Shame on all of these #media outlets with misleading headlines about #iran.

1) the morality police hasn’t been “disbanded” or “shut down”. A single official (prosecutor general) vaguely suggested “pausing” or suspending it for a bit

2) This is a play for international community to ease up pressure on the Iranian government. It’s a smokescreen.

Aljazeera seems to get it more accurately: https://apple.news/A4Qkjii46Se-CrZeZ2M1uzQ

The Islamic guidance patrol may be gone for now after months of protests, but mandatory hijab is not.

Good morning to everyone who can decisively & strongly condemn & denounce antisemitism without hesitation.
What a week it’s been! Proud and honoured to have been elected at the BC Federation of Labour convention as president! #bcfed22 #bclab #canlab #union
#bcfed22 the calm before the storm! Convention week has begun. ✊🏼
I’d forgotten how exciting EVENTS are! We’re pulling together the last threads of the 2022 BCFED Convention, which opens tomorrow. I can’t wait! #bclab #BCFED2022
Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.
