    I didn’t recognize the term ‘Women of the Sun’ so asked my partner if it was quoting a poem or something (Iranians like Afghans are REALLY into quoting poetry) and it turns out that this was in Iranian Kurdistan and the sun refers to the emblem of the Kurds.

    Sharing as it is yet another reminder that this uprising has ethnic/religious connotations as well.

    I'm thinking the Regime shouldn't get it's hopes up. That might have worked immediately after the killing, but now? It's gone way too far for that.

    23-year-old Iranian protestor Majidreza Rahnavard's dying wishes--before being hanged--reflect the living wishes of so many young Iranians living under theocratic tyranny.

    "Don't cry, don't read the Koran, don't pray"

    "Be joyful. Play happy music"

    Said on the way to the gallows wearing an Atlanta Falcons jersey and a Macklemore coat.
