This is said constantly of women who’ve paid a heavy price for speaking out.
‘She can’t have suffered, she’s still speaking.’ What they mean, of course, is ‘suffered enough.’
RT by @jk_rowling: These two journalists who covered Mahsa Amini’s murder are facing a sham trial merely for their accurate reporting. All the while, the perpetrators of Amini’s murder remain free.
The trials of Niloofar Hamedi and Elaheh Mohammadi, who broke the story of the assault on Amini, demonstrates the absurdity of the Islamic Republic's so-called justice system.
The silence of Western governments only begets more violence by the Iranian regime against its own people. While a new generation is finding its voice, injustice stalks the young people of Iran. Diplomacy with a government that is at war with its own people will never be sustainable.
There should be further diplomatic and economic isolation of Tehran. The U.S. and its allies should stop offering a lifeline to the Islamic Republic and give voice to brave reporters like Niloofar and Elaheh.

R to @francesweetman: I was was thinking that the other night, when I was treated to the philosophical musings of someone whose bio reads ‘adult human urinal’.
R to @FKASerioJosh: Same vibe as ‘I’m praying for you’, once said to me through clenched teeth by an American Christian fundamentalist who was of the Potter-is-Satanic school of thought.
This guy is absolutely furious that gay men like myself have the audacity to be happy, confident and to have the courage to speak out against the ‘community’. He’s so angry, I bet he can taste blood.

"I will defend free speech for all views : post-colonial theory as much as gender critical feminism. Free speech for just one side is not free speech at all. Free speech for all sides benefits all sides."
A university is not a club. It is not a political lobby. It is not a seminary. It is not a “brand”. It exists to seek and speak truth, whatever it costs and whoever it upsets. Therefore, without freedom to explore controversial or “offensive” ideas, a university is nothing. These freedoms are worth

R to @solveig283: Sounds like a false accusation. A strawman argument.
