And because I’m an adult with reasoning capacity and I understand that there are many problems we cannot fix but we sure as hell can make them even worse.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

If you don't know the difference between Sunni and Shia, you really ought to read up. There are nearly 2 billion Muslims, constituting something like a quarter of the global population.

It's a good thing to learn about the people you share the planet with, yes?

I keep thinking about how the propaganda leading to this war was all about how you needed to rescue women and the first thing they did was kill dozens of little girls.

β€œDirect your anger at Trump. Not the Dems”

As of right now, the 2 Dem leaders are:

-not in favor of lifting the embargo against Cuba
-not in favor of leaving Venezuela alone

My son came home CRYING.
Teacher told him: 'Your book report on Nnedi Okorafor doesn't count. Pick a REAL author.'
I was at the principal's office in 20 MINUTES.
'Nnedi won the HUGO AWARD. Define
REAL!
Principal sided with the teacher.
I pulled my son out. HOMESCHOOL now.
Best decision EVER.
He just finished book 15. All African authors.
His confidence? UNSHAKEABLE. b

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

In 1923, SCOTUS held that US taxpayers do not have standing to sue the government for their taxes being spent in an illegal or unconstitutional manner. SCOTUS said it would violate Separation of Powers if taxpayers could sue to control how taxes were spent.

That's been US law ever since.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

If you have the prerequisite knowledge to know that something is correct, you don't need the machine, and if you do not, it can never help you because you can't check it.

That's the problem.
