? She posted one photo without the hijab during Woman Life Freedom uprising in 2022 to show her solidarity with the People of Iran .
That is all. She said no to executions, no to the crackdown. That same week they came to her home and took her to Evin prison. When she was released, she was no longer the same Taraneh. Doctors diagnosed her with a rare illness that made her skin fall off and ravaged her body. She is still under treatment.
They say it was caused by drug interaction. Which drugs? What did they give her in that prison? No one answers. Today this photo is going viral across Iran because people want to see the price of one photo without hijab. To the regime it was just a photo.
To us, Taraneh is a woman who gave up everything: her career, her cinema, her health. And even now, in silence, mourning her father, she has not bowed. Taraneh, you did not just remove the hijab. You tore off their mask. We are your voice.
#evilIranianRegime This is horrifying. Not of Allah.
Two more hangings in Iran this morning:
Amirhossein Maleki, born 2007.
Amirhossein Ebrahimi, born 2008.
These innocent young men were tortured and forced to falsely confess to crimes without any evidence whatsoever.
Remember that Anti-war diaspora leftist Iranians would be outraged if a bomb dropped on the courthouse which sentenced them to death.

باز هم يه اسم جديد…
يه چهره ى جديد….😞
شاهین آذرآتش، ٢٧ ساله، مربى فوتبال و نوازنده ى سنتور. جوانى محجوب از آستانه‌اشرفیه ى گيلان كه با گلولهٔ مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی به‌شدت زخمی شد.
خانواده‌اش از ترس تهدیدها و وضعیت بحرانی بیمارستان‌ها او را به خانه بردند، اما شاهین دوام نياورد و همان‌جا جان باخت…💔

For months, we were told that 'Sharia Law' was the greatest threat facing Texas, Michigan and America. Our Governor @GregAbbott_TX ran an entire campaign on it!
Apparently, the voters had a different list of priorities. Healthcare, the price of gases, and unethical genocides were of greater concern than a manufactured fear.
May this be a reminder that fear-mongering is no substitute for leadership, and that religious liberty belongs to all Americans.
Bye bye, bigots! May the future be better and brighter for all!

A russian strike drone hit an area between a local dormitory and the Railway Transport College. Arina died at the scene, while another woman passed away in the hospital from her injuries.
Beautiful young people in #Iran
We love you 🥰 !
Halloween in Iran…
The Islamic Republic calls Halloween a “Western vice” and tries to ban it. But young Iranians have a message for the ayatollahs: You don’t get to decide how we live, dress, dance, or celebrate.
While the new “supreme leader “ and other mullahs hide in fear, the young generation is out there celebrating their own lifestyle.
The regime wants to turn Iran into a graveyard. This generation is determined to turn it into a dance floor.

Iran’s regime faces mounting internal pressure: 392 illegal pension-fund directorships, depleted public finances, fuel #protests, and a worsening water crisis. Meanwhile, authorities seize a digital school’s assets, accelerate security prosecutions, and hardliners demand nuclear escalation.

#EvilIranianRegime This is not of Allah, to kill such young people. #ShameonIran @IranIntl_En @IRIMFA_EN
Her father was desperately trying to get his 17 year old daughter’s body back.
Security forces would only release Tabassom’s body if he signed a statement saying his daughter had killed herself.
So this father, whose child had just been shot, had to write with his own hands that she had died by suicide just to be allowed to take her home.
Then her parents took her body through the night from Bandar Abbas back to Komijan, her family’s hometown, where she was buried.
And she was so close to turning eighteen.
Tabassom’s 18th birthday would have been on 19th of March.
She never reached it.

A court in Iran has sentenced 21-year-old protester Omran Amani to death on a charge of "moharebeh," or "waging war against God," according to information obtained by Iran International.
Amani was sentenced on October 24 by Branch 26 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari.
Amani was arrested on February 11, following Iran's nationwide December-January protests, when Basij and intelligence officers raided his shared home in Tehran and detained him alongside two friends, Alireza Dolati and Mohammad Khalizadeh, a source familiar with the case told Iran International.
The three men worked as motorcycle couriers for SnappBox, an Iranian delivery service, the source said.
According to the source, security personnel severely beat the men during their arrest, and Amani was subsequently held in solitary confinement for two months.

Mohsen Jahandideh was shot in the head in Naziabad.
His family rushed to the hospital looking for him.
They were told there had been no deaths.
So they waited all night.
Not knowing whether Mohsen was injured somewhere, unconscious, arrested, or anything.
Then morning came.
Armed men arrived at Haft-e Tir Hospital and took the bodies away.
Only afterward were families shown photographs of the dead.
That is how a family had to look for Mohsen. Through 100s of dead bodies.
He was 36 years old.
He lived in Tehran and worked as a shoe wholesaler in the bazaar. He was unmarried. On January 8, 2026, he was in the Meydan-e Behesht area of Naziabad when he was hit by direct gunfire. The bullet struck his head.
His body was not returned to his family until three days later.

