On this day in 2013, the people of #Ghouta were suffocated by Assad’s chemical weapons — more than 1,400 innocent lives, mostly children. May their memory never fade.
Eternal disgrace to those who excused, denied, or remained silent.

I wish Binoche, who heads the Cannes Jury, had actually named Fatima Hassouna’s killers during her opening speech. She said a missile killed her and her family, but did not name Israel or use that platform to call for an end to the genocide.

Stop the #genocide in #Gaza. A message from in front of the Peace Palace in #DenHaag #TheHague #Nederland Netherlands

Key details:
At least 11 civilians were killed and dozens injured in a major Israeli ground incursion in Daraa’s countryside, according to the Free Houran Gathering. The assault targeted Jbeiliyeh Dam Forest, between Nawa and Tseel, where the highest casualties were reported.

Syria: 'Brutal mass killings' of Alawite civilians must be investigated as war crimes - new evidence Amnesty’s Crisis Evidence Lab verified videos and photos, conducted weapons analysis, and analysed satellite imagery

The new Syrian gov must hold perpetrators of mass killings of Alawite civilians accountable & take steps to prevent sect-based violence.
Deliberately killing civilians, injured, surrendered, or captured fighters is a war crime & should be treated as such.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

Calls on Israel to drop charges against Palestinian booksellers Israeli police triggered outrage on Monday when they raided the Educational Bookshop in Jerusalem, arresting the owners on 'terror' offences and seizing books.

"Selling books is not a crime."

Today, Farid al-Mathhan aka Caesar, is finally written into history books in the way that he deserves. At great personal risk, he smuggled evidence confirming the brutality of the Assad regime in a way that could not be denied.

Because of him, we cannot say that we did not know.

Split bar chart showing percent who say they trust  their doctor, NIH, CDC, HHS, CMS, the FDA, their public health officials, RFK Jr., Dr. Oz, and President Trump a great deal or a fair amount when it comes to making the right recommendations about health issues broken down by total and party identification.

Republicans have less trust than Democrats in health agencies like HHS, CDC, and FDA to make the right recommendations on health issues.

We find there’s an even larger partisan trust divide in the other direction for President Trump & HHS Secretary Nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

This is inhumane!

Every year, I think of this image around Davos

With the broligarchy on the rise, can we please stop expecting real solutions to come from the super wealthy and Davos?

Another dangerous move that will harm the US and the world!

Due to this idiotic statement, by a person who has proven his inability to distinguish truth from online propaganda, I just donated to Wikipedia. Please do the same.

This madness needs to end!

Applause for possible downfall of Assad at Ukrainian conference in Berlin.

#Syria will be free of Assad, says Syrian activist Nouran Alghamian. #TruthToJustice conference.

“Let’s forget the bloody past” without accepting responsibility is not acceptable. The nerve.

I’m in a state of total overwhelm. As is everyone I’m talking to. Hopeful, relieved, worried, and suddenly feeling the avalanche of the last 14 years, the memories all flooding back, the friendships, the grief, the lives lost, the work done, the anger, the gaslighting.

‘He has come out an old man’: joy and grief as loved ones released from Assad prisons Family members describe renewed hopes after decades-long searches for political detainees in ‘Kingdom of Silence’

The grievances that the two Assads spread around the region are unimaginable, unbelievable... www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

3 cities that are the centers of three provinces in one day! Please spare the people on the ground any last rage and revenge steps by a dying regime!

I know. Still, I can dream. And it is a lovely dream. I live in The Hague, by the way :)
