This video is going viral on Iranian twitter. Girls at a school in Karaj are booing and kicking out the pro-regime principal. They’ve also removed their forced hijabs

In an unprecedented development, high schools in Iran are protesting too

This is just a fantastic bit of rigorous reporting that is clear-eyed about the genuine increase in violence in NYC over the last two years, but show's quite definitively that the *coverage* and focus on that violence VASTLY outpaces the underlying trend.

This is such an important piece. It’s from 2020 but its message is timeless. Make sure to read it.

@lexfridman best to stick to your
robots. You'll find more independent opinions there.

Another interesting point about Navarro: he also has been subpoenaed to testify before a DOJ federal grand jury. That's a separate action, but obviously now cross-cutting and had to have been carefully coordinated at DOJ.

Democrats have been blindsided by the Alito draft opinion gutting abortion rights. They have only had several decades to prepare from this moment.

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

One of the worst parts of the drama around the Roe v. Wade decision is how weak the Democratic response has been. If Daddy hits you and Mommy just wrings her hands and offers you ice cream afterwards, you’ll grow up one day and be really angry at Mommy.

Started #AllOfUsAreDead and this beginning is nothing like the WebToon, it's very violent, which hmmmm...is a choice.

I won't be live-tweeting this for #DramasWithCarrie, I'm too tired for that, but I'll probably make comments as I go along.
