    I was 14 when Mubarak became president - he was vice president to the assassinated Anwar Sadat - and 44 when Mubarak was forced to step down after revolution. I was a Reuters correspondent in Cairo from 1993-1998 and covered Mubarak extensively. Some memories to follow

    This is what family looks like in times of adversity.

    Around 11:40 today arrived to state security prosecution building in Tagamo'. She saw us from the vehicle, called for us. And we saw her fleetingly as she stepped out of it. She looked well, she smiled and shouted "I'm well"

    Fuck off you homophobic piece of shit. The revolution and anything good that brought will fail because of bigots and hateful shits like you. There is no freedom unless we are ALL free.

    I’m pretty sure when Mubarak deployed the military against protestors in Tahrir Square during revolution, the NYT reported on it in a critical way. And here is that same NYT publishing a senator supporting Trump’s call to deploy the military. Dangerous and shameful

    Egypt flashbacks. I hope the story doesn’t have the same ending.

    The National Guard in Tennessee put down their shields and stood with protesters. 💗🇺🇸💙

    June 6 is the 10th anniversary of the beating to death of Khaled Said at the hands of Egyptian police. He was 28. His death sparked the creation of the famous FB page "We are all Khaled Said" and a revolution.

    Resist and refuse words like “chaos” and “riot” about people demanding justice and an end to oppression. During one of my CNN appearances in the early days of revolution, I insisted they stop using “Chaos in Egypt” as a chyron. They changed it to “Uprising in Egypt.”

    And the parallels between Egypt 2011 and USA 2020 keeps coming!...

    Trump propagating this reminds us of how ’s government tried to portray Khaled Said, whose death sparked the Egyptian revolution, as a bad (drugs) person to distract ppl from his brutal torture & murder by the police. Trump = Brutal dictators.

    Every revolution must write its own narrative. As an , when I see police thuggery & I hear a journalist lost vision in one eye after police shot her & about curfews & coroner’s report on : it’s a familiar story
