Meet the seven brilliant student-scholars disappeared off the streets of the US by the Trump Administration for criticizing Israel’s atrocities in Gaza. Four are being held in brutal for-profit ICE detention centers in Louisiana. None are charged with a crime. Free them now. ā¤µļø

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

8yrs ago today, #Assad's regime dropped Sarin nerve gas onto #KhanSheikhoun in #Idlib -- killing 90+ civilians & injuring 500. 8yrs later, #Assad is gone & #Syria's transitional gov't is helping the OPCW remove & destroy #Syria's CW program.

"The idea post-Assad Syria might have moved seamlessly toward some form of democracy was aspirational. Yet the contours of the transition's new phase suggest Sharaa has in mind a Syria he will continue to rule—and a Syria that is both Islamist and non-democratic." Steven Heydemann

A truly outrageous and sickening request from the Netanyahu government. The U.S. should not be complicit in or use ANY governmental, American taxpayer resources to aid and abet what amounts to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian civilians from Gaza.Ā  We cannot stand for this.

Not any female protestor. The wonderful Zena Shahla, a former detainee and one of our strongest voices against Assad and member of the official committee on missing people. And if she wasn’t any of those things, one of the kindest people in the world.

Syria: fighting has resumed in the city of Suwayda after sunni tribal fighters have entered the residential neighborhoods, completely disregarding the ceasefire that was agreed last night.

"The foundational lie upon which the Biden administration’s Gaza policy was based was that the enormous harm inflicted on civilians in Gaza was unintentional. The truth is that inflicting civilian harm is part of Israel’s strategy." foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/18/bid…

Barring ties to Israel, which of these does not apply to the Bedouin tribes and Sunni clans in the south, with deep ties to Hawrani counterparts across the border in Jordan? Charles Lister
