"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.”

@sagilca Of course, the right wing would cringe at the concept of freedom being real anyway. Their world only accepts a narrative that everyone is out for themselves, and that freedom is a lie told by those seeking only power for themselves. Which they do, every damn day.
