🧵A word or two about Assad, as he slithers his way out of history.
1.Assad is one of the 21st century original monsters. He gave anti-imperialism as bad, or worse, a name as Bush Jr has given democracy, and, like Bush, accomplished fuck all else for the cause he lay claim to.

@RashaAlAqeedi @im_PULSE How unsurprising to see which accounts so happily retweeted that.

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

Indeed. Seeing some embarrassing takes from people who clearly don't view Syrians as human beings with agency.

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

@indigojo_uk Such an amazing, blessed day.

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

@Maysaloon Of the many sad things, one of the saddest was knowing the country that Syria had the potential to be and seeing all that potential wasted.

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

@Maysaloon What a wonderful, wonderful day! Hope all your family are well, Insha Allah

Look man I get the tendency to skepticism bred by the internet but these guys are fucking live overthrowing one of the worst totalitarian police states to ever be conceived by humanity and that’s a fantastic fucking thing regardless of what comes next so it’s okay to be happy

[Dr. Zaher Sahloul @sahloul]

For Western media especially @CNN @BBCNews, can you please focus on the celebrations and joy of the Syrian people? This is our Berlin Wall moment.
Don’t ruin it by mentioning ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Iran every other word. Syrians hate ISIS, and extremism that were created by the regime that has fallen. Don’t repeat cliches and rhetorics of ignorant policy-makers and politicians who care less about aspirations of people yearning for freedoms that we enjoy.
The Syrian people are our friends, your friends, and we should be their friends.
Focus on hope and the joy of Syrian women and children. Would you please?

#Syria MAP UPDATE: as of 08/12/2024 Syria is free!

No more 'rebels', 'loyalists', or 'federalists', in this update there are just 'Syrian Forces'.

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

What a great and glorious day. Alhamdulilah! Hard to put into words how brilliant this feels. #FreeSyria

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

Finally, Ramadan is a time of du'a and prayer. I just want for others what I want for myself and my loved ones: freedom, democracy, dignity and the right to disagree, always. Ameen.

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

I usually sign off for Ramadan every year. But this time, I'm not sure I'll be back afterwards. 🧵

It is worse on here now than when the Syrian conflict was at its nadir. Every single day just denial of basic humanity and cheering on death and suffering.

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

I cba "curating my feed" or whatever, because it's everywhere. Better to just walk away. Thank you to anyone who's been a good egg during my many misspent hours on here.

If I do return, it won't be on this account.

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

@camwbaman Correct. The speed of carrying the ball + the accuracy of the pass!

[Safiya Outlines @SafiyaOutlines]

Plush octopus *and* tracksuit, tyvm!

Just bizarre how lightly some politicians take trying to destroy someone based solely on a photo on Twitter.
