this revolution, baby, proves who you work for lately

[misora]

Thanks to 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.




More pictures are here.

Oh, God, having only just commemorated the twentieth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests and massacres, I am so fucking apprehensive and scared. :(

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.

We live in a box *sigh* but I have been keeping up with it through BBC because we'll probably break out into something like this if things keep going the way they have been.

We are sheltered people who are afraid of seeing a breast on TV but fine with our children seeing a guy get his head blown off.

I'm loving the revolution but I'm upset that there isn't more coverage. I tend to get most of my news from Air America and they cover it quite well, but my local paper hardly mentions it. I'm wondering if the lack of coverage is because the media doesn't want Americans to realize that Iran is a Democracy where the people tend to dress as Westerners. If people realized the Persians lean towards a Western secular democratic nation then they can't be the bogeyman the media wants to portray them as.

I'm sad for the people who were shot at this rally, and the fact that they're now going into hospitals to get at the protesters there.

The protest in that picture was also initially banned, I believe. But they came out anyway.

I'm just awed.

This is very inspiring - these people are taking such risk, and for such a good cause.
It makes me think long and hard about our rights and the liberties that we're blessed with here in the USA and how, more often than not, our electorate takes the right to take to the streets to support a candidate for granted.

Thanks for posting this great picture!
