If you listen to Syrians, you'll see there is a huge focus on the prisons. Thousands of people are now being released from these slaughter houses, some of them had been there since 1982.

Syrian state TV is now broadcasting just a single, still image.

It reads: “The great revolution has triumphed and the Assad regime has fallen.”

Thinking today of Elizabeth Tsurkov, whom I never met personally but who wrote for us on several occasions. She was for years a must-read analyst on Syria's civil war and the armed groups fighting it until Kataib Hezbollah took her hostage in Baghdad ~2 yrs ago. I hope her captivity also ends soon.

The US is ruled by moral monsters and Trump isn't even in office yet.
The Biden administration continues to be the sole government besides Netanyahu's currently actively preventing a ceasefire in Gaza. Ppl can be in denial all they want, this is a fact.

It is deeply saddening that I no longer see anyone talking about or even remembering Syrian detainees.
There are over half a million Syrian detainees in Assad’s prisons, subjected to brutal torture.
