Out today - Counterrevolution in Egypt: Sisi's New Republic by Hossam el-Hamalawy @barracks.substack.com "Hamalawy has produced an instant classic." - Laleh Khalili

Israel’s vicious attack on Lebanon emerged as the biggest threat to the Iran ceasefire. That might be intentional.

Trump’s budget request to Congress contains the largest counterterrorism spending increase in years — and buried inside it is a new FBI-led center dedicated to “proactively” hunting Americans the government classifies as so-called domestic terrorists.

This is incredible. Over 500 sociologists & counting have committed to BOYCOTTING the annual American Sociological Association meeting if BDS is not put back on the ballot. We reject the Palestine exception! Let the people vote!

Wonderful news

True solidarity is based on people power and must, above all, be accountable to Palestinians……..Palestinian liberation and an end to the genocide in Gaza will require the continuation and escalation of this solidarity across the globe.

@truthout.org published this today, and it took me so much thinking. Egypt Has Leverage Against Israel. Why Doesn’t Sisi Use It? truthout.org/articles/egy...

I am honored by this recognition, it is more meaningful than any academic award, coming from the community and the @arabamericanmuseum.org.web.brid.gy

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

Today marks day 66 of Dr. Laila Soueif’s hunger strike; Soueif is resisting with her life the Egyptian regime’s unlawful detention of her son @alaa beyond his five year sentence, which ended on September 29. Soueif’s health is in danger. 1/3

Today marks day 64 of Dr. Laila Souif's hunger strike and day 1 of our consecutive one-day hunger strikes in solidarity with her. I'm participating in a 24-hour hunger strike in solidarity with Laila. You can join: tally.so/r/3x0gWv #FreeAlaa ‎#الحرية_لعلاء_عبد_الفتاح #DcForAlaa

The mother of Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah, Dr. Laila Soueif, has been on hunger strike since September 30 when authorities failed to release Alaa despite the completion of his prison term. Folks in DC will join her in solidarity by selecting a 24-hr period between December 2 and 7.

Today marks day 60 of Laila Soueif's hunger strike and day 20 of our consecutive one-day hunger strikes in solidarity with her. Today I start a 24-hour hunger strike in solidarity with Laila, a 68-year-old Math professor and one of the revolutionary icons of Egypt’s left. 🧵
