Lauren Cone
"You're okay, you're okay."

A remarkable moment as CNN's Clarissa Ward and her team find a Syrian prisoner left behind in a secret prison, alone and unaware the Assad regime was no more.

I can't imagine what horrors that man went through as a political prisoner. For having the temerity to imagine for just a moment that life could be a little better without fascism.

Things have seemed quiet in the closing days of Biden's term, but ending a ruthless dictatorship is a big deal that he is NOT getting credit for--as usual.

International war …hurricanes floods etc here at home. Maybe they will rise out of the ashes of this shitstorm. MSNBC other than Wallace and Lawrence. I can’t even watch clips.

news pieces I've ever seen. Stunning.

I hope that man will be okay, recover from his months held prisoner, and get reconnected with his loved ones.
