For years I reported about enforced disappearances in #Syria … the missing … the suffering of their families. Today I was in #Sednaya prison watching the families hang on to false hope. I saw the execution room. Unimaginable horrors. I can’t sleep youtu.be/YqeTeD8jxsc?si…

Some #goodnews out of #NM this week. Freshman college enrollment is up 10% from last year, now higher than pre-pandemic in 2019. Meanwhile enrollment is down 5% nationwide. NM Higher Ed Sec says it’s bc of tuition-free college Opportunity Scholarship. kunm.org/local-news/202…
