Tehran is 380 square miles. It has a population of 10 million people.
If you cannot imagine that then imagine evacuating New York population just 8.5 million. Imagine the logistics, the roads— pregnant women? Children? Elderly?
This is just an announcement of a mass execution of innocents.

I have lived in authoritarianism before, and participated in a popular movement against it. My political voice was born in it. I was just talking to a friend - this moment is *triggering* because it feels like so few people are reacting on the magnitude of what I know is coming.

8/8. So, if you’re feeling down about these attacks, I understand—I feel that way too. But just remember that they’re not attacking because your work doesn’t matter; they’re attacking *precisely* because it does. So, get some rest, connect with your people, and keep doing it.
