American Wanderlust

I'm a global citizen, educator, and former union leader; with an academic background in the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. Cities around the world feel like my home. I'm a professional Educator. I believe in Solidarity, wherever I am. Notes from my travels, research, and encounters tend to end up here.

I love Cairo. I loved it before the revolution.  I love it after.  And.  My fucking god.  Really.  REALLY?!  The military is still executing people.  And they have the compassion to care about……

Oakland?!

Personal favorite:  "From Tahrir to Oakland to the USA: One Case, One Goal: Social Justice for All.  FUCK POLICE.“

"Social Justice is a Human Right.  FUCK THE POLICE.”

Ahhh, the general sentiment.

I can’t stop crying.  The Middle East is a magical place.

Horreyah.

“As they vowed earlier this week to do, Egyptian pro-democracy protesters marched from Tahrir square to the U.S. Embassy today to march in support of Occupy Oakland—and against the type of police brutality witnessed in Oakland on Tuesday night, and commonly experienced in Egypt.”


the common humanity of absolutely everyone
