Let me introduce you to Sarina Esmailzadeh, another hero from my country, Iran.
She was 16 years old. And like so many teenage girls her age, she had a YouTube channel.
She filmed herself baking cookies. She vlogged about her life in Karaj. She talked about compulsory hijab, about what it meant to grow up as a girl under the Islamic Republic, and about her dreams for freedom.
She laughed on camera. She joked. She danced. She was full of life.
On September 23, 2022, Sarina joined the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising. Amnesty International reported that security forces struck her repeatedly on the head with batons, killing her. She was only 16.
I know I keep repeating her age. But how can I not? She was sixteen.
She wanted the world to understand what it means to be a girl standing against bad laws, discriminatory traditions, and a political system that seek to control a woman’s body, her mind, her clothes, and her future.
Sarina stood against all of it. And I have a question:
How many women in the West know her name? How many college students and campus activists know her story?
I want everyone to know her name. Because the regime could kill Sarina, but it could not kill what she stood for.
We are not giving up. We will continue the path Sarina and so many other brave Iranian girls began.
The U.S. will respond to the overnight Iranian missile attack on American forces, President Trump told Fox News.
"We're going to hit them hard. There will be a response."

“Calling for genocide against Israel is despicable. Israel is a great friend and ally of the United States, I’d advise Qatar not to forget that.”

This was Gaza on October 7. I am so sick and tired of people saying that most Gazans want peace with Israel. They don’t. They were kissing the ground with joy as Hamas paraded dead Jews through the streets. Remember this the next time you see someone call them the victims.
Benjamin Netanyahu:
“Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse it will be cursed. This is what the Bible says.”
If you believe in the bible , It’s G-d words and Amen to that 🙏עם ישראל חי וקיים 🇮🇱
WOW 🚨 My jaw literally dropped listening to this
Muslim in New York City admits they are getting undisclosed donations of hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time to build multi-million dollar mosques in America FROM OVERSEAS MULSIM COUNTRIES
Islamic countries are secretly funding the Muslim expansion in America. This is a takeover
@NateFriedman97 even shows the design plans for this $4+ million dollar mosque expansion in New York. It’s so grand and expansions it looks like a mega mosque in Pakistan
We need mass deportations and we need them NOW. This cannot wait any longer
“Do you get some bigger donations as well, like large donations?”
“Yeah, some are $100,000”
“$100,000. Now we're talking. Who are those from? Where are they from usually?”
“Arabic country — Egypt and Morocco”
“As you guys know that without doing these conversations, there's virtually no way to get to the bottom of how mosques are funded because as a religious institution, they don't need to disclose their financials here in the US. I can tell you from having done a tour of this mosque earlier in the day, it's absolutely massive”
We need mass deportations while we still can
"We don't want no Zionists here"
Democratic Congressional candidate Brad Lander, who is Jewish, is cursed at and thrown out of a protest in NYC.
Lander went along with extreme rhetoric against Israel and AIPAC during the primary to win votes, something he admitted made him "queasy" because it played into antisemitism.
Maybe the fact that he's being harassed anyway is a sign that next time, he should just stick to campaigning on his actual views.
