Our job as citizens is to be an umpire, not a fan. Don’t try to tell me Trump can do no wrong, or that he can do nothing right. I will be an umpire that calls balls and strikes as I see them...
@McJuggerNuggets As the mother of a child that I will need to care for his entire life, I can’t imagine not having him in my life. He is that light of my world. That you deprived yourselves of that is so incredibly sad. That you decided to deprive your child of a chance at life is despicable.
Shocking! This young Iranian woman killed for celebrating khamenei’s death.
Do you remember the night the news spread that Ali Khamenei was dead?
Many of us Iranians watched, almost instinctively, took to the streets. Some cried. Some laughed. Some celebrated. Not because we love death, but because we believed the man who had ordered the imprisonment, torture, blinding, and killing of so many innocent people was finally gone.
She celebrated inside Iran. Her name was Nehal Abuqalandari.
Sources say, she was so happy when she heard the news, she got into a car with her friends and drove through the streets of Khorramabad, full of hope, celebrating the removal of a dictator. But the security forces opened fire and a bullet struck her in the chest.
She could have been me. She could have been thousands of other Iranians who celebrated outside Iran. The only difference is geography. I was lucky enough to celebrate in freedom. But she is now gone simply because she celebrated under a warmonger regime.
Three days later, authorities pressured her family to call her a “war martyr” and blame America and Israel for her death. Her family refused. Because they knew who killed her.
Nehal was not killed by a foreign enemy. She was killed by the Islamic Republic, a regime so afraid of its own people.
This is what breaks my heart.
Her friends say she was kind, positive, and full of life. She should be alive today.
Please say her name: Nehal Abuqalandari.

Today, they hanged him in Iran for protesting.❤️
Now you understand why I showed a graphic image of a hanged man in front of 2,000 people in Washington DC.
If that image was too sensitive for people in the West، this is Iran's daily reality. 4 to 5 people hanged. Every. Single. Day. By the same regime that Western governments are rushing to negotiate with.
Right after my speech, this man was hanged.
Fathollah Avari was arrested in Hamedan during Iran's nationwide uprising in January 2026. The Islamic Republic secretly executed him on Tuesday no last goodbye, no final visit with his family.
They charged him with "waging war against God" .
And yet some of you in the West are more worried about Islamophobia than about people being executed under the Islamic regime.
Ask me again why I hold up graphic images. 💔
