This is tonight in Tehran.
People have taken over the streets. Iran is still under a total blackout.
Only very few people have access to Starlink, and the regime is actively trying to jam and disrupt it.
Despite everything, the streets are alive and the world is being kept in the dark.
People are chanting:
"Until the mullahs are dead, this homeland will not be free."
@elonmusk Still using "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" as a blueprint for what you're trying to achieve with your pal Trump and the guys from Project 2025? Sadly you'll have caused pain to innocent people on your way there, but once you get to the part in the bunker, the joke is on you.

The 48 hours after Trump and Musk cut off Ukraine from weapons and intelligence. Now there is blood on their hands. How can the Republicans let this happen? How can they be so inhumane? How many Ukrainians live and pay taxes in the USA?
