Our students leading the encampment to divest at SFSU met with university president and provost. (I was there). Small and yet meaningful (and they were inventive and peaceful and well informed) resistance to the complexity of capitalism’s cashing in on oppression. Our university is in process of changing investment policy. Bigger beauty in m mind lives in how these us encampments are spotlighting current and historical and heartbreaking complicity.
That is awesome Nona. I find the student protests in the US to be inspiring and I'm heartbroken that similar movements in Egypt are effectively snuffed it seemed. It takes a lot of courage go and support the students when they are meeting witht the president and provost so good for you!
Fascinating investigative work. I’m eagerly awaiting part 2. As one who works with people seeking refuge from political and gang violence or economic hardship in Latin America, I am intrigued by the question of who gains financially from the hardship and distress of suffering people.
Me too Julee. I find it his story very intigruing as i think in it's essence it speaks to human nature and how power and lack of accountability can so thoroughly corrupt.
Love reading these

I made apple tahini salad for 100 students!!!! My best contribution
Thanks for this nuts and bolts article about the corruption involved in crossing the Rafah border into Egypt. I look forward to reading part 2.
Glad to hear the story is coming through as interesting to people outside my own head. Thanks for reading!
