I wrote about the revolution in Iran.
For more than 43 years, since the beginning of the Islamic Republic, Iranians have been living in fear. But for once, it is no longer the people’s turn to be afraid.

Good morning. This article sums up the bill very well and succinctly.
The pressure for the next 10 days has to be on convincing at least one Republican to refuse to override a veto.

Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. He introduced the Great Replacement conspiracy theory into mainstream American politics via Fox News. That made him a kingmaker in the Republican Party and ratings gold.
This timeline of his extremism goes back to 2004

"that's not how these things work" is what you tell a PR flack when they're begging you to pull a quote b/c a public figure they rep said something stupid in a story.
It's a completely inappropriate response to a teen whose own perspective was barely included in your reporting

Upon interviewing Emily Yoffe myself I was told that I had no say in whether or not the article was published. I asked if my consent was required to publish the article and the reporter told me, “that’s not how these things work.”

A very big deal! 1st ever official Presidential Proclamation of #ArabAmerican Heritage Month! 45 yrs ago, after a White House meeting, I was told I couldn’t be at the followup because a group complained about an “Arab” being invited. We fought back & won!

The indictment of Donald Trump is no cause for joy. The hard work and conscientiousness of the grand jurors must be respected. Now let truth and justice prevail. No one is above the law. #teamstormy

it's so cool that the NYT would rather schedule weeks of intimidation meetings and push out its remaining queer employees than admit that Emily Bazelon wasn't qualified to write 8,000 words on WPATH.

15 years ago anytime there was any shooting they would blame it on muslims and if it were a muslim they would go hog wild trying to indict all muslims. they’re doing that right now with the nashville school shooting and will try to indict all trans people. just don’t engage

I’ve never been a Trump supporter, but if the woke prosecutors indict him later this week, I will have no choice but to storm the Capitol Building again.

Fun fact: An editor at this publication once accidentally confirmed to me that this author was a former CIA agent working on the Middle East.

Among the most flawed narratives that have misinformed the American public about Iran has been the 1953 coup. Glad to see someone set the record straight. Bravo! #MahsaAmini tabletmag.com/sections/israe

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The CIA was directly involved in the 1953 overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. There is documentary evidence of the coup’s planning and the agency has admitted their involvement.
