"Syria’s journey to the liberty and democratic ideals that prompted the Syrian revolution to begin all those years ago will be long and hard ..But on the streets of Damascus[..] it was not fear that I witnessed but hope"

TOP READ: The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has turned Luigi Mangione into something of a folk hero. But celebrating vigilante violence comes with historical baggage and political danger, argues @areidross in @newlinesmag. https://t.co/Zma7rmtGfO

"They talk through Trump’s appointees for the nation’s top health and science agencies like RFK Jr,, how to bring scientific thinking back to policy making, and how to differentiate between public health and individual healthcare."

"Those enthusiastically embracing symbolic vigilante murder risk rejoicing in a vast wave of reaction that will undermine the thankless task of building movements," writes @areidross in a wonderfully thought-provoking essay on Luigimania for @newlinesmag.

shout out to @DannyPostel and the wonderful people at @newlinesmag for working with me to publish my longread on political violence in the US and some of the historical comparisons to Italy's Years of Lead, focusing on the 1977 crisis of the intellectuals.

My interview with Dr Alexander Reid Ross @areidross from Portland State University @GeogPDX about Italy's 'Years of Lead'. Loads of murky parapolitical goings-on. He offers info not found in English-language sources!
@Gia_Passarelli check it out!

reverse-multipolarism: "there are now 4 jews in syria."

[Orly Goldschmidt 🎗️ @Orlygoldschmidt]

"Jewish, Muslim, Christian, they're all here, they want to believe they have a space now..."

Except they're not. In the 1940s, Syria's Jewish community was 40,000 strong. Today just an estimated 3 remain.

Good luck finding a Jew in Syria for an interview.

I'm seeing a younger generation of Syrian activists, recently politicized over Gaza, confused as to why some of the commentators they follow have such bad takes on Syria.
Good time to re-share:
