I think @jacbrwn did a very a good job of editing down my rambling answers in this interview. Enjoy! maxwellsocial.com/cafesocietymag…

@dnlklr Let’s do it again soon

The moral high ground is that we don’t hang gay men from cranes. The picture is a clue.

This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.

Kurdish Coalition 1st statement on events in Iran: - The regime’s ending is near - Kurds who are still part of the security forces should end affiliation When uprising happens - Kurds should follow Coalition instruction - No revenge killing - protect public property

My dear compatriots in the provinces of Khuzestan, Ilam, Kermanshah, Kordestan, and Western Azerbaijan; Brave and patriotic Azeris, Kurds, and Lors of Iran; The honorable Yarsan community; And the proud tribes of Jaff, Kalhor, Sanjabi, and Bakhtiari, From the very first days of the Islamic Republic’s rule, you have endured repression, discrimination, and injustice at the hands of this authoritarian and criminal regime—yet you have never surrendered. Throughout these 47 years, and especially during the National Lion and Sun Revolution, you have given dozens of your best sons and daughters—forever remembered—in the cause of freedom and the reclamation of our country. I assure you that I will devote my utmost effort to ensuring that in a free Iran, under a government founded on the separation of religion and state, grounded in the rule of law and equal citizenship, you will no longer face discrimination. You will be able, like every other Iranian, to live freely while preserving your identity, and to benefit justly and equitably from the blessings of a liberated Iran. You are an inseparable part of Iran’s historical and cultural fabric—communities that have always stood as guardians of our territorial integrity and the dignity and honor of our nation. I am confident that you will remain steadfast in this covenant. We stand at the threshold of this regime’s fall. Yet we must remain vigilant and prepared, and deny opportunistic forces—those who have long cast covetous eyes on Iran’s soil—the chance to exploit this moment. I firmly believe that through national unity and shared resolve, a bright future awaits you and every Iranian. Long live Iran, Reza Pahlavi

After hearing the news of Khamenei's death, a disabled Iranian woman celebrates in the same streets where only 2 months ago the Islamic Republic slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent people. Everyone stops to join her and cars start honking in support. This is my Iran ❤️🇮🇷

Regime forces opened fire on people who had taken to the streets to celebrate Khamenei’s death. Please do not let your guard down. Stay safe until further notice. Protect your lives.

Wild scenes coming out of Iran Supporters of opposition leader Reza Pahlavi in Ilam province have stormed a police station. People are neutralizing the regime’s crackdown machine before they can act and kill protesters.

I don’t think I’m qualified to comment on what this must feel like for the people of Iran or their families around the world, having lived free my entire life. All I will say is I am deeply moved.

Goosebumps over Iranian expats in Los Angeles singing ‘Ey Iran,’ the old national anthem in an overwhelming outpouring of celebration

🔴 Fuladshahr, Esfahan Province. Everyone is out. Many of them chanting "Long Live the Shah".

The courageous Iranian people have paid a heavy price for freedom. Thanks to President @realDonaldTrump, their hour of liberation is at hand. In the @washingtonpost I lay out my plan for an orderly, transparent transition to a democratic Iran. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

I hope this young lady is still alive and celebrating today.
