@BreezeAirways As a Louisvillian living in San Francisco, it would be SERIOUSLY NICE if Breeze offered flights between SFO and Louisville around spring break time (late March), the beginning of the Derby Festival (last two weeks of April), and graduation season (mid- to late-May). Please add!

Raids in Rural Damascus Lead to Arrest of Several Suspects Behind Church Attack

[Nadia Almasalkhi, PhD | د. نادية المسالخي @NAlmasalkhi]

Please consider donating to the victims of the attack on a church in Damascus. I just did. We Syrians and Syrian Americans should all stand together and support each other in times of hardship and sorrow, and I am confident we will. @ACSyria

We all have to fight back against fascism. This is a test case and it couldn’t be more important we stop this and bring him home.

Mahmoud’s rights are our rights. If they can illegally abduct him and shred his legal rights, they will never stop. Anyone this lawless administration disagrees with can be targeted.

Proud to be represented by @lateefahsimon -- one of the shamefully few Reps to sign onto letter demanding the release of a political prisoner being held for exercising free speech #FreeMahmoudKhalil

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

I'm joining 13 of my colleagues to demand that the Trump Administration immediately releases Mahmoud Khalil. Their illegal actions set a dangerous precedent. We cannot allow them to shred our constitutional rights to free speech and due process. Free Mahmoud Khalil.

Some have asked if the #Assad regime was really as bad as reports say. Short answer: yes. Even before the war, the regime was viciously repressive and virtually every #Syrian felt it. I encourage you to read the testimonies of Syrians in this article:
