The latest round of #protests in #Iran is large, significant and sharp. We shall hope and see if the people of Iran have success this time

Here's a little #socialMedia wrinkle and it is amazing

#Women have been lighting pictures of the #Ayatollah on fire, and lighting cigarettes with it

Burning photos of the supreme leader is a serious offense

Women smoking is restricted

Not a single (mandatory) #hijab to be seen

Something extraordinary is happening in #Iran:

#Women are really really not giving a fuck anymore

What started as protests over the murder of #MahsaAmini by religious morality #police in 2022 for not wearing her headscarf simmered and now is snowballing. Women and girls are not wearing the mandatory #hijab at ever increasing rates

Beyond the #hijab, there seems to be something of a massive grassroots change happening in #Iran in the last few months

And the government seems unwilling to confront it

“The young generation wants its basic freedoms, and it’s getting them through sheer perseverance” -Donya Amiri

Alcohol, dancing, women and men mingling, rave parties, musical theatre, fashion shows, concerts...

It is remarkable and extraordinary how fast it is happening
