Entranced by this clip of a crowd singing along to 'Soltane Ghalbha' on the streets of Tehran. At first I couldn't believe it was actually in Iran: women & men dancing & singing together in public is a crime under the Islamic Republic. But the people are rewriting the laws.

I was assured by people like Matt Taibbi that all the talk of impending war was false hysteria ginned up by establishment media.

On Jan 8, 2020, the Revolutionary Guards shot down flight #PS752 shortly after takeoff from Tehran. All 176 passengers & crew were killed. For 3 days, the Iranian government denied responsibility. Since then no justice, no accountability. A nation in grief.

“I have always cared very deeply about these issues,” Chris Cuomo told CNN viewers after his brother got in trouble.

But years before, Chris Cuomo had harassed and groped his own former boss at ABC.

Today, everything has changed. My family is having discussions on what to pack, what to sell, what to leave behind, and what routes to take out of Kabul.

I’ve felt ill all day, to the point that sleeping pills aren’t working. I’m terrified for all of us.

Herat is an ancient city, it falling into the hands of the Taliban is a seismic and horrible blow.

For hundreds of years Herat was the Pearl of Khorasan, a center of learning and art. It’s Great Mosque alone is 500 years older than the United States
