Trumpist America is shifting at the speed of light toward totalitarianism. Republican Senator Josh Hawley is tabling legislation for jailing Americans for 20 years if they dare download DeepSeek. Time to rise up to shut totalitarianism down.

Thread of ~45 geolocated SDF drone attacks (mostly) vs SNA on Tishrin Dam front and 5 around the Qaraqozak bridge to the north, btw Jan 8 - 14. See maps below.

Kurds in Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Aleppo say they will protect their neighborhood against any possible attack by HTS jihadists - ANHA
