Our waters and air are polluted and we barely have any public spaces left. This government has been one long environmental disaster for the past three decades. It arguably did as much damage, if not more, than were done during the civil war.

"Today I cried 3 times, when I saw: people coming in larger numbers, and the family of friends that died carry their photos & walk w/ us, & the crackdown on ppl in Nabatiyeh. How can we feel hope, fear, anger, longing, love & helplessness on the same day?"https://twitter.com/SpiderFromMarx/status/1187053356247912448?s=19 …

Aoun to speak tomorrow at noon. Unlikely to be even remotely connected to reality

Speaking of the president, his followers have been chanting "Aoun wBass" and intimidating people with guns while surrounded by the army and this soldier is telling witnesses not to film. https://twitter.com/tamararasamny/status/1187107539424550913?s=19 …

Forgot to point out the obvious: The *president* of Lebanon hasn't said a single thing in eight days of protests. His silence alone speaks volume and I don't see what he can say - other than his resignation - that might calm us down.https://twitter.com/tamararasamny/status/1187113258735423489?s=19 …

Good news? This shows that Hezbollah is actually struggling to maintain its image as the revolutionary upheaval persists in including Nasrallah among the corrupt warlord-oligarch class.

They've started their disinformation campaigns and now the question is whether we will believe them. For now, it looks like enough people stopped caring what the government has to say. https://twitter.com/LeShaque/status/1187080908089810944?s=19 …

So multiple people have now said that their wifi is slower than usual (and remember, this is Lebanese internet), mine included. I don't know if it's just a coincidence/technical issue or whether there's some gov hand behind it.

4g looks decent but we have all limited data so sharing or uploading stuff to keep everyone informed can become difficult. I cannot stress how important it is that the flow of information is maintained.

What I do know is that if they actually shut it down or disturb it, it will makes things more difficult. The only way around it that I can think of is if we all agree to be in the main squares every single day regardless. I think/hope that that's already happening.

In Hasbaya, one of the protesters who's been on the street for eight days said that he will continue until the sectarian regime falls.

Aoun supporters: he is everyone's president regardless of sect Also Aoun supporters: the Free Patriotic Movement will go to support Aoun's speech because we know he's our leader and ours alone.

Nabatiyeh protest getting bigger by the minute, defying Shabbiha repression of the past few days. An elderly woman saying that she will stay on the streets and keep the roads closed.

Oh by the way, it's 12:08. Aoun is late. The president has been silent for eight days and he's even late now. His supporters only have Lebanese flags, because having FPM flags is quite bad optics at the moment.

One man in Nabatiyeh rejecting the government's plan to privatise telecommunication, saying it should be nationalised and the revenues used for public services. He is, of course, right.

A woman in Nabatiyeh saying they are the resistance and rejecting the conspiracy theories that they're being paid by the West (the usual conspiracy theories). She is calling for the fall of the regime.

Another man in Nabatiyeh making it clear that revolutionaries reject every attempt by the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb to pretend they're on our side.
