As some of you know, I’m 1/2 Iranian. I was raised Iranian. I grew up Iranian. 98% of the family that I know and interact with on a regular basis are Iranian. Genetically I’m 1/2, but for all intents and purposes, I view myself as an Iranian (American).

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days, you’ll know of the sham election in Iran. The government has killed internet and text message communications, shut down news stations, and put dissenters on “house arrest”. They are trying to quell the will of the people. In this age of the Internet and vast communication, there will always be a way for people to communicate.

As it’s been used in the past, Iranians have harnessed Twitter as a means of communication. I’ve stumbled across a Twitter Grid that is streaming information as fast as it comes in real time from people IN IRAN. If you’re Iranian, or if you just want to know what is really happening, as it’s happening, from people who are there, follow the link now.
