“Every wall has ears.”
In Syria, that meant you could never speak freely. Karam's story is a reminder of what governance looks like when surveillance, speed, and centralization converge.
Polkadot's OpenGov is built as the opposite architecture: no rulers, no admin keys, no silent capture.

#Hibaf23
Almost 300 Leiden University staff and 300 students have signed a letter objecting to the repression of student activism on Palestine. On November 9 university security aggressively shut down a teach in. Students were harassed and followed off campus.

1/ I am thrilled to announce that my research project with the Ethereum Foundation, which focuses on the use of blockchain technology for humanitarian aid and international development, is progressing well. The potential for real, meaningful impact is clear.
When I set out to create #Zendetta, I not only wanted to share my story, but also to create space for others to tell theirs as well.

🚨🚨Dear Twitter -
I want to report a distressing development. Leiden University has decided to cancel a student-organised panel on Palestine. This is a clear affront to free speech and the values of the university.
Please RT to raise awareness about this terrible decision. 1/
Eleven years ago today, I looked up from my window at home in Deir ez-Zor, #Syria and saw a dozen demonstrators shouting for democracy. I ran out to join and document the pro-democracy protests erupting on the streets, along with the lives of the more than 21 million #Syrians.
