I'm still trying to wrap my head around what has happened over the passed 48 hours. A true leader would admit their failure to protect all Syrians, rather than act as if they only represent one segment of Syrians. Al-Sharaa has utterly failed in this responsibility.

Netanyahu halts entry of all goods & supplies to the illegally blocked and occupied Gaza Strip in defiance of countless warnings about the catastrophic humanitarian situation Israel deliberately inflicting conditions of life on Palestinians in Gaza intended to lead to their destruction is genocide

Humanitarian aid must get into #Gaza, regardless of any ceasefire. International humanitarian law & ICJ rulings are crystal clear. Israel keeps violating both, with impunity. Starving 2 million people is not a negotiation tactic. It’s a war crime.

This resistance deserves just as much focus as the tyranny itself, or else the tyrants win. The fight for freedom, for human dignity, is not won in elections. It is fought in the streets, underground, in the quiet acts of defiance that shake regimes to their core.

I need Bluesky handles focusing on resistance globally and within the United States. Khalas we know that it’s the reign of the bullies, but where’s the spotlight on those standing up to them?

It is very difficult to watch the harrowing video analysis of how 12-year-old Ayman al-Hammouni was brutally killed in the West Bank on 21 February, shot by Israeli forces, with two cameras capturing the circumstances of his murder. www.theguardian.com/world/video/...

Dr. Laila Soueif (68) is slipping away. A mother whose love has become her final act of resistance, desperation, and devotion. A mother whose body is failing before our eyes, whose daughters are watching her die in real time; a sacrifice that no mother should ever have to make. #FreeAlaa #SaveLaila

I’m very pleased to hear that Tunisian WHRD Sihem Bensedrine has been released from pre-trial detention after six months, although she is still under bogus charges and a travel ban. She should be allowed a return to her normal life.

Good news from Tunisia: Sihem Bensedrine (74) the judge who led Tunisia’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, has been released. She’s among the most prominent opposition figures to have been detained in the recent crackdown. Sihem, however, is still subject to a travel ban.
