A new digital movement called "Blackout the System" is calling for a massive economic protest on September 17th. The website encourages participants to adjust W-4 tax withholdings, withdraw money from major banks in favor of credit unions, and cancel corporate subscriptions. The hosts analyze the site's high production value and its claims of participation across 28 countries.
Protests in Iran, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, are described by experts as a fundamental shift in the country's political landscape. A professor from the London School of Economics suggests this marks the "beginning of the end" for the Islamic Republic, noting that young, unarmed protesters are standing their ground against security forces. The movement is characterized by its demographic youth and a widespread loss of government legitimacy.
