‘“There are no good guys”—or “everyone is equally bad”—has become a trope used by many otherwise decent people to absolve themselves of moral guilt for being bystanders to injustice.’

50% chance the Syrian military high command will soon announce a temporary tactical withdrawal from Damascus. 50% chance it will not be issuing any more statements.

Iran, the central force behind deploying terrorist militias to Syria, who have killed 10s of 1000s of Syrians, destroyed our cities and humiliated what's left of our people, all the while labelling us as terrorists, now calling for Dialogue? how about Iran go and fuck itself.

This photo is of me and my friends from Adra Prison in rural Damascus, the Damascus Central Prison, taken in 2011. We were political prisoners for participating in the Syrian revolution. Now, with the news of this dreadful prison’s liberation, my heart is filled with joy and optimism for the future.

By the time those of us in the east coast wake up tomorrow the Assad regime could be over. 54 years of Assadist dictatorship and suffering, over. I keep thinking of all those, so many, who longed for and fought for this moment but didn’t make it. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/w...

Children from #Hama found the head of a statue of Hafez al-Assad, so they put a baby diaper on its head to protect it from the cold. They found it in the town's garbage.

Folks, wars go far far beyond armed groups. If your analysis of outcomes focuses only on these, I don’t really know what to tell you…

Senior opposition military commanders are calling on soldiers in Assad's army stationed in Homs to defect and head toward Hama, offering reassurances of their safety and a commitment that they will not be treated as the enemy.

Hama. The city that gave 40,000 souls in 1982. The city that was besieged, destroyed, entire lineages wiped out in the space of 3 weeks by Assad’s father. Hama the city that broke us all, the city that Syrians have been asking for forgiveness from since 2011. Our Hama is being liberated.

When people wonder why Syrians exploded like that in 2011, part of it was obviously the brutality and the corruption, and the poverty and all of that, but part of it was also having had to put up with several decades’ worth of patronizing bullshit like this.