It's been over 10 long years. A DECADE of this lying, cheating, attention-seeking fraud. A TV billionaire whose casinos went bankrupt, with a painted face and not one redeeming quality.
Women have came forward at real cost to themselves, with nothing to gain, to accuse him of rape. Many were just young girls. Juries ordered him to pay over $88 million for sexual assualt.
And he still won the White House twice. Even after two impeachments. Attack on our Capitol. He still won.
How? He tapped into the worst instinct in this country: fear and hate. Fox and paid influencers fed it for years and this guy is the result.
Remember when he said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose a voter? We laughed. He was right. He's done far worse, and a loyal cult still follows him like it's day one.
And behind him are the money hoarders. Handful of people with a mental disorder who think a billion dollars isn't enough.
A billion dollars is only $1 million a month for more than 80 years. How can anyone live on that, right?
They want 100 times more, $3 million a day. 1,000 times more $30 million a day. More, more, more...
Meanwhile:
Our kids can't find a job with a degree that cost more than a mortgage, while AI takes their jobs. They're living with their parents into their late 40s.
Families are choosing between healthcare, rent, and groceries in the richest country on earth, while one guy makes in 1 second equal to their whole life savings and all their Social Security checks. Yet, that's what he claims is the corruption.
And none of it gets fixed, because this orange thing needs 24/7 attention.
So here's what we do. We VOTE. We win the House. We win the Senate. We push out his enablers.
It takes every single one of us. If you don't vote, you don't just hurt yourself. You hurt everyone you love.
Election Day is Tuesday. Vote early if you can. Bring a friend.
This is our best chance to protect what's left of this country and fix it.
You owe it to everyone, including yourself.
IMO, I many on the so-called “left” can also listen to those on the so-called “right.” I have vivid memories of DJT introducing hateful rhetoric abt Obama, Mexicans, Muslims, Chinese, etc. Americans used to work together, & I think most still believe they can.
My heart is crushed. Patrick Stewart, aka Captain Picard, will always be one of my character heroes & more than that, Sir #PatrickStewart seemed to be such a warm, kind human. Deepest condolences. 💔💔💔💔💔

Sad #Iran #EvilIranianRegime killed its own young people…the hope and talent of their own country. Ridiculous.
A live bullet tore into Alireza Khodadadei’s side.
Shotgun pellets struck the back of his head and his legs.
He was rushed to hospital and taken into surgery, but the bleeding was too severe and his lung had been badly damaged.
Alireza died.
He was 19 years old.
And when his family buried him, he was still wearing his hospital clothes.
Alireza was from Najafabad, Isfahan.
He had only just started university.
He was a first semester electrical engineering student at Azad University of Najafabad, at the very beginning of the life he was trying to build for himself.
And university wasn’t all he was doing.
He was also working as a barista at Cafe Park in Najafabad.
He had recently bought himself a car.
He was already thinking about the next step: starting his own business and earning his own income.
First semester.
A job.
A new car.
His whole adult life is only just starting.
On the evening of January 8, 2026, Alireza was outside the fire station in Najafabad when he was shot.
The bullet entered his side.
Pellets hit his head and legs.
People got him to hospital.
Doctors operated.
But they couldn’t stop the damage inside his body.
By the next day, instead of going back to university, back to the café, or getting into the car he had only recently bought, Alireza was being buried in Najafabad cemetery.
Still in his hospital clothes.
There is something so so cruel about how unfinished his life feels.
He hadn’t finished even one semester of university.
He hadn’t opened the business he was planning.
He had barely had time to enjoy the car he’d worked to buy.
His name was Alireza Khodadadei.

#WomensRightsWorldwide This woman is a hero. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
She was born in Iran and built her life in Afghanistan a woman's rights activist with a voice that frightened the men around her.
So her ex-husband threw acid on her face.
In the hospital, after the surgeries, she sat with her head shaved doctors had taken skin from her scalp to rebuild her face. She was still bandaged, still bleeding, still healing.
But her son was not by her side. He was living with his father. And his father set the condition: if you want to talk to your son, you will do it on a video call so I can see what you've become.
She accepted. She needed to hear her child's voice.
On that call, her ex-husband looked at her destroyed face and smiled. He said: "Look at you. You've become like a monster. You'll never dare go out in public again people will be terrified when they see you. I dare you. I dare you to go out and talk about women's rights."
He thought he had broken her. He thought that face was the end of her.
He was wrong.
Every scar on her face became a sentence in her speech. They took her beauty so she took his fear and turned it into courage. Today she walks in public with her head high, and she speaks about women's rights louder than ever.
He wanted to bury her in shame. Instead, he gave the world a witness.
That is why I invited her to our Freedom gala in Poland to dedicate to her the Medal of Freedom I received. Because she is the symbol of resilience itself: the symbol of every woman whose face was burned but whose voice could not be silenced.
Thank you, Poland for opening your doors, for giving visas to my delegation of women from Iran, Afghanistan, and Cameroon.
We are about to start a global women's rights movement and we will go together, all of us, to the German Parliament very soon.
This time, I invited 10 women. In Berlin, we will invite more dissidents.

Baby Anhelina and her mom Inna were killed by Russia yesterday.
Anhelina was just over a year old. Her mom, Inna Mariukhna, was a primary school teacher. They were in the park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, when a Russian drone attacked.
Little Anhelina was killed in her stroller. Her mom died of her injuries in hospital.
Another girl killed in the strike was just 11 years old.
Six people lost their lives from that Russian strike. All of them had simply been spending time in the park. At least 15 more were injured, including seven kids.
Deepest condolences...
