Rhoda Nazanin’s Tweets

Iranians aren’t just protesting against mandatory hijab and state violence. They are protesting against a system that has repeatedly put the interests of those in power over the well-being of its people. A struggle that has continued, in different forms, for well over a century.

The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.
The image is split down the middle, showing two views of the Southern Ring Nebula. Both feature black backgrounds speckled with tiny bright stars and distant galaxies. Both show the planetary nebula as a misshapen oval that is slightly angled from top left to bottom right and takes up the majority of each image. At left, the near-infrared image shows a bright white star at the center with long diffraction spikes. Large, transparent teal and orange ovals, which are shells ejected by the unseen central star, surround it. At right, the mid-infrared image shows two stars at the center very close to one another. The one at left is red, the smaller one at right is light blue. The blue star has tiny triangles around it. A large transparent red oval surrounds the central stars. From that extend shells in a mix of colors, which are red to the left and right and teal to the top and bottom. Overall, the oval shape of the planetary nebula appears slightly smaller than the one seen at left.
A group of five galaxies that appear close to each other in the sky: two in the middle, one toward the top, one to the upper left, and one toward the bottom. Four of the five appear to be touching. One is somewhat separated. In the image, the galaxies are large relative to the hundreds of much smaller (more distant) galaxies in the background. All five galaxies have bright white cores. Each has a slightly different size, shape, structure, and coloring. Scattered across the image, in front of the galaxies are number of foreground stars with diffraction spikes: bright white points, each with eight bright lines radiating out from the center.

Mr. President, can we circle back to this empty promise? We got you elected and what have you done for us? So much for codifying Roe into Law. #RoeVsWade

Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, and we must fight any and all attempts to overturn it. As president, I will codify Roe into law and ensure this choice remains between a woman and her doctor. washingtonpost.com/politics/court

Alito repeatedly quoted and discussed Matthew Hale in his opinion. Hale was an English judge and lawyer who lived from 1609 to 1676. Hale presided over a witchcraft trial where he sentenced two “witches” to death. Alito took the USA back hundreds of years. #RoeVsWade

There are licensed attorneys in Missouri advising women to delete their period aps, stop buying pregnancy tests with credit cards and don’t tell your physician the last date of your period. This is all fucking insane. None of us were overreacting in 2016. None of us.

Got the news on in the background, switching between Twitter and Instagram, fuming. If you’re in the same boat, turn off your tv and take a walk without your phone. Take some deep breaths. 😑
