Some schools in the country are adding halal meal options for Muslim students, and that has opened a wider debate about how schools handle special dietary needs. The contrast is what gets people talking: a religious dietary request may have a dedicated meal option, while another child may need gluten-free food because of celiac disease, another may have a serious peanut allergy, and another family may request kosher food. The rules and legal requirements are not identical, but from a parent’s point of view, the obvious question is why some accommodations appear easier to provide than others. If schools are going to expand special meal programs, should the same level of planning and access be available for medical conditions, allergies, and other religious dietary requirements as well? #schoollunch #halalmeals #dietaryneeds

I drafted this in a way that it can be publicly shared with anyone anywhere. This started as a personal project for me while I was investigating where/how the Trump/Pahlavi alliance converges. I also investigated the pros and cons of a public Trump endorsement and had AI draft it as a decision matrix. I'm just doing this to satisfy my own curiosity. Feedback is welcome! THE LION AND SUN CONVERGENCE How the Trump-Pahlavi Alignment Works — and What It's Building Toward A public briefing • August 11, 2026 What this memo explains A strategic convergence has formed between the Trump administration and the Iranian opposition led by Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last Shah. This memo explains what that convergence consists of, why it matters, and what it is building toward. It assumes no prior knowledge of Iranian politics or the ongoing conflict. Who is Reza Pahlavi? Reza Pahlavi is the son of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the monarch overthrown in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. He has lived in exile since childhood and leads a movement calling for a secular, democratic Iran. His supporters refer to their movement as the Lion and Sun Revolution, after Iran's historic national emblem. In January 2026, mass uprisings across Iran chanting his name were met with regime violence that killed tens of thousands in days. Pahlavi has since published detailed transition plans covering military restructuring, economic recovery, and foreign policy. The signal: Rubio and Graham met with Pahlavi In recent months, Senator Marco Rubio — formerly Secretary of State and Senate Intelligence Committee chairman — and the late Senator Lindsey Graham, the Senate's most prominent Iran hawk, held meetings with Pahlavi. These were not courtesy calls. Senior national-security figures do not meet exiled opposition leaders without purpose. The meetings signal that Trump's foreign-policy network has selected Pahlavi as its preferred Iranian partner for a post-regime transition. Where the two visions align

The pilot of the plane, Farrokhzad Jahangiri, was a phantom pilot who was supposed to hit Khomeini's house with a television missile on the 18th of Tir 59 (Coup of the Mask / Novozhda / Shahrokhie). Despite the Rapier missile system and the steep slope of the mountain behind the house, there was no choice but for him to crash his plane into the house to ensure the destruction of Khomeini's house and person. If he had done so, given the speed of the plane, the weight and fuel it had, nothing of his body would have remained, however, according to the pilot, Khosrow Beytollahi, Jahangiri, had volunteered to ensure the completion of the task. The coup did not succeed and he and a group of pilots, officers, members of the Novah unit, and civilians were arrested. Many were executed a month later. The pilot, Farrokhzad Jahangiri, was killed by the judge of the court, Mohammad Mohammadi, the mayor (who later became the head of the reformists) by shooting a bullet in his mouth and face. The nephew of the pilot, in a letter, said: "My mother was happy that she was killed in the same court for her bravery. Just not being in the execution row and not standing on the gallows is a source of joy for me." His carelessness and lack of place in the few remaining photos of him is evident. The rank of the late Farrokhzad Jahangiri is mentioned in some sources as a sergeant and in some other sources (even in the newspapers of 59) as a pilot. #WeRemember #جاویدشاه #جانم_فدای_ایران #پاينده_ایران_یکپارچه #میجنگیم_میمیریم_ایرانو_پس_میگیریم

Another horrific act of trans violence has taken place. A 7-year-old boy named William Evans was tortured to death in Cincinnati. Beaten. Burned. Choked underwater. Bound with duct tape and left in a closet. His mother, Kaitlin Evans, and two trans-identifying males, Nessa Keaney and Kirby Rankin, lived together and acted as his “co-parents.” All three have been charged with murder. As we all know too well by now, this is not an isolated horror. Time and again we see the same pattern: males who identify as women involved in extreme violence, especially against the most vulnerable. William never stood a chance. May his sweet soul rest in peace. X: Gays Against Groomers https://x.com/againstgrmrs/status/2086615133099352257
