@K_Beckerle Hello Kristine! I am a journalist in Damascus and would like to talk to you about some issues in Syria. How might I get in touch?

"The state wants to tell us that as long as we speak about public affairs & criticize its policies & authoritarianism, our activities will be suspended so that we are forced to deal with administrative matters.. instead of concentrating on public issues" - Hela Ben Salem

"Nour Houda Assel, a psychologist based in Tataouine, has worked with many of these individuals. According to her, the deportees she supports show significant signs of anxiety disorders, persistent insomnia, hypervigilance, and a deep sense of failure or shame." #Tunisia

@NadaOHomsi @RaniaKhalek ...Can invent such dreamlike scenes about parties and youth that whitewash Israeli colonialism and doubtlessly fool unknowing readers. We must all leap at the throat of these narratives especially when they come from those with this false air of legitimacy and good intentions.

[Sam Kimball @SamOnTheRoad]

@NadaOHomsi @RaniaKhalek ... Obfuscation on her part, since it appears to co-founded an organization that teaches "Middle Easterners how to make peace." It is so despicable and worthy of spitting-on not just because Zionism is despicable, but because someone with a fancy bio and a large audience...

[Sam Kimball @SamOnTheRoad]

@Hammonda1 If I recall correctly, this goof just makes up stuff and uses deliberately unintelligible postmodern academic language and theories to obscure the crimes of Zionist settler colonialism. No need to seriously engage. He is not serious. He is just a simpleton in academia.

@haugejostein Out of deep curiosity, I wonder how you were able to a) get into Eritrea and B) to live there. I have always been fascinated by that country but thought it was off limits to foreigners.

Between Two Chants, What Do the People Really Want?

Fifteen years after the revolution, Tunisia finds itself caught between two chants, both invoking the people, both claiming revolutionary legitimacy, and pointing in opposite directions.

"From #Huckabee’s perspective... [he] is very much focused on facilitating Israel’s annexation of the West Bank and the incorporation of what the Israeli right calls 'Judea and Samaria.'" https://t.co/o1z9JGNHbr

@AbrekZaur @complemus @PopularFront_ Awesome!

[Sam Kimball @SamOnTheRoad]

@AbrekZaur @complemus Absolutely truthful. This is why I have been dreaming since the Gaza genocide began of starting my own serious, field reporting-based, anti-capitalist journalism outlet focused on the Global South that can actually pay a living wage to its reporters. But that's hard to do hahaha.

[Sam Kimball @SamOnTheRoad]

@AbrekZaur @complemus Great. Thank you so much for the suggestions.

[Sam Kimball @SamOnTheRoad]

@AbrekZaur @complemus ... Reporting, and pay for that reporting.

[Sam Kimball @SamOnTheRoad]

@AbrekZaur @complemus Fantastic list. Thank you! As a radical who is a journalist by trade, I have begun to tire of pretending to be "objective" and above the fray of class and imperialist struggle. I am curious if you know whether any of the publications on the list publish journalistic field...

[Sam Kimball @SamOnTheRoad]

@isittrueonx @chronicalihere But I'm just asking because you didn't seem to disprove any specific points he made. And I wanted to hear your specific arguments or proof to the contrary. It would be fascinating to get your information as well.
