"To preserve and struggle for a democratic and progressive society is not through trusting the current HTS authorities or giving them good grades on its governance and management of the transitional phase, but building an independent counter-power gathering democratic and progressive networks and associations."

"The trouble united Muslims and Christians, liberals and 'vatniks,' janitors and professors. Those who could not go out to the shore—the elderly and children—wove containment booms."

"The 48 Uyghurs are said to be part of a larger group of approximately 350 persons who were arrested in Thailand in 2014, after irregularly crossing the Thai border to seek protection. It is alleged that they have been held in de facto incommunicado detention for over a decade."

Emotional and informative interview (podcast and in-browser audio) with two extremely knowledgeable Syrians about the path ahead for their country:
https://www.lrb.co.uk/podcasts-and-videos/podcasts/the-lrb-podcast/after-assad
Don't let the fall of one of the region's and world's most brutal dictatorships be a blip. Think of it like the solstice: it's getting colder but the darkness is being vanquished even as it seems at the height of its oppressive power. It cannot hold.
None of us are free until all of us are free! #OneWorldOneStruggle #Syria

It shouldn't have taken fifty years of organizing, but we are weeping with joy and relief, and gratitude to everyone who worked so hard for so long for this to happen. One ray of justice on an otherwise dismal day.

Weekend beach reading (it is -14C in Mni Sota): An insightful, spiritually-grounded tribute to Malcolm X's elder sister.
https://www.islam21c.com/history/ella-collins-the-woman-who-led-malcolm-x/
"I first read The Autobiography of Malcolm X in the early 90s, as a wide-eyed hijabi teenager in suburban London. [...] There was a Muslim woman in his story who impressed and intrigued me more than Malcolm.
Although Malcolm expressed his indebtedness to this woman, who was a partner in his legacy, she remains an unsung hero in Muslim circles."

A network of networks is doing #mutualaid logistics to supply the recovery and sheltering needs of people in #LA USA devastated and displaced by climate disaster.
Read the slides and toss some dollars to folks who have developed sophisticated autonomous systems of direct aid delivery in disaster situations - need-based and with dignity and self-determination for those affected.
As things get more and more desperate, remember to look for the helpers, and marvel at how they learn and multiply.

Just before the final assault on Artsakh, there were rumors about a massive prison being built in Azerbaijan, for 10,000+ prisoners. People at the time were saying it was to imprison Armenian men.
Turns out there was something to the rumors. This reporting is horrifying:

"In order to be credible, the discourse of secularism must be reclaimed from the Assadists and not co-opted by counter-revolutionary forces. [...] Islamists too must ask whether the Islamic state they defend is one which could really guarantee the values of the revolution, dismantle the repressive structures of the state and not replicate authoritarianism under another name."
(Unsurprisingly) brilliant article from @leilashami

Antifascist political prisoner Jesse Cannon is on the ground fighting the Los Angeles fires as part of a prisoner fire crew.
If you want to express gratitude for him and his crewmates putting their lives on the line, even while incarcerated, to defend vulnerable communities from apocalyptic destruction, send him a postcard.
Mail lifts the spirits of those fighting the fires while locked up 🖤
You can also add funds to his commissary via @/pushingdownthewalls on Venmo. Put "TC" in the note.

"The success of Syria’s revolution depends on learning from Egypt, Tunisia, and Portugal, avoiding their pitfalls of political instability, economic stagnation, and social division. Adopting a comprehensive approach that addresses political and socio-economic dimensions will ensure the revolution brings meaningful and lasting change for all Syrians."
A very welcome optimistic analysis from the highly recommended site MENA Solidarity Network.
