https://t.co/XTrszk1sOb @gofundme In memory of my older brother, my family and I are working to raise money for a special education residential home for kids like Youssef in Egypt. Every dollar and repost matters. Please donate whatever you can and help spread the word :)
@ChrisNickson2 wrote a “book” on “world music” for @nprmusic. Enjoy this incredibly blatant racist and orientalist sentence: “As there’s not a deep Palestinian heritage, there’s no real Palestinian music as such”
"'When I learned that you can sing about anything happening in your life...I came to really love rock music... In Egypt, I thought you could only sing songs that were poetic and romantic." From @ibrahimrsara's article on @Cairokee for @RollingStone. https://t.co/RstgxXgVJy
@ibrahimrsara@RollingStone I'm grateful to see such an article published in @Rollingstone, thank you. I'm a fan of many of these artists and believe this #Arabizi scene is on the rise. I hope to see them start gaining entry into @RecordingAcad@BRITAwards as you wrote "this music is for us"
My debut @RollingStone story! This story is for my fellow diaspora kids. All of us. This music is for us, this genre is for us— this story is yours. I hope it resonates with you❤️🔥

For @TeenVogue, I wrote about why we have to understand what just happened in France in terms of race. In the words of James Baldwin in 1970: “The Algerian in France is the n***** in America.” https://t.co/dS82S7xYYq
Hold on a minute, @piersmorgan. There's been 75 years of "murderous, indiscriminate ... terror attacks" by Israel against the Palestinian people.
I haven't noticed you calling out the daily "horrifying and appalling scenes" perpetrated by the Zionist entity.
What is happening in occupied Palestine is a response to weeks and months and years of daily Israeli military invasions into Palestinian towns, killings of Palestinians, and the very fact that millions of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are besieged under Israeli blockade.
I want to remind everyone that “pretty for an Egyptian” or “you’re pretty enough to be [another regional ethnicity]” is not a compliment to give to Egyptian women.
