Iran is Reeling in a State of Shock After Brutal Crackdown on Protests, with Doctors Being Hunted Down for Helping Wounded Protesters.
The Iranian government's brutal crackdown on protesters has sent shockwaves through the country, leaving it in a state of collective trauma. According to Le Monde, doctors and nurses who helped wounded protesters are being actively hunted down by the regime, further escalating the crisis.
Meanwhile, France released its 2025 immigration statistics, which showed an 11% increase in residence permits, but also revealed that undocumented migrants were obtaining fewer legal status and deportation numbers increased by 15%. While some newspapers highlighted this data as evidence of a "migration tsunami" in France, others argued that immigration was necessary for growth.
In a move seen as counter to the European tide, Spain announced it would grant legal status to half a million undocumented migrants. However, not everyone saw this decision as a positive development, with one newspaper stating that it was an unrealistic long-term strategy for economic growth.
The news comes as the United States officially withdrew from the Paris Agreement on climate change for the second time, prompting concerns over its commitment to addressing global warming. Critics called the move an abdication of responsibility and a "race to the bottom".
On a more lighthearted note, sales of the gay hockey romance novel "Heated Rivalry" surged 529% after New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani recommended that residents stay indoors during cold storms by reading the book.

my heart goes out to the people in Iran right now... those protesters were fighting for their rights and freedom, just like we should be protecting our own human rights back home 
. it's so sad that doctors are being targeted for trying to help others in need 
. can't imagine what it would be like if our hospitals were raided by the authorities because people needed medical attention 
.
... who wouldn't want to read a rom-com about hockey while hibernating from cold storms 
? and yay for Spain taking action on immigration - it's not an easy issue, but we need more countries like that one being understanding 
. and on a more serious note, the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement is really concerning... climate change is something we all gotta face together 
.
. It's like the government is more concerned with silencing dissent than addressing the root issues.
.
. Can't believe they're targeting doctors who just wanna help people, it's like they're trying to suck all the humanity out of their country 
. Maybe Mayor Mamdani should start an indoor reading program for everyone to stay warm and cozy during cold storms 
.
. Doctors and nurses who just wanted to help people in need are being hunted down?! That's so not right 
I'm all for growth, but let's make sure it doesn't come at the cost of people's rights 
.
That's like a breath of fresh air! We should all be cheering for that kind of progress 
. And let's not forget about the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement 
. Climate change is real, folks, and we need to take action ASAP 
.
! I'm definitely adding that to my reading list 
.
. I mean, can you believe they're hunting down doctors who just want to help people in need? 
It's like they're trying to suck the life out of the country. 
As for France and Spain's immigration policies, it's all about finding a balance 
. The US can't just opt out of it and expect everyone else to handle it for them 
. It's time for some serious leadership 
! Meanwhile, who knew a gay hockey romance novel could bring people together 
? Maybe we should all take a page from Zohran's book
