THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Hey, Iranzy here. Thanks for all the support throughout this year. I have one last goal: reaching 100 readers for my graphic novel. Only 28 readers left to go! If you’re into that kind of art, the link is in my profile. The graphic novel is free. Thank you!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Set aside for a minute the stupidity of starting this whole war (we'll come back to it)
This strike on a school shows why war is serious business for serious people.

Rs already scripted the mid term ads; Dems better be prepared this time to counter message to drive home the damaging absurdity of this bill and Rs’ reliance on culture wars to bring out their base voters. D leadership need to listen to their younger and other members who know how to message
Your panel with Ryan, Auchincloss, Goodlander, and Moulton was excellent. Please do more of this.
Great questions from local news in LA as I explain all the challenges arising from this war on Iran:
I asked 5 Iranian-American thought leaders what corporate media isn't telling us about this war.
I encourage you to read their responses & support their advocacy.
If there is one unifying thread uniting these voices, it is: war is not liberation, propaganda is not truth, and bombs are not policy.
CHICAGO FOIA filers! I'm going to be in the city for FOIA Fest on March 21 doing a live taping of my podcast, Disclosure, with my co-host and FOIA attorney, @mvtopic.bsky.social. Do you have Q's about local and federal public records? Send em over in the comments!

Please take the time to listen
Ty for recording this. It helps me to understand how ppl are feeling. My heart is with you and all the ppl of Iran.
Apropos of everything….
“Alberto Gutierrez was taken by ICE agents on January 9 in Echo Park. According to the family, Gutierrez began to feel seriously ill last Friday, and his repeated requests for medical attention was denied. Gutierrez died around 1:00 am on February 27. He was the sole provider for his wife and son.”
Our “house fire” kitties and 2 colonies of cats who are being relocated to barn homes (yay) are in desperate need of food. Our pantries are almost empty. 🐈🐈⬛

No. We vote in the midterms no matter what. We don’t just hand fascists anything, but a palm to the face.
completely agree. though the idea that the complication of refunds is a reason to allow transparently illegal taxation to stand going forward is a pretty wild concept.
lol 😂!!!
I was born and lived in Berwyn until my mid teens. Kinda shocking to see how easily ICE is infiltrating PA.
I’m so sorry for her family and friends, and for you as well. Thank you for caring and ty for your reporting. Some stories must stay with you I imagine. I’m angry, I’m sad and I’m determined that we must not forget what our government is doing to families in our name. We have lost our humanity
First time here but I’ll be coming back. What a peaceful escape.
hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.
It’s a young Benito
When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liam…even if that wasn’t actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit.
Every kid impacted by this administration’s cruelty is another Liam.
So sorry if it was mine? I learned that it was NOT Liam. It was supposed to be a young bad bunny. Sorry. I thought it was Liam as it looked so much like him. That might have been on purpose?
Apparently it was not Liam
I’m so sorry 😞
NEW: Statement from NAACP president
"Donald Trump’s racist video is disgusting and utterly despicable. Trump is obviously desperate to distract us from the Epstein files and his rapidly failing economy. You know who isn’t in the Epstein files? Barack Obama"
