I usually don’t share long, emotional posts. But as I sit helplessly watching more family and friends evacuate and lose everything, wondering how far the fires will spread, I feel compelled to say something.

This is not a Republican or Democrat issue, this is a failed system.
A system that prioritizes profit over people impacts every part of our society and how we live.

A system that prioritizes the power of a few over the needs of a community ensures that the community—the masses—will suffer.
We live in a country that, regardless of which party holds office, is always prepared to kill people, bomb and invade other nations, continue forever wars and never asks “how will we pay for it”

All while our elected officials personally gain from companies that profit from war.

Thread: As I’ve been talking to #Iranians in #Iran over the last couple weeks, some family & others friends I came to know over course of my yrs of field research in Iran, I’ve collected some of the more illuminating, interesting & at times heartbreaking comments 👇🏽
“After the nuclear deal we should’ve been flying in new Boeing planes, not shooting them down. How far we have fallen is truly sorrowful. From the hope of a different future, a moment of change, to not only broken promises, but what feels like darker days from the past”
“More than anything I’m scared. I believed in nuclear deal, it gave me hope for a better future & #Iran abided by it. It seems like we were punished for that. Now I’m scared of war & what might become of us. Iraq, Libya, Syria? The examples around us are grim”
