Not just the Ayatollah's house - multiple videos of firebombing Basij military buildings in Iran coming out now. Here's one: https://imgur.com/gallery/XpiO57L
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.
Iranians are fed up with Koran-thumping dictators so naturally they're threatening to bomb the Kurds. Kind of like GWB invading Iraq after the Saudis enabled 9/11.
They chose 'the pretty ones': Witness accounts reveal how Iran's security forces use rape to quell protests https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1594774190900785152?s=46&t=f2zJVCC8xpAmxYb3Dc_LoQ Fuck.
Iran Announces End Of ‘Morality Police’ To Appease Protesters Don't get your hopes up, it's likely only the "special squads" and not the lot of them.
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.
But it might get the Western media to forget that general strikes have been called to protest the government. https://twitter.com/nazaninnour/status/1599546589961662464?s=46&t=pyStlADu4pmD7VryBCr4uw
Islamic Republic Leader Ali Khamenei's sister said: My brother is not hearing the people's cry for freedom, he takes only the voice of those on his pay list surrounding him.

Iran hangs Mohsen Shekari for 'enmity against God', the first anti-regime protester to be executed by it's theocracy. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-63900099
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" https://twitter.com/ksadjadpour/status/1603372103318773761 Said on the way to the gallows wearing an Atlanta Falcons jersey and a Macklemore coat.
They’ve reached the “time to kill artists” stage of oppression. https://twitter.com/iranrights_org/status/1608848380159225856?s=46&t=hCIBjYC-PjCEmLsxp4lClA
