Two female Marxists celebrating the overthrow of the Shah and holding up a picture of the Ayatollah Khomeini. One executed, and the other had to flee to exile.
The billionaires tax is likely to pass as well. I hate the people who whine about democracy when they feel they’re in the majority, then talk about oppression and vulnerable populations. Why did Athens lose the Peloponnesian War?

Net income migration shift from Blue to Red was about $20 billion per year. We won’t see the real effects for two years at least.
Stories of California desperately trying to claw back any income earned in California, as well as verifying residency in another state.
The number of politicians who reflexively condemned Islamophobia was impressive. Great job, everyone

Update: a ballistic missile hit the 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain. Before, the targeting tech was poor for the Iranians. Maybe their smuggling attempts have borne fruit.
