There&rsquo;s a theme in today&rsquo;s episode of holding the breath, which is something I&rsquo;ve been doing about unrest and possible US military action in Iran. Sarah and I discuss reporting that the administration seems increasingly likely to take what they term &ldquo;kinetic&rdquo; action (and what Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie and Senators Tim Kaine and Rand Paul would call acts of war).&nbsp; Then there&rsquo;s the way that our guest and friend Natalia Terfa describes holding her breath in Minneapolis. Even as Operation Metro Surge &ldquo;winds down,&rdquo; there are still agents and agitators. There is still fear and tension. There is damage left to repair after &ldquo;it&rsquo;s over,&rdquo; and a sense that it&rsquo;s not really over yet. We&rsquo;re grateful to Natalia for her leadership on the ground and her willingness to discuss it with us today.&nbsp; We often talk about outside of politics as an exhale, and we hope it is today. We talk about our very-non-sports-y Winter Olympics takes, with a special shout out to all of you who participated in the Spice Cabinet Opening Ceremonies.&nbsp; If you&rsquo;ve listened for a long time, you know that I love yoga. One of my favorite parts of a yoga class is taking a collective breath. It reminds me that we&rsquo;re here. We&rsquo;re alive, right now, and that&rsquo;s its own form of miracle. It reminds me that we&rsquo;re not alone. I hope this episode gives you that sense, too. -Beth&nbsp; Topics Discussed: <ul> <li aria-level="1">Unrest in Iran and Potential Military Action&nbsp;</li> <li aria-level="1">On the Ground in Minneapolis with Natalia Terfa</li> <li aria-level="1">Outside of Politics: The Winter Olympics</li> </ul> Ready to go deeper?
