Freedom shatters the doors of darkness.

FREE ARMY freed the detainees from Saydnaya Prison.

All my cousins were there. I can't wait to know if they are alive. Ya Allah, I don't know what to write. I can't describe my feelings.

Anyone got a Syria starter pack for folks to follow here to track things on the ground? Other than the obvious like Al Jazeera.

I have Syrian family members living in exile in Europe. They've been up all night tracking what's going on with their family at home. This is an important moment it's exciting and it's scary. #FreeSyria

This should piss U.S. all off.

Gerrymandering is likely the reason Democrats lost the House. Anyone running for DNC chair without addressing gerrymandering, is missing the boat! There needs to be a longterm plan for this.

All of this.
I was invited to speak about the upcoming Trump era and share some lessons and optimism. I declined politely. After more than 25 years of researching the far right, I have no more (new) lessons and optimism to share.

My mom died two months ago. This is the first year in over a decade that I have not been focused on my parents and making sure they felt seen and connected to family. I've never liked Thanksgiving very much – I don't like the winter holidays much at all. Family of origin echos. /1

Generally speaking I don't particularly like to cook. I'm 69, and cooking was a women's chore. My mother was ecstatic in the 60s one convenience foods came along. So I was raised on that. 🤷🏼‍♀️
I married a fabulous GenX'er who loves to cook and he's good at it. /1

This exactly
White masculinity is an identity, and playing up the defense of it — via the state, via norms, via violence — is identity politics.
