Unsuccessful anti-regime protests over the years have left Western officials numb to the idea that change is possible in Iran. In a post–Oct 7 world—and with Trump’s unpredictability—I argue in the @nytimes the West must be open and start policy planning. https://t.co/NWTVCL691y

In a past life, I was a reporter in Putin's Russia. During that time, a leading Russian opposition journalist told me he feared interactions with law enforcement because a police officer could easily plant drugs on him to fabricate a criminal case. A few years later, a totally

I remember the days when this crony-capitalist govt had almost sold off our right to free information on an open internet to Zuckerberg. If it wasn't for @nixxin and his activism India's internet UX would be Zuck's version of whatever Russia has. Banya founders reinventing kinara

🚨Horrifying reports from Iran⚠️ “ The bodies are being taken to Kahrizak Forensic Medicine from everywhere. The volume of bodies is so high that they've lined them up in the courtyard. A very large number of refrigerated containers have been brought in for the bodies. People

Today, I take to the streets. I have no fear, no worries. I want my right.” Those were Mehdi Zatparvar’s last words on his instagram, and yesterday the Islamic Republic answered those words with bullets. They killed a world-champion athlete for demanding something simple: his
