Protests are erupting across Iran. Hundreds killed. Tens of thousands arrested. Families searching for loved ones as journalists are silenced and the internet is restricted. In this piece with Iranian American writer and activist Ariana Jasmine, we cut through the misinformation and explain why justice for Iran means diplomacy, international law, and centering Iranian voices—not sanctions or more war.

CBS interviewed a 25 year police veteran and use of force expert who clearly states the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota by ICE last week was unlawful and unjustified. Then they buried it. Just like they did the CECOT interview. While Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and JD Vance cruelly labeled Renee Good a “domestic terrorist,” the video evidence is clear. Watch the full video as I react in real time and break down exactly what the footage shows.
To become a Licensed Stylist in Illinois you must complete 1,500 hours of training in cutting, coloring, sanitation, and salon management, then pass State Licensing written and practical exams for your state's board of health/cosmetology—a process that takes up to two years. To become an ICE fascist licensed to kidnap & kill innocent people you can drop out of high school, turn 18, and take a 47 day training. This is what “meritocracy” looks like to fascists. 😐
Craziest thing about Donald Trump illegally bombing Venezuela, kidnapping Maduro & his wife, stealing Venezuelan oil, threatening to invade Cuba & Greenland, propaganda claims against Somalis, ICE fascists killing a U.S. Citizen in MN & shooting two more in OR—is that there are still ~5.2 million missing Epstein Files that Trump is hiding to protect himself & his fellow abusers—all while DOJ missed the release deadline in violation of a court order.😐
On fraud, the truth is basically the opposite of whatever MAGAs claim MAGA: Trump did NOT commit fraud JURY: 34X felony fraud convictions MAGA: The 2020 election WAS fraud COURTS: 62 rulings affirm NO fraud MAGA: Somalis commit all the fraud FACT: Fraud ring leader is a white woman named Aimee Bock MAGA: We detest all fraud! TRUMP: Pardons dozens of white people convicted of billions in fraud—total silence from MAGAs FACT: Every MAGA accusation is a confession.
The Trump regime claims they are legally justified in attacking Venezuela and kidnapping Maduro. As a human rights lawyer, I break down the 4 major flaws with their argument. This is an illegal act under US & international law, period.
BREAKING: After 58 years, Trump dissolves the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. CPB served as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations. Now it is no more. Meanwhile, billionaires continue to buy up major legacy media to prevent criticism of Trump. My human rights newsletter remains unapologetic in fact-checked research and justice-centered writing. No required paid sub. Never a paywall. Join us:

Do people understand the white supremacy driving the delays behind the Epstein Files release? Do you really think if there were millions of images of prominent Black and brown people abusing minor white girls there would be this much secrecy? We have ample evidence of powerful white men abusing white children and MAGA Republicans are doing their best to stop the evidence from going public. The nexus of child abuse and white supremacy cannot be ignored.
Hegseth punishing Senator Mark Kelly for Kelly's "crime" of reminding servicemembers that they are bound by the UCMJ and Constitution—and thus must refuse to act on any and all illegal orders—is more clear cut evidence that Trump and Hegseth know they're issuing illegal orders and will not tolerate dissension. This isn't free speech or freedom, it's fear and fascism. It will get worse because Republicans won't grow a spine and stop Trump.
Sect of state Marco Rubio confirms Cuba is next on the list of governments the Trump regime is planning to overthrow. This is empire. This is modern day colonialism.
