I now have @mollycrabapple art from her forthcoming book. It's on something aggressively forgotten: Syria's non-violent, hopeful early days.

Won't tweet the art; you'll have to wait for the book. But this: the Syrian tragedy, still destabilizing the world, didn't have to be.

It's important to not lose that. Not for the sake of accuracy per se, but for the people who put risked so much and lost so much trying.

I've this memory of when people asked us—molly & me—to make sure world doesn't forget this. Haven't written about it yet. Not sure if I can.

But we shouldn't forget that beginning, and hopefully there will be a future when the people who can and should tell their story can do so.

Looking forward to
@marwanhishampen@mollycrabapple's book on life under ISIS. I also now have art from the book! But it's all heartbreak.pic.twitter.com/0FNPl7BfAU

It didn't have to be this way: there are many competing tensions in the region. The ones that offer a sane path forward rarely get any help.
