«…my messages to her struck a tone of hope — that I would one day write stories about Muthana returning to the US to face charges instead of write about her and her child dying by starvation, or airstrike, or murder at the hands of the group she had once so willingly joined.»

Interesting. I just read the first story. Lotta background covered, apparently effortlessly.

Crazy that this is how the insurance industry measures whether you want something bad enough.

My treatment in the aftermath of a brain tumor required a $1700/mo drug. United Healthcare denied it and my doctor would send an appeal letter so I could get it. Every month, this would repeat. We did this deny/appeal cycle for 1yr.

1. There is no greater testament to the work @DSWT does than when orphans who have been reintegrated into the wild bring back their new wild-born babies to meet the men who raised them.

Yatta is a former orphan and she brought her new baby boy YoYo.

This is kinda cool.

«According to the Arab American Institute (AAI), tatreez, the art of embroidery, dates back to the 8th century CE: “When a Palestinian woman wears her thobe, or traditional Palestinian dress, she is displaying her heritage on her sleeves. Palestinian embroidery, or tatreez, is the artwork featured on each woman’s thobe, and the shapes and colors of the tatreez can be read to understand a woman’s background, heritage, and struggle.”»

She looks a little serious, but oh well. 🙂

«“The systems the U.S. relies upon to mobilize, deploy, and sustain forces have been extensively targeted by potential adversaries, and compromised to such as extent that their reliability is questionable,” it says.

In layman’s terms, that means the U.S. Navy, as well as the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, may find they can’t count on all the satellites and other technology they use to navigate, communicate, locate targets and hit them.»
