Pretty intense Twitter feed right now.

Live from Syria.

Some tweets:

If you are Media please tell the world what's happening now in #Homs. This is a full scale war! #Syria

VERY HEAVY SHELLING BY MORTARS RIGHT NOW! #Homs

This is a massive attack! PLEASE WORLD, OPEN YOUR EYES! #Homs #Syria

By population percentage, the 200 civilians reported killed by the Syrian gov't yesterday in #Homs is equivalent to American deaths on 9/11.

My city is bleeding. We're being attacked since 8 pm. 5 hours, 230 dead, 800 injured. #homs #syria

Right Now. Assad's security forces celebrating the Russian and Chinese vetos by shooting randomly in my neighborhood. #Syria #Homs
