      Sit-it now at "Zaitunay Bay," where its developer pays just $1.60 per sq m per year, and is part of a much larger contested project. To understand the protests along the coast in the coming days, read this by @habib_b: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/mar/17/rem-koolhaas-dalieh-beirut-shore-coast … V for Vendetta screening tonight.pic.twitter.com/tn8lbK3TXI

          Wrapping up the night w the nun who threatened her students w/ expulsion for striking & the incredible pushback received. The revolution made it possible to push back agst her authority & empowered students to assert their rights. Unheard of during my time. Power to the students!pic.twitter.com/BZFtDmODBJ
