Some of us are doing what we can by posting about our outage (me on Facebook mostly), participating in rallies, and being ready to vote. At this point, violent protests would enable Trump to impose martial law, which he's dying to do. What happens after November, I don't know.
BTW, this isn't excusing what the US has done. I'm furious and disgusted with much of my country, and have been for years.
It's a little scary when you know too much. Who am I kidding, it's hella scary. For one, Iran is all there is standing between Asia and the US's imperial ambitions now. They've been dreaming to control the Straits of Malacca forever.

Posting outrage will just worse the divide in your country. Better to post humanizing content that Iranians are actual people.
Also, I had doubts about whether protests have any impact at all, but I have to say I was moved by what Brian McGinnis did today.
Interestingly I found out about it on Weibo. The Chinese were really moved by his actions too!
It is heartbreaking! Having not enough knowledge to say anything else, all I know is my heart goes out to the people of Iran.
