If a country has:
- highest death toll in the world from a pandemic
- protests in at least 26 cities demanding justice for Black people killed by police
- a president who calls on his armed supporters to confront protesters outside the presidential palace

When’s the revolution?
Revolutions do not happen over night.

In 2010, #Egyptian police beat to death Khaled Said, 28. He was not the 1st Egyptian to be beaten to death. A photo his family shared of his shattered face, teeth missing, lip torn, jaw broken, inspired protests and was a catalyst of #Jan25.
I do not impose any model on Black American friends & comrades. They must determine how to move forward.

As an #Egyptian American, when I hear that a city with a curfew has no police in sight and only protesters out on the streets, I think of Egypt when Mubarak pulled the police

There was and there is nothing “peaceful” about oppression.

When the oppressed and the marginalized rise up, “peace” is demanded *of* them in a way it was never demanded *for* them.

#MinnesotaUprising
There is nothing peaceful about the State’s monopoly over violence which it delegates to police thugs.

There is nothing peaceful about the police killing of #GeorgeFlyod or #BreonnaTaylor or the countless other Black people they have killed.

#MinneapolisUprising
“Violence begets violence” is always flung at the oppressed when they rise up against those oppressing them.

What do centuries of violence against the oppressed beget?

FEMINIST GIANT Dispatch from the Pandemic:

Normal:

- I cut my hair off to cut up my return ticket to “normal.”
- There is no “going back to normal” after a pandemic.
- Refuse to return to the ABNORMAL

🎥 @rerutled
I refuse to “go back to normal.” That is abnormal. I posted this soon after I got a buzzcut last week.
Clamouring to reopen for the “economy” means you’re not seeing those who’ve kept the country open at great risk to themselves and for whom this “economy” does little.
