It is not only embarrassing. It is a lie to justify Israel's continuation of the genocide and in support of Israel's starvation policy - no different then the lies coming from the US administration.

رأينا قبل أسابيع قليلة كيف خرج المعتقلون من سجون الأسد بعد رحيله. وأي إنسان سويّ لا يبكي فرحة لرفع الظلم، وحرية الناس وكرامتهم. بالعدل والرحمة واحترام حقوق الإنسان وحدهم يمكن لمصر أن تجد طرقاً شتى لمستقبل أفضل، والظُلم يُغلق كل طريق. ولنكن متسقين في رفض الظلم في كل مكان. وليس فقط حين يقع علينا.

ليلى سويف مثل آلاف الأمهات والزوجات والأباء والإخوة الذين احترقت قلوبهم ألما على سجن أحبائهم، ملف المعتقلين هو أكثر الملفات إلحاحا في مصر الآن. في علوم الاجتماع قالوا إن الظُلم مُؤذن بخراب العمران، وفي النسق الديني - ويُفترض أن رجال السلطة مؤمنون به فإن الله لا يُفلح عمل الظالمين. جربُوا العدل ولو مرة.

ليلى سويف، الأم، والإنسانة ذات الضمير والعلم، بين الحياة والموت في المشفى. إن كان للرئيس السيسي رغبة حقيقية في إصلاح سياسي، فإن ملف معتقلي الرأي والضمير هو واجب الوقت وطال أوانه. علاء سُجن نحو ١٠ سنوات، ولو كان في نظر السيسي اقترف جرما، أليس ذلك عقابا قاسيا؟ الرحمة

Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.

And here’s the crucial part: Trump and Musk aren’t outside this system, strategically exploiting it. They’re inside it, just like everyone else. They aren’t masterminds - they are products of the same information disorder that is warping public perception.

Lippmann warned that democracy only works if the public has access to accurate information. But today, people don’t just lack good information - they actively reject it in favour of what fits their worldview, because their entire information ecosystem reinforces those beliefs.

It was thirteen years ago today that my dear friend and colleague #MarieColvin was murdered by the Assad regime while on assignment in Syria. Myself, Edith Bouvier and Wa’el were all badly wounded. Remembering them and all the people of #Homs who looked after us and helped in our escape 🙏

#OtD 22 Feb 1943 three German White Rose activists, Christoph Probst, Hans and Sophie Scholl, were executed by guillotine for urging the overthrow of the Nazi government. As the blade fell, Hans called out "Let freedom live!" More on anti-Nazi youth: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/72-edelwe...
