I lived and traveled in Iran for months. In Tehran I lived with the family of a retired bank worker who saw me looking for housing. I roomed with his son for months, ate all my meals with them, and they never accepted any money. Once I was sick and throwing up and they all came into the bathroom and the dad stroked my head while I barfed and told me “Aybi nadare” (no shame, it’s ok). I traveled around most of the country by plane, train, bus, shared taxi, etc. Eventually I stopped booking hotels because I’d always meet people on the train, bus etc who’d insist I stay with them. The family of Iran/Iraq war vets from Yazd who took me to Taft for bbq in the mountains. The taxi driver from Rasht who made a bed for me on the floor of his tiny apartment because all the hotels were full. The only time a police officer talked to me was once to make sure I was ok. I never felt in any danger day or night. The land of Iran is as incredibly diverse as its people. There are mountainous rain forests and desert salt flats. I met among the most liberal and most conservative people there, and everything in between. Everyone was so kind it makes me cry with shame.
This Obama edit has 6.3 million likes and 23 million views on TikTok from a random political creator
I've never seen the actual establishment sell Obama's legacy as well as this organic hit
The reality is that he vetoed a bill that would give women with breast cancer a better shot at beating it. What *he’s* doing here is spin. Because he knows how bad this looks.
And by the way, it looks bad because it is bad.
I hope the legislature has enough sense to override.
Deport criminals. Deport gang members. The President has a lot of power over immigration policy, even if we don't support how he uses it.
But Trump isn't just deporting criminals and gang members. He's not even just deporting illegal immigrants.
He's deporting legal residents. He's deporting foreign students. And he's sending people to a foreign prison known for torture and starvation. Not to their home countries. To prison. With no due process. No trial. No judge or lawyer. No way to contact them.
The 2nd highest court in the country has told Trump to stop. He has decided to defy the courts. Instead, he sent his Homeland Security Secretary to El Salvador so she can film this.
Ask yourself: why?
What Trump and Musk are doing to the Social Security Administration ⬇️
They're shutting down 60% of local and regional offices
They're laying off 7,000+ workers
And they're cutting phone services
They’re trying to make it unworkable and inefficient

You are telling me this man is Tren De Aragua? He was so dangerous we had to send him to a foreign prison camp to be beaten with no due process?
Do you have any soul left @marcorubio?
NEW: A @TIME photojournalist was on hand in El Salvador as prison guards beat a man who is likely to be Andry, a gay Venezuelan barber/makeup artist who was seemingly falsely accused of being a gang member and renditioned by the Trump administration with literally NO due process.
Anyone claiming states will do what the Department of Education does is lying to you. A huge job of the Department of Education is enforcing regulations and providing funding and services THE STATES CANNOT OR REFUSE TO.
Entered legally. Did everything right. No criminal record. Now disappeared indefinitely into a foreign gulag. Basically sold to El Salvador as slave labor.
BREAKING: President Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago on the Taxpayers dime.
This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.
In the aftermath of 9/11, Ukraine, a non-NATO ally, sent troops to Afghanistan and Iraq—not because we had to, but because we stood with our US partners and allies in a moment of need. There was no question.
When the West needed us, we were there.
Now, as Ukraine fights for its survival and the security of Europe, we need you to stand with us—fully, decisively, now more than ever.
