As a trained historian of #Iran, I regret to discover I wasted years poring over books and refining arguments. Amid the #IranProtests, I’ve learned that the country's entire modern history neatly fits into 60-second videos narrated after a quick Wikipedia search and scripted by ChatGPT.

The messaging suggests that Democrats still think their main electoral goal is winning back Trump supporters and that is not a good sign for their future priorities

I’d add, MOST OF THE ICE AGENTS PRESENT clearly didn’t believe it. Nobody but the murderer pulls a gun or otherwise reacts like some murderous terror attack is underway.
WATCH: “Renee Good was not a domestic terrorist. No one acting in good faith actually believes that, no matter what some of our Trump officials say at press conferences,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

The Distance Between Renee Good and Ashli Babbitt Is Fascism

I see people lecturing others that @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social cannot do much in the minority. But leadership doesn't end in what you can get through Congress. It's their refusal, inability to speak clearly about what is happening, defaulting to poll-tested messages that irk.

If lack of accountability for Iraq is part of how we got here, and it is, that problem includes Senate Democrats still having a leader who voted for the Iraq war.

There's something incredibly fishy about this whole story, how would a rusty oil tanker be able to escape from the US Navy? If they want to board a ship like that they can just do it. Smells like bullshit.

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
