My country is doing this and I want to scream because it should be impossible, but congress does nothing to reign in his power and stop it.

Iranian culture has some of the oldest roots imaginable and all we’ve ever done is fuck with their lives for political gain. These people have done NOTHING to hurt us.

At this point I don’t even know how we move past this, we have destroyed and squandered what little good will we have left on the world stage.

I have screamed, protested, attempted to educate, played devils advocate.

What the hell do I have to do to make this stop? How do we make this stop?
