Videos

I won't ask that anyone watch these videos, but it is important to literally see what is going on in Iran. People are so desensitized that we can listen to the news talk about serial killers while we eat our meat and potatoes. There's no way that can happen here. It really impresses me that YouTube has been such a willing partner in all of this.

Because of my sister's seizure last month, I am still so scared for her. I keep thinking about her - and everyone that I love and care about - in the same situation as these Iranian kids who are just fighting for things we take for granted everyday. I've been crying all morning. When you see what is really going on there, how can you not?
