Protests in Iran are spiraling into mass riots and uprisings, spreading rapidly across the whole nation. Major gatherings have been reported in Fardis (Karaj), Sohravardi (Tehran), and Mashhad. In Yazd, the situation is described as “completely out of control.”
Iran's regime is losing grip.
“I tell Iranian leaders: don’t start shooting, or we will.”
Yo einstein, they have already killed dozens of Iranian protestors using live fire at huge crowds.
Meanwhile, editorial board on the #WashingtonPost front page: "#JackSmith was gonna shoot the #FirstAmendment!"
What a day to use a gun metaphor while concern trolling about freedom of assembly. I can't even.
When trying to explain Trump's decisions, always start with "how does Putin benefit." As I predicted on Monday, this week #oil price reversed a year-long declining trend and started going back up.
While we keep hearing how Trump seized a Russia-flagged tanker, oil price delta this week alone is worth more than that to Putler.
And while protests in Iran are contributing, #Venezuela war remains a major factor, and one that is entirely a consequence of Trump's decisions.

Tehran tonight: Over 100,000 people have filled just a few kilometers of Andarzgoo Street. A protester on video says, “They opened fire, and people are going right back at them.”
In Shiraz, protesters control several streets near Darvazeh Saadi and have blocked the path of regime forces. In Rahmat Boulevard, crowds are still out.
In Parand, near Independence Square, regime forces, including IRGC, are using live fire. But protestors are not backing down.

Some rather stunning stencilling on the walls of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's 1850s Holmwood House on the Southside of Glasgow. If I remember correctly, this was part of the design by Thomson himself uncovered during restoration work. This involved carefully scraping off the layers of paint and wall paper which had been added to the interior over the century and a half or so since it was constructed to reveal as much of the original details as possible.

Any favorite articles/essays? (Especially around how cars reshaped rural places)
Hi, I'm working on a collection of resources to make writing solarpunk easier and I'm currently putting together a page about exurbs, basically how they came to be, why they're unsustainable, how they might reshape in the future if supply chains break down.
Solarpunk has a lot of 'fuck cars' elements and I've picked up a lot of that over the years, but as I research this one, I'm realizing I don't have specific examples as close to hand as I did for the other topics. I haven't spent much time in communities dedicated just to these discussions and I'd like to make sure I don't miss any community-favorite articles/essays on stuff like how cars reshaped rural places, the complexities of automobile manufacturing supply chains, and the car-size arms race.
If there's anything you think should be included in that discussion I'd be very happy to add it!

"Ci sono molte cose che non sappiamo sulla sparatoria che ha causato la morte di Renee Nicole Good, uccisa ieri dagli agenti federali dell'immigrazione inviati in Minnesota. Ma nel caos seguito alla sparatoria, una cosa è apparsa subito chiara: l'amministrazione Trump ha mentito su quanto accaduto."
