    in honor of her work, our work, the outlet, and in appreciation for the personal costs incurred by Lina and her colleagues at Mada for publishing stories that cause "good trouble." Instead of practicing our usual role by reporting on this news, we will celebrate it with you.

    Today is book day! Egypt’s Occupation is now available at booksellers everywhere. It’s a very strange time to be launching a first book, but with many of us forced to spend even more time in front of screens, it’s a great time to read an actual book on paper. Please retweet!
