Hello friends! Also posting on the clear heavens place.

I’m deeply saddened to learn that Kianoosh Sanjari has died in Iran. Kianoosh, a former VOA journalist & a man who loved his country, suffered imprisonment & faced severe repression from the Iranian regime that ultimately led to his passing. He will be deeply missed.

John Oliver implores the Senate to pass the PRESS Act! It's already passed the House unanimously.

It would protect journalists across the political spectrum from spying and the threat of jail time for doing their jobs.

Look into her eyes.
The eyes of an Iranian woman – strong, courageous, defying tyranny where the world has looked away.

A gaze that the Tehran regime has decided to extinguish, one morning, at the hour of their prayers.

They are going to execute her. Her name is Varishe Moradi.

Wake up, world. Don’t let bravery die in silence.
