In New York, marijuana now sends more kids ages 0–4 to the ER than Tylenol, aspirin, and ibuprofen combined.

We @learnaboutsam have been sounding the alarm on this issue for a long time now.

چهل و شش سال از درگذشت پدرم می‌گذرد، اما او امروز زنده‌ترین چهره سیاسی در پیشگاه تاریخ و دل ایرانیان است.

شعله عشق ملت ایران به او روز به روز بلندتر و فروزان‌تر می‌شود. همان‌طور که جاویدنام مجیدرضا رهنورد به نیابت از میلیون‌ها جوان ایرانی نوشت: «نسلی عاشقت شد، که تو را هرگز ندید».

پدرم با تمام وجود، عاشقِ ایران بود. قلب او با طبیعت این خاک می‌تپید و باریدن باران بر دشت‌های ایران، برایش بهترین و زیباترین خبر بود.

او در ۲۲ سالگی، کشور را در شرایط دشوار اشغال متفقین تحویل گرفت و با تکیه بر میهن‌پرستی، ایران را به سوی دروازه‌های تمدن بزرگ هدایت کرد. اگر فاجعه ۵۷، مسیر تاریخ ما را منحرف نمی‌کرد، ایران امروز یکی از درخشان‌ترین قطب‌های رفاه و توسعه در جهان بود.

هم‌میهنانم، اگر به راه او باور داریم، مسئولیت بزرگی بر دوش ماست. برای وفاداری به نگاه او، ما باید ایران را از این فرقه تبهکار پس بگیریم و آن را دوباره بسازیم.

پاینده ایران

[Hooman M. Melamed MD FAAOS @DrHMelamed]

President Trump @POTUS just said we’re dealing with a “totally different group of people” in Iran who are “much more reasonable.”
This is COMPLETELY WRONG
The same brutal figures who have been in power since the beginning are still running the show:
• Gholam-Hossein Ejei – Chief Justice, directly responsible for ordering mass executions of protesters.
• Ahmad-Reza Radan – Police chief, oversaw the killing of hundreds during the 2022, 2024 & 2026 uprising.
• Mohsen Rezaei – Senior IRGC commander who has repeatedly called for killing more Iranians who speak out. Not to mention, he killed his own son who dared to speak out about his dad and the regime.
• Ahmad Vahidi – Current IRGC commander with a long record of terrorism and repression.
• Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf – Parliament Speaker, directly involved in the 1988 massacre and the 2009, 2022, 2024, 2026
crackdown.
These are NOT “new” or “reasonable” people. This is the same regime with the same ideology — just with some commanders killed. The core executioners and decision-makers remain in place.
Calling this “regime change” while the same monsters are still in charge is an insult to every Iranian who has been tortured, executed, or forced to flee.

We should be concerned about fruit-flavored vapes. My new piece for @unherd here ⬇️⬇️⬇️

For the past few years the Met Gala has been frankly, weird.

This year Google co-founder Sergey Brin and his girlfriend Gerelyn Gilbert-Soto used the spotlight not to highlight themselves but to highlight the people of Iran by wearing the Lion and Sun flag.

That's character.

@kaitlancollins What do YOU think he meant by that @kaitlancollins ??? Why don’t you be honest? What would you be thinking if somebody had said 86 44?? 🤔

@DebHaalandNM SHAME ON YOU for ruining the life your young people.

[Cameron Khansarinia @khansarinia]

@NicoleGohlke How is the freedom, peace, and democracy in the monarchies of Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Norway?

You think you’re an intellectual but you are so smug and arrogant that you have become the racist imperialist.

You think you can tell Iranians what is best for them? Try again.

After Prince Reza Pahlavi’s press conference, I stood next to the parents of the victims the Prince refers to. I was supposed to translate.

I reminded the journalists of who these brave parents were.

The journalists still ignored them. I had no questions to translate.

Shame.

[Pardis Mehrassa @PMehrassa]

@MayorFrey SHAME ON YOU!

[Kevin Sabet @KevinSabet]

In the comments, many of the regrets of former marijuana users are shared, and it is tragic. Totally avoidable.

[Pardis Mehrassa @PMehrassa]

@ChrisCuomo 30,000 is not believable to you @ChrisCuomo? Is 5000?
Less? 2000 killings? How many killings of young men and women is enough to get you riled up?

Iran, the monarchy, and Prince Reza Pahlavi... three things you need to know.

The best analysis I ever heard on understanding Trump is from the icon @ZitoSalena who infamously said - take Trump seriously, not literally.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP ON ARMING IRANIANS: "I'm very upset with a certain group of people, and they're going to pay a big price for that!"

"But the Iranian people will fight back as soon as they know they're not going to be shot and as soon as they can get weapons."

"If they had weapons, not many of them, if they had weapons that would go the other way, and you know what would happen? Iran would give up in two seconds because they wouldn't be able to take it."

"But in Iran, they have absolutely no weaponry. And they've been told point blank, if you come out, if you come out to the streets, you will be killed."

"As of this morning, and we have this on pretty good information, 45,000 protesters have been killed."

@davidaxelrod @POTUS What is your recommendation?? Negotiations with the Devil??

[Pardis Mehrassa @PMehrassa]

@davidaxelrod @POTUS You’re right - he should do what Obama did —- send millions in cash to the IRGC on a US plane!! 👌🏻
