    On Monday, February 6, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake (followed by another earthquake of 7.5 magnitude) struck southern Türkiye and northwest Syria in the early hours of the morning. Tempest Collective member Shireen Akram-Boshar explains that this tragedy is fundamentally political, affected by the fault lines of counterrevolution, authoritarianism, racism, and capitalism.
