As a filmmaker myself. I’ve learned so much from Jafar Panahi. Thank you for doing this very important interview.

Imagine losing your child and the having your grief weaponized against you by a deranged grifter and his followers.

This was so tragic to see -

Fact check: It's true tear gas is a chemical weapon banned in war

A claim on social media that tear gas is a chemical weapon banned in war but legal for law enforcement purposes is true.

One of the greatest directors of all time, Jafar Panahi.

No director working today understands our vigilante-justice fueled moment better than Jafar Panahi, who is captured beautifully by @roxana-hadadi.bsky.social in this profile www.vulture.com/article/jafa...

Jafar Panahi’s Game of Chicken With the Iranian Regime

In his most defiant film yet, a group of Iranians consider killing the man who tortured them in prison.

Nobody wants it as a story but I have multiple NYPD sources who voted for Mamdani, are eager for his win in November, and who say their colleagues quietly feel the same.

They like that he wants NYPD to focus on crime, not quality of life enforcement.

Mark Misoshnik 🏴 @misoshnik.bsky.social · 4d

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

We were “told” the military, guards, police, and security was put into place to protect people but all along they were meant to protect the ruling occupiers from day one. People of color know this to be fact and now we are seeing it in real time from Chicago to Palestine.

The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians.

It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C.

But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.
