1/ Sunday is a good day to sit back with this incredible piece of reporting on Syria from @shane_bauer. In part 2, for example, he meets ISIS wife Samantha Elhassani, subsequently charged with terrorism. Her story is fascinating:

2/ The US government says she willingly provided material support. Samantha says otherwise: motherjones.com/politics/2019/… 
5/ So horrifying
6/ Samantha's family, or at least her sister, tells a third story, one of being raised in a family that also was patriarchal and abusive.
7/ This is only a small part of Samantha's story, in turn just a small part of the magnum opus Shane wrote. Samantha goes on trial next year. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
8/ Start at the beginning, read the whole thing. You won't be sorry: motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
