I just finished up Fault Lines A History of the United States of America from 1974 by Kevin Kruse and Julian Zelizer. Very good and recommended.

To quote @ramijarrah.bsky.social they will talk, we will listen and hopefully justice will prevail.

The path to bring the Assad family and those who ran the dungeons will be slow and may seem hopeless. We must try anyway.

Rami Jarrah @ramijarrah.bsky.social · Dec 5

People who were forcibly disappeared and thrown into Assad's dungeons 13 years ago have been released, now seeing the light of day for the very first time.

The horrors they have seen, the agony of their loved ones not knowing their fate, now they will talk..

and we will listen.

Besides the hundred thousand plus disappeared, there are 12 million #syrian refugees. I can't even imagine returning home with such anticipation and joy and hope and finding no one.

Leila @leilashami.bsky.social · Dec 5

Many Syrians returned home in the past few days to be reunited with their loved ones.
But some did not find their loved ones, just an empty home ...

One of the reasons I support Amnesty International. The Syrian Civil War has been devastating for the people. My hope is there is enough cooperation to rebuild the country for the people and not just the few.

Thank you. I am feeling good and strong--physically and mentally. It was a complete fluke in how it happened and I think that was the scary part.

The last time I was here, June dislocated my hip. It has taken just over two years to go back.

2 closed reductions on my right hip to fix dislocation and then a total hip replacement on the left.

When the violent illegitimate regime bans the sales of protective gas masks, searches through your bags in metro stations and jails you for carrying one. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

#dogsofbluesky Gator and June would like to report that they did not get to go to the dog park today. According to the humans it was a bit too cold.

For the last week or so, we've been getting in a little over a mile a day, but today was nice enough to get 2 full miles. The lab sleeps so much better when he gets a good walk.

Ice hockey-the guys in red and white are the team I cheer for. The University of Wisconsin Badgers.

#Calgary is making me cry with their tribute to the #Gaudreau brothers.

For those that are not hockey fans, the Gaudreau brothers were killed while riding their bikes by a drunk driver. Both of their wives are pregnant & it was the day before their sister's wedding.

Pls don't drink & drive.

Work is good. It's the busiest time of year--I work in sales & the end of the year is coming.

It's winter here in Wisconsin. Today was sunny & close to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, so that would be about 0 degree Celsius. Tomorrow the winds are expected to pick up so it will make the temp feel colder

Kazakh police are now investigating the mysterious appearance of the Ukrainian flag on a large LED screen in the capital city, Astana, during a visit by Russia's Orc king Vladimir Putin, according to Kazakhstan's interior ministry. #oprussia

Putin was not happy.
