The trial of Atef Najib opened in Syria on April 26, with Najib facing charges related to "crimes against the Syrian people." Perpetrators should be held accountable, but accountability only lasts if the process itself is solid. HRW's Hiba Zayadin is in Damascus ⤵️

$29 billion and counting spent on Trump's illegal war. Every dollar of which would've been better spent on housing, healthcare & childcare here at home. Restrain this deranged president. Pass a War Powers Resolution now.
Putin’s Victory parade, about defeating Nazism, while ironically conducting the Nazis darkest chapters, screams anything but Victory. Keep chasing that Ukrainian drone, Russian attack helicopter 👍

An Iranian artist performs in the street. He sells onions and grates them in front of people… So people will cry for the lives they are forced to live. A #performance art piece reflecting the painful reality of everyday life for ordinary people. #Iran He has written: “Premium Tear-Inducing Onions.”😰
As expected Fox News has spent a lot of time on UFO files that were recently released by the Pentagon. The images and documents still leave many questions unanswered. It seems like a distraction from files most Americans would like to know more about regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

I think with how Iran has strategically played this war, from the Lego videos to the ballistic missiles that can actively maneuvre to avoid interception they deserve every single penny of that $300 billion God the stuff I've learned about Iran because of Trump, like their average 105 IQ levels

Homefront also happened at the wake of GamerGate 2014. The US gov't wanted a chinese red scare, instead got a gamer uprising. Then there was a buffer starting in 2016 that would lead to a second gamer uprising in the 2020s. Masterful gambit, indeed.
