About Iran, from an Iranian Woman
@lilsmichelle

No matter what happens to me in this life, no matter where I live or what language I speak, I will always be an Iranian woman. In every lifetime, I would choose to be Iranian.

Today marks a historic day for Iranians around the world. After nearly fifty years under a regime built on repression, the man who stood at the center of that system is gone. For many of us, the feeling was not shallow celebration. It was release. It was the unfamiliar sensation of air returning to lungs that have been compressed for decades.

And yet the moment Iranians allowed themselves to exhale was the moment the world decided to correct us.

The same world that was silent during mass executions. Silent when political prisoners were killed by the thousands. Silent as women were beaten in the streets. Silent as families buried their children. That silence has now transformed into moral instruction.

The self-proclaimed “President of peace” is once again starting illegal wars without Congressional authorization. This is not what the American people asked for.

Time and time again, Trump has proven that he is not interested in — or capable of — putting “America First.” Our soldiers will have to put their lives on the line to defend his reckless decisions. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution to rein in this dangerous overreach before more damage is done.

No more forever wars.

MAGA-Curious CBS Boss Nixed From ‘Future of Journalism’ Talk
Wiktoria Gucia

A talk on the “future of journalism” by the editor-in-chief of CBS News was canceled as her network is in chaos.

The lecture from Bari Weiss, 41, at the University of California, Los Angeles, was scheduled to take place on Feb. 27. The event was part of a memorial lecture series honoring journalist Daniel Pearl, whose death at the hands of militants in Karachi made him a symbol of press freedom.

The cancellation notice was posted on a UCLA website and detailed that current ticket holders for the event would receive a full reimbursement.
