This is horrifying. The Iranian parliament votes overwhelmingly (227-63) to execute the 15,000 protesters they already arrested.

These were peaceful protestors simply seeking the right to basic justice and autonomy. Unacceptable and barbaric.https://t.co/7mMd2hIwTb

Subway Policing Protests

Fam, NYC is in a state of pure rebellion right now. Protests against police and police violence are happening all over the city right now. There are helicopters and police vehicles EVERYWHERE. From Bed-Stuy to Grand Central.

A giant gathering at Grand Central right now demanding free transit in NYC, and cops out of our subways.

Police just arrested one man for unknown reasons and the crowd surged forward, chanting:
