The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

So pro tip that comes from absolutely no firsthand experience-

If you are surrounded by antisemetic protesters yelling for an intifada and for Zionists to kill themselves, and they’re closing in on you- start singing Daiyenu very loudly. Slap your knees, belt the words “Dai-Dai-Daiyenu! Dai-Dai-Daiyenu! Daiyenu!”

It’s very easy to get into that rythym, feel that happiness and strength and to make the crowd think you’re strong. Because you are strong. What G-d has given us, it’s enough.

Again - totally not firsthand experience whatsoever.

In this time of incredible division, it's important we in the Jewish community remember that Islamophobia and anti-arab sentiment are not and will never be appropriate responses to antisemitism.

As Martin Luther King Jr, a vocal ally to the Jewish community, said, Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

My soul is calling out for Hashem and noodles. I truly understand the angst of the Israelites as they left Egypt.

I just want to say that I love all your posts. From commentary on exactly how many opinions 2 Jews are likely to have, to random Shabbos stories, to the way you treat antisemitism (I am exactly the same way), to perspectives on basic things I'd never considered before. You really are a joy to interact with

This is so so sweet , I’m going to cry 🥹🥹

500 followers!!!

I just hit 500 followers ( plus six! ) on this account and I'm so glad you've found joy in what I have to say.

(hahah get it, I said Joy.)

But really, it is very cool you guys think I'm cool enough on my little corner of the internet. And I'm sure the followers who have known me for quite a while will be very relieved that there are more people to yell at me to eat better.

This is a jewish community after all...

I hope you don't mind me saying, but I'm really excited for the day you get to be a Jewish blog instead of just Jewish-adjacent. You're gonna be a great Jew.

This is so sweet and I’ve been staring at this in my inbox for several weeks. Thank you so so so much

This has been sustaining me in these difficult times.

The fact that homelessness is controversial tells you everything you need to know about conservatives.

My absolute favorite part about keeping kosher for Passover is scanning the list of ingredients for yeast extract or nuts if you keep kitniyot, and then being horrified by all the chemicals you're putting into your body.

"what the hell is carcinogens-are-us doing in my slushee!? What is toxic-radiation-fun-time in this cheese for??"

Then completely forgetting about that the second you figure out it doesn't have anything you're avoiding.

"I guess I can have I-am-poison-incarnate- no nuts, corn syrup, yeast extract or all that other problematic stuff. This concoction of synthetic chemical compounds might start the next pandemic, but a girl's gotta eat!"

PS- ofc get the kosher for passover certification if you can, but this is about a bunch of college students at 7/11 at 1 AM, STRUGGLING.

if Jews don’t feel safe in the environment you’ve created, you’ve created an antisemitic environment. i don’t get why that’s a hard concept to internalize and comprehend.

update on Toomaj Salehi, the Iranian rapper who supported the protests in '22 and '23. His lawyer has told the press Salehi has been sentenced to death today. There's still the possibility to appeal, which they will. However, it's not an anomaly. More protesters have been sentenced to death. (source)

what’s your favorite color?

I am absolutely obsessed with the color red. I love it and wear it all the time, and not even purposefully. Yesterday, I wore a red sweater, red purse, red backpack and red shoes.

Seeing and experiencing antisemitism is both

- “I both cannot believe and yet deeply understand how this thousands of year hatred has happened in the modern world. We will survive this, whether it comes from skin head or “ concerned political activists “ . This is of no matter to our identities and people hood but I feel the sting just the same.”

And

- “lmao , did they really just fucking say that? No fucking way!”
