so much of adulthood is just grieving in secret. grieving ex lovers, grieving dead friendships, grieving your parents sinking into old age, grieving the person you thought you'd grow into. grieving cities you never got to live in. grieving parts of you that couldn't survive.

A convicted felon is going to cut crime?
A rapist is going to protect women?
A pathological liar is going to stand for truth?
An unrepentant racist is going to unite the races?
A man who filed 3 bankruptcies is going to help businesses?
A man who incites riots is going to keep the peace?

Iraq is legalizing child marriage and lowering the age of consent to just 9.
Iraqi women’s rights activist risks her life and confronts an iman who sponsored the bill.
“You’re following Muhamad who married 9-year-old Aisha 1400 years ago. That is not normal in today’s world!”
In Iran, a woman who was accosted by the “morality police” for not wearing hijab removes her clothing & roams the streets in defiance. She has since been arrested by IRGC forces and forcibly disappeared. This is the brave face of true resistance.
