Iran protests, Trump the cult leader, Italy on the verge of putting a neo-Fascist in power

A new Lucid blog drawn from my Q&A introductory comments

Lucid was founded on the premise that we are living through a fateful time in history, when the struggle of autocracy vs. freedom is coming to a head. 2019 was a record year for protests globally.

Now we see Iranian women erupting in protest in over 80 cities over draconian hijab laws. The death of 22 year old Mahsa Amini in police custody after she was arrested for "unsuitable attire" by the morality police has galvanized women to come out into the streets, burning their hijabs and cutting their hair in public, as crowds chant "Death to the dictator." More than 40 women have been killed so far, and many journalists and activists have been arrested.
