Politico: Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), a liberal icon who was a key architect of the landmark Wall Street regulations Democrats enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, has entered hospice care at his home in Maine.
And as one of his last acts, he is preparing to release a book repudiating his party’s left flank.
A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.”

"Still, Minab" is the single most heart-wrenching and yet life-affirming work I have ever done in my life. In this fieldwork ethnography of the Minab massacre, I conducted in-depth interviews with 35 people, including 8 families, volunteer workers in town, and local eyewitnesses.
The existing accounts of Minab in both English and Farsi language media, while valuable, remain incomplete.
This mini‑series was born from a responsibility to affirm the victims’ own voices: their lives, testimonies, and interpretations as undeniable sources of knowledge about this atrocity. It is also a commitment to them.
This commitment also makes this work freely available and accessible to all. You are welcome (and encouraged) to share and use it widely.
Here is the first episode of the ethnography of Minab—the massacre and its aftermath.
Parastesh Zaeri, 11, survived the US-Zionist attack on her school. But she does not know that her brother, Ali Asghar, 9, who came upstairs after the first explosion to look for her, did not survive.
This is Parastesh's account of what happened that day. The life of Ali Asghar. What was taken from us. And our promise and dedication to carry him forward.
"Still, Minab" honors the people of the south, holding its pain and dignity together, as a testament to the best of humanity.
