January 2011
Terribly grouchy today. Need a bed with: gin & tonic on bedside table, Iron & Wine tunes or a decent film playing, and to be snuggled by a warm body and fawned over. I’m disgustingly demanding on moody days. Lol. In lieu of the above, perhaps I will send myself flowers or take a decadent bubble bath with a good book when I get home. I overslept this morning and that pretty much set the...

Dear President Obama:
As political scientists, historians, and researchers in related fields who have studied the Middle East and U.S. foreign policy, we the undersigned believe you have a chance to move beyond rhetoric to support the democratic movement sweeping over Egypt. As citizens, we…

WWP: Long live the Egyptian revolution!
U.S. hands off North Africa and the Middle East!
Tunisia’s people have shaken North Africa. Yemen’s people have shaken the Arabian Peninsula. Egypt’s people are shaking the world. From Jordan and Palestine to Algeria, the peoples of the Arab world have been the first to rise up during the most severe economic crisis since...

The courage of journalism can be incredible. I’ve read one story of one reporter being beaten by police. If this is true (I’m currently still getting live stream), it is an outrage. “We call on the Egyptian authorities to preserve the media’s right to report freely,” said Ayman Gaballah, a senior Al Jazeera official. “No restrictions or limitations should be...

Dear fatima Tumblr, Thirty years of repression is spilling out onto the streets of Egypt in the forms of tear-gas, blood and bitter demonstrations. For four days, Egyptian protestors have suffered at the hands of President Mubarak’s security forces. At least 14 protestors have been killed and scores more have been injured. The crackdown on freedoms is intensifying as...
Fear Extreme Islamists in the Arab World? Blame... →
One of the mantras on US television news all day Friday was: Be fearful of the democratic uprisings against US allies in Egypt (and Tunisia and elsewhere). After all, we were told by Fox News and CNN and Chris Matthews on MSNBC, it could end up as bad as when “our ally” in Iran was overthrown and the extremists came to power in 1979.
Such talk comes easy in US media where Egyptian ...

The people of Egypt are standing up →
Every progressive here has reason to be excited by the developments in Egypt. The courage displayed by the Egyptian people commands our respect. We need to insist that all aid be cut off to the reactionary Mubarak regime and keep our eyes open for any Western attempts to put new puppets in power.
Great things are happening in the Middle East. Time is never on the side of an oppressor. The...
