"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.

(2,879 posts)7. CNN has always been better for tragedy
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 cant 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.
