Incredible to reflect on Syria one year ago today and where it is now.
In just minutes, Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa will meet with POTUS, marking the first time a Syrian president will visit the White House since 1946.
Expect sanctions, ISIS, Israel on the agenda.

Good news from the nation's capital, where a jury has determined that chucking a wrapped sandwich at the chest of a federal officer is not a punishable misdemeanor.

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism.
I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists.
I know where my allegiance lies.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.
I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

ستُجرى انتخابات مجلس النواب المصري الأسبوع المقبل. اقرأو مقال الزميل والصديق حليم حنيش @halemhenish.bsky.social حول أهمية هذه الإنتخابات.
لا تكمن أهمية البرلمان المقبل في تعبيره عن إرادة الناس، لكن في تزامنه مع نهاية الولاية الأخيرة للرئيس السيسي، ليصبح دوره محوريًا: إما بتمديد بقاء الرئيس بتعديل الدستور، أو بالتمهيد لانتقال سياسي محسوب.

Lebanon is home to an estimated 250,000 migrant domestic workers, whose rights are systematically denied under the kafala system. In this @timep.bsky.social piece, Jasmin explains why we need to stop talking about protecting individuals under this system and start talking about serious reform.
NEW: For decades, the discourse on migrant domestic workers’ rights in Lebanon has focused on protection. But protection alone is incapable of bringing justice to those facing abuse, argues TIMEP's Jasmin Lilian Diab.
