This would have been unthinkable as recently as 2016. The idea that an authority in a forlorn region of Syria, organized according to anarcho-syndicalism, would have the political capital to have its envoys meet with senior officials in the US capital.

Turkey’s efforts to criminalize the popular opposition, and the Kurdish freedom movement in particular, amount to a move from authoritarianism to fascism.

The Emergency Committee for Rojava strongly condemns Turkey’s attempt to ban the pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP), as well as the recent wave of repression targeting party members and elected officials.

Read (and share) our new statement on #Turkey's attempt to ban the #HDP, and the recent wave of repression targeting the pro-Kurdish left: https://t.co/LNUsLc2W4i

My new piece: Turkey invaded Rojava for the same reason the UK, France, and the United States invaded Russia in 1918. There is nothing more threatening to a decaying system than an alternative. https://t.co/3rGx7LcXw5

Turkish forces have fired on a declared U.S. military outpost in northern Syria. Turkey knows all of our locations down to the precise grid coordinate as confirmed by SECDEF and CJCS only two hours ago. This was not a mistake.

Turkey has shelled Mishtenur hill in Kobani, where there is a US base and possibly a French base as well.

Contingent of U.S. Special Forces has been caught up in Turkish shelling against U.S.-backed Kurdish positions in northern Syria.

This is not a case of sending American troops there. They are already there and Trump is withdrawing them, giving the Turkish Army permission to invade.

Kurdish fighters have fought and died in our joint effort to eliminate ISIS. They should not be abandoned in this way.

[Rahila Gupta @RahilaG]

The Turkish invasion of #Rojava has begun. The Kurds have 10 times the courage but only a fraction of Turkey's military might. The thought that this ecological, truly democratic, multi-ethnic women's revolution could be destroyed is unbearable.

[meredith tax @meredithtax]

@RahilaG We all have to mobilize to defend them wherever we are.
