The US is a deeply violent and unsafe country.

Approximately 43,000 people in the US were killed by gun violence in 2023, averaging 117 deaths per day.

Did you know?

Israel is not only a deeply racist Apartheid state against Arab Christians and Muslims, but the racism against Arab and Ethiopian Jews is also widespread.

Let's learn how 🧵: /1 Racism pervades every aspect of "Israeli" society.

Ethiopian Israelis are incarcerated at a rate that is 760% higher than their proportion in Israeli society.

Forty percent of soldiers of Ethiopian origin have been imprisoned.

Ethiopian immigrant women were sterilized. /2

Westerners are exposed to a false narrative about Iran by a fringe monarchist diaspora.

They romanticize the Iran of the past while spreading falsehoods about the Iran of today.

The life of the average Iranian has improved drastically since the revolution.

Here’s how: 🧵/1 In 1979, only 2% of Iranian adults had a university education.

Today, 45% of Iranian adults have a university education, a considerable proportion of which are women! /2
