This is stunning. Here is the Naser Khosro/15 Khordad intersection in Tehran, a crowded neighborhood. People chant “death to Khamenei.” The scenery speaks for itself. Watch to the end. This is beyond what the Islamic Republic has ever faced. #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی #IranProtests pic.twitter.com/BgPTLGvqnO

Large day of protests throughout Iran today. Crowds in Tehran this eve chanting “Death to the Dictator”. Popular anger shows no signs of subsiding.

Death to Khomeini. That would have been unheard of 4 decades ago. When the original “Khomeini” died I vaguely recall watching the news and seeing a frenzied mob crowd dropping his body at his funeral in awe of his cult. Fitting. That man triggered something evil in that country which is playing out today against a people who want to live in peace. Civilisation is meant to advance. Islam goes backwards.
Is there a reason that any man should treat woman as less than his animals? Who is man that he should ignore the freedom that God has instilled and endowed to the female of the human race?
And the response from all the so-called feminists in the US and elsewhere in the West?

More rallying to their support than I would have expected. There seems to be a schism in their ranks started by the transgender attempt to cancel women.
Would that we had a President now.
