You need to read this.

@TimothyDSnyder has been warning us since 2016 on the risk Donald Trump poses. He knows: he’s one of the world’s leading experts on authoritarianism & has always been ahead of the game.

V proud to publish him in @thenerve_news. He’s an essential voice.

My dad has started a series of drawings recently and one of them just went viral on social media. Never give up. He's 91 and finally getting some recognition. Here's his Gilded Birds interview. https://t.co/bwyaalQvUQ

Dear @washingtonpost journalists. Solidarity on a terrible day. But also: it’s an opportunity. The @guardian also fucked over its journalists last year. Months later, 5 of us launched @thenerve_news - with zero £ - & it’s working! Rebuild your own media from the ground up 👊👊👊

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came to the rescue & helped support independent journalism in this darkest of years. We lost our news organisation…but we built a new one! @thenerve_news 🙏🙏🙏

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful reminder of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. Yes we use our bodies like weapons to fight back a regime that kills women for showing their hair.

This happened at Tehran’s Science and Research University She has since been arrested by the authorities.
Be her voice.
