John Lewis’s funeral was in Georgia. Dozens of Members of Congress were there.
Georgia is on Washington DC Mayor Bowser’s list of states that require 2 week mandatory quarantine for 14 days
Are these politicians going into quarantine, or are rules just for the little people?

Your service is commendable but does not immunize you from criticism especially as you inject yourself into the VP lists. You called for a “national dialogue” on whether to tear down Washington monuments....
Does @TuckerCarlson want to walk a mile in my legs and then tell me whether or not I love America?
It is my honor to meet, thank, and encourage Pastor Andrew Brunson. As events in Syria illustrate even now, religious freedom is constantly under attack. God Bless all who defend it. #Ain_Issa #erdoganarmyoutofrojava #Hungary @DaveEubankFBR

Video update from yesterday, Nov. 13, here in NE #Syria. The first step we need to have happen is for a no fly zone to be established here. These daily drone strikes have been absolutely deadly. Numbers of those killed/wounded are included in the update.

Yes, thank you to everyone for your prayers and support! We hope this piece and the videos and reports we’ve shared have helped more people get to know Zau Seng and how amazing he was.
In the past week, there's been an outpouring of love and support for Zau Seng. Here's a look at Zau's life and work along with tributes from those that knew him or were impacted by his legacy. Thank you all for your prayers and support! freeburmarangers.org/2019/11…

Zau Seng (far right), I miss you and love you very much. Thank you for showing me how to live, for putting a light on the world. I will miss you until I see you again in heaven. You are my brother and hero.

The people of northern #Syria will hold a farewell ceremony tomorrow morning for the Thai medic and member of the @FreeBurmaRangrs, who lost his life as a result of the #Turkish bombing near Tal Tamer.
His ashes will later send to his family.
#RIP

Trump's envoy told me Turkey would suffer consequences if it’s proxies attacked beyond Pence-Erdogan "safe zone."
Just another empty threat.
Turkish fighters are attacking with impunity beyond 30km line—but no action from Trump. Senate must hold Erdogan and Trump accountable.

If US congress really means condemning Turkish genocide 104 years ago. And I believe it does, it needs to stop Turkey from taking the Christian town of Tal Tamer in NE Syria where Turkey is about to repeat what it did to the same people 104 yrs ago.
Victims of #Erdogan's ethnic cleansing leave their ancestral homes last night under the cover of darkness to avoid Turkish drone attacks and #freesyrianarmy #terrorists.
If #NATO ally #Erdogan's Turkey can act like it did during the #Armenian and #Assyrian genocide without consequence, would @realDonaldTrump turn a blind eye if NATO ally Germany acted like it did during WWII? Just asking. #TurkeyIsNotOurFriend #SyrianKurds

Tragic Irony
In #SyriaWithdrawal @realDonaldTrump encouraged #sdf to help defeat our #ISIS enemies who didn't have an air force, helicopters and heavy artillery so that he could abandon them to be murdered by #Erdogan and our Turkish "allies" who did.

While @realDonaldTrump says people "conveniently forget that Turkey is a big trading partner of the United States"
Former Kurdish president @masoud_barzani reminds president Trump that "the blood of the Kurds is far more valuable than money and weapons."

Remember this quote if Turkey unilaterally attacks the Kurds in Syria.
"If the fighters belonging to Turkey and the terrorists belonging to Erdogan will be there, they will be fighting for the land. It's not a safe zone, it's a warzone," Sirwan Barzani, 7 Feb 2019 (Al Jazeera)

Dear President Trump, please know that the people of Kurdistan have always pursued their just rights. The Peshmerga have defeated ISIS and are an effective part of the coalition against terror. The blood of the Kurds is far more valuable than money and weapons. Thank you.
