This week, more than most, I’ve been thinking about Salwa Ismail’s THE RULE OF VIOLENCE. A powerful and moving book about the rule of the Assad family in Syria, I urge you to read the section on memory, violence, and Hama in the 1980s - https://t.co/w6okbkWxz1

The #Assad regime's murderous dictatorship in #Syria has fallen. Syrians are elated and their moods seem to be a mix of celebration and apprehension. Amid these rapid changes, this is a reminder what the regime was most infamous for: militias, massacres, and prisons. A thread 🧵

What would you do after a #ceasefire? Everyone I know wants to cry, breathe, wrap their heads around loss, to realize the bombing has ended. Everyone I know is mourning thousands killed & hundreds of thousands left without a roof over their heads.
