 Sen. Warren officially voices gratitude for Reza Aslan’s endorsement.

Aslan is member of #Iran’s DC-based lobby group @NIACouncil & has close relations with Tehran's regime. Congress is considering a probe into NIAC.

Americans should know who Warren is allied with. ImageImageImageImage
@NIACouncil 2)
Aslan has very close relations with Iran’s regime.

This is his picture with former Iranian regime president Mohammad Khatami.

Note:
Iranian regime officials only take pictures with people whom they fully trust & are certain of their utter loyalty. Image
@NIACouncil 3)
NIAC is a “pro-Tehran advocacy group with deep ties to the Iranian regime, played a key role in the Obama admin's pro-Iran ‘echo chamber,’ which misled Congress & the American people about the terms of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal.”

"Behind our house They're burying 2 people who died of the #CoronaVirus... I asked them why, they insulted us & brought the police... When you don't let people get closer than 100 meters, how can you be burying them just 20 meters from my home?!" the man asks in fury.
#Iran
Feb 27 - Qeshm, S #Iran
This is how authorities are supposedly "taking measures" to address the #CoronaVirus outbreak.
Iranian man arriving in Georgia is quarantined after showing signs of the #CoronaVirus.

My take:
He most likely fled #Iran thinking he would die there because the regime is providing no aid.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

#Iran: several thousand people gathered o the central market in the Arab city of #Ahwaz to protest against the Iranian regime and what they describe as "discriminating policies against the Arab people"
#Iran: the situation later turned violent after Iranian police tried to break up the Arab protest in #Ahwaz, using tear gas and rubber bullets on the people.

The protests are a response to insults being made towards the Arab people on Iranian TV
#Iran: the Arab city of #Ahwaz today. Women are facing off against the Iranian police as they protest the regime's discriminating policies
