In Turkey, thousands are standing up to protect their democracy after the arrest of Istanbul’s mayor. 📢

As protests grow, opposition voices are being silenced—X accounts suspended, internet access restricted.

But the people are not backing down. ⚖️🇹🇷

Very good discussion here of Erdogan's coup and the public reaction—far more sweeping than Erdogan imagined. The US major media blackout on developments in Turkey is puzzling and quite disturbing.
