Remembering #Jan25: Days of Rage and Dignity. The Egyptian revolution really isn’t over, but the eighteen days of rallying and demonstrating across Egypt starting on 25 January 2011 that ultimately ousted longtime dictator Mubarak deserve an incredible amount of celebration.
Here is a photographic retrospective of those eighteen days, shot by some of the best. I will never fail to be blown away by the images of the demonstrations in Tahrir.

I can’t believe it’s been a year! What an amazing moment in history.

Mitt Romney earned $21.6 million in 2010 — and paid just 14% in taxes, far less than Newt Gingrich’s 31.7% or Obama’s 26.3%.
In fact, the Romneys paid a higher tax rate to foreign countries, handing over 18 percent on the almost $375,000 that they garnered abroad. The former Massachusetts governor also shelled out almost $3 million to charity, roughly 16 percent of his post-tax haul.
this is ridiculous. my dad makes $70,000 dollars a year, is the most charitable man i know, pays 38% taxes.

The Egyptian people consider America’s claims that it respects democracy and freedom as mere words. US President Obama’s promises, made during his visit to Egypt, have not been fulfilled, and Egyptians want to see more concrete steps in this regard. The discriminatory policies adopted by the US administration toward Muslims make them doubt the seriousness of US intentions with regard to democracy promotion. We had a revolution for change, and US policy should change, too. We have a parliament for the first time that represents the people and not the regime, and religion is a key component in the hearts of the people, who will stand by their Parliament.

He had me all the way until he started talking about religion. Fine critique of US foreign policy, but dangerous implications for the few Coptic Christians in the area.

Unless of course there will be Coptic Christians in the Parliament, which, will either not happen or they will be elected as voiceless puppets and to show how wonderfully thoughtful and diverse they are, aka, not really.
There is a Coptic Christian woman running for Parliament from southern Egypt but she will sadly not win. There is too much money flowing from Saudi to the Salafis and Brotherhood to prevent any Christian from holding a government position.

Fuck you, Relevant. Fuck you in the ear.
God, I am so fucking raging right now.
seriously. fuck relevant magazine. there is so much WRONG about relevant and i have always hated how hard they try to relate to the conservative evangelical church. they always publish “safe” sexist homophobic oppressive material that never tries to really preach the gospel but rather cover up and excuse mainline conservative thought.
enraged.
