My story for @wired today: The MAGA movement is breaking up families - some have even decided to go “no contact” with their Trump supporting parents. But there’s a few who are trying to re-establish common ground, through “book clubs”

People Are Trying to ‘Deprogram’ Their MAGA Parents Through Book Clubs

Our investigation into the explosion in #BandarAbbas — it was likely caused by a violent chemical reaction that resulted in a fire and led to the blast.

Big team effort w/ @megkelly.bsky.social @yjtorbati.bsky.social & Susannah George
