Interview: @Marionmarooned asks about my thoughts on stagnant US/international policy towards Assad.

Coming out of Twitter (or X) hibernation to retweet this. This, a million times.

When the @UNReliefChief joins in on gaslighting Syrians, as if the UN has not *been* fully aware of the disastrous situation in northwest Syria even before the earthquakes.

At the #Türkiye-#Syria border today. We have so far failed the people in north-west Syria. They rightly feel abandoned. Looking for international help that hasn’t arrived. My duty and our obligation is to correct this failure as fast as we can. That’s my focus now.

For @AJEnglish I spoke to two Syrian women refugees who survived the earthquake. Since Monday, they've sat outside with their children in the dark, in the cold, in the rain, in unimaginable despair of having lost everything yet again #TurkeySyriaEarthquake aljazeera.com/news/2023/2/8/…


These men are political prisoners in the US. Appreciate any and all sharing for awareness. All it takes is for the right policymaker to see this so they can finally be free. They never should have been in prison. #FreeTheHLF5 middleeasteye.net/news/holy-land…

This is not about abortion. It’s about control, and women’s bodies won’t be where this stops.

Forced pregnancy has serious consequences, including: ▪️ Enduring serious health risks from carrying to term and giving birth ▪️ Making it harder to escape poverty ▪️ Derailing education, career and life plans ▪️ Making it more difficult to leave an abusive partner


One hundred percent, law enforcement failed in #Uvalde. They must be held accountable, but do not let that detract from the issue of banning assault weapons and Abbott’s irresponsible approach to weapon ownership in Texas. #BanAssaultWeaponsNow


Who tweets this after an elementary school shooting? Head in the sand much?

For all its very real problems, one shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that the contemporary United States of America is one of the best places to live in all of human history and there’s a reason tons of people of all kinds from all around the world clamor to move here.



Deaths? If your “death” is at the hands of someone else, that’s called murder. (Screenshot from CNN article “Woman who attacked a Black teenager while falsely accusing him of stealing her phone pleads guilty to hate crime charge” by Vera and Frehse)

Terrible news. Spain has deported Mohamed Benhlima, an activist who exposed corruption among Algeria’s high-ranking military officials. A serious violation of Spain’s obligations under international human rights law. Benhlima now faces torture in prison. twitter.com/louiza_isabell…

THREAD This is Sweden. From a language class for immigrants, most of whom are Muslim refugees. The so called teacher yells at a student the following words: *shakes fist* “Cock. Do you know what a man has? Yes? What does he have? What does he have? Say it”

We had to beg for the life of Julius Jones yesterday meanwhile Kyle Rittenhouse will walk free today. This is not a flaw in the system, this is the design.

You literally own a restaurant called Shooter’s Grill and allow waitstaff to open carry. You refuse to go through metal detectors and you’re trying to change policy to allow guns in the Capitol. Also, this is how you show up for Congressional hearings. Keep it.

As we continue to hear the news coming out of Boulder, I’m praying for the police, first responders, and those affected by this tragedy. May God be with us as we make sense of this senseless violence, and may we unify and not divide during this time.

**Adding** instead of decongesting prisons, this is all happening in the middle of a global health crisis.

Sanaa was arrested for demanding that she and her family are allowed to communicate with her detained brother Alaa Abdelfattah.
