this revolution, baby, proves who you work for lately

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] evilhanyou for discussing news events in her eljay that I actually care about, instead of, you know, the US media spouting the fact that Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to another victory the other night, or that Kate Gosselin hired police to chase paparazzi away from her $1.1 million mansion.


I think this pic says it all.

And this is a great resource for up-to-date information, believe it or not: here, at [livejournal.com profile] ontd_political.

May I take a moment here to say how disgusted I am at how slow our media has been about catching on to how important this is.

This is a great timeline that evilhanyou provided in her post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/13/iran-demonstrations-viole_n_215189.html

It's true, there's a sad lack of coverage. It disgusts me what a bubble we live in, sometimes.

Have you heard that Twitter is suspending their daily maintenance so that Iranians can keep on using it to communicate.

Yay! :D I'm so glad the Twitter organizers are on board. :)

My God, it's full of stars. XDDDD (literally!)

I love that.

I found it on FARK, while reading one of their Iran-centric news threads. XD The funny thing is that I don't watch enough television to identify half of these people.
