reblog if it's okay for your mutuals to message you and create an actual friendship, not just interactions
in my room on a saturday evening talking to myself like this
Elon musk has banned the largest university student platforms which give live updates on protests and information on where the next ones will be held.
I just walked around my neighborhood with some friends, banging on pots and pans. Suddenly, 5-10 people appeared behind us and started walking with usβeveryone from an 80-year-old grandmother to a 12-year-old kid. Many people who couldnβt join the march showed their support by turning their lights on and off or chanting along with us from their balconies.
At the end, I recited AndΔ±mΔ±z, and all these people, regardless of their age, joined me.
I just want to say that even if I couldnβt protest in the streets, I did what I could. Wish I could do more.
Turkish youth are incredibly strong.
WHAT THE FUCK I LOVE VICTOR IMAMOGLU AAA THIS IS TOP TIER XJSKSJJAJDKQEK
GLORIOUS REVOLUTION
The situation in Turkey is dire.
Essentially, the presidential candidate candidate Ekrem ImamoΔlu, who is the only candidate who has a chance of winning aganist the 20 year long regime of Erdogan, has been detained for false charges a couple of days before his political party, CHP which is also the largest opposition party in Turkey, has elected their presidential candidate.
This is an active attempt at destroying democracy within the country and also makes it clear at last that Erdogan is a dictator who is ignoring the constitution.
National news channels are not reporting on the protests and side with the government, there is a heavy censorship. The internet has been slowed down to the point of being UNUSABLE without the use of a VPN.
The Taksim Square and ALL the roads going up to it, train, bus, main roads, are all closed off because it is an important and historical place of protest.
There are protests everywhere in the country, in all the major cities. University students are the leading people within these protests while CHP has stayed passive about the whole thing. For now, protests are not violent but people are persistent. Meanwhile, the police have begun using pepper spray and plastic bullets aganist the protestors!
Turkey has not seen a series of political protests this large in the past 12 years, ever since the Gezi Park Protests which you might remember if you have seen it in the news.
Please show your support online and relay this message to any turkish people you might know in your country.
Know this - ErdoΔan is a dictator, his regime is a regime of terror, and these protests are NOT UNLAWFUL.
WHATEVER MEDIA MAY TELL YOU, ESPECΔ°ALLY THE POPULAR TURKISH MEDIA SUCH AS A HABER AND THE LIKE ARE LYING BECAUSE THEY ARE OWNED BY ERDOGAN.
Listen to turkish voices! 19th of March is a civil coup!
Mustafa Kemal'in Askerleriyiz!
The security guards of universities and the police beat students to prevent them from walking. They get arrested. Imagine it says that you can do something in the law, but the people who are supposed to protect you beat you to prevent it. Yesterday I heard they ripped a girl's hair off here. It was awful. I wasn't even there and I got so scared for them.
Its our constitutional right to protest peacefully but hey, guess that doesn't matter.
"came back wrong" but it's from work
