Justin Pearson and Justin Jones. There is a reason Republicans expelled them. They're Black. They are better, more talented, and braver than Republicans ever dream of being. And they — along with every Gen Z-er — are about to be Republicans' worst nightmare.

Really good BBC News (UK) piece about a top Iranian chess ♟️ player #SaraKhadem totally ignored by the press inside her own country because she chooses to play without hijab but hugely celebrated by the people. The women are going to win this. Watch. #WomanLifeFreedom #MahsaAmini
