Despite weeks of nationwide protests over economic collapse, Iran’s ruling establishment shows no signs of cracking at the top.
Analysts say the key reason is the regime’s deeply entrenched security state—led by the Revolutionary Guards and Basij—which has remained loyal and intact.

Why Iran’s clerical establishment still holds as protests rage
There are as yet no signs of fracture in the Islamic Republic's security elite.
Liberals love to keep pointing about how Kamala Harris "was right" / "told us so" as if she didn't say that 'trump is weak on border policy' and the same vision and attitude towards Venezuela.
Liberals don't hate that the US is a violent colonial fascist state. They hate that the US is openly a violent colonial fascist state. And that makes them uncomfortable.

"The ultimate goal of this specific act of repression is not just to subjugate trans people, but to erase the very fact of trans existence from public life and legal recognition.
They’re not afraid of people like this building an army, they’re terrified of them building an audience. I am here to suggest that maybe they should be afraid of us building an army."

The trans body is to normative anatomy what Africa once was to Europe: a territory to be carved up and handed over to the highest bidder. The breasts and the skin to cosmetic surgery, the vagina to state surgery, the penis to psychiatry or to Lacanian anamorphosis. What Western scientific and technical discourse considers to be the emblematic sexual organs of masculinity and femininity, the penis and the vagina, are no more real than Rwanda or Nigeria, than Spain or Italy. There is a difference between the lush green hill on one bank of a river and the windswept desert that stretches away on the other bank. There is the erotic landscape of the body. There are no sexual organs, only colonial enclaves of power.
The trans body is a colony of disciplinary institutions, of psychoanalysis, of the media, of the pharmaceutical industry, of the market.
