POPSLive-Tweeting The Revolution Just heard from an eye witness in Tehran: last night 12 people shot to death had been brought to Rasul_Akram hospital, with dozens wounded. i used to use twitter to follow my favorite tech bloggers... good old days :( EVERYONE everywhere set yourLOCATION to TEHRAN! Confuse them.They can't follow everyone! We gather to stand in and in solidarity with the people of Iran. No political factions!!! No flags!! (from any country) TELL YOUR FRIENDS!! I was proud to cast my 1st vote as a US citizen this year, but I am dissapointed at how other govs are acting it was heart warming to see protestors helping iranian police that were injured and hurt. never lose your true cause, integrity,principle! people saying that army is split. people talking of coup. unconfirmed. we need army on our side. ppl (protesters against coup) are on strike, with black clothes today. mourning for what is happening in Iran.
