Between Meta /CrowdTangle doing... whatever it's doing, and Twitter under new ownership, academics stand to lose a lot of access to the data we relied on to study/understand social media. 1/

So for Alaa Abd El Fattah, my beautiful amazing brother, there is no choice to be made, he moves forward knowing he has already won his battle irrespective of what will be written on its last page
#FreeAlaa #FreeThemAll #Cop27 #Egypt

It's likely that, unless freed, one of the most prominent voices of the Arab Spring, British-Egyptian Alaa Abd El Fattah will die in prison during #Cop27 , while world leaders including Biden are in Egypt, after a brutal imprisonment for almost a decade.

He didn't even get a consular visit.

Facebook is the world’s disinformation machine. Its algorithm is designed to drive us apart. It threatens the very fabric of our democracy. It acts with impunity, and it’s accountable to no one.

#FreeAlaa and all political prisoners

Tory MP doxing refugees hotel location 48hrs after suicide bombing of concentration camp. BBC giving Farage a soapbox. Home Secretary using language of invaders. This is a coordinated campaign of race hate. Make no mistake flames are being fanned.

Decent he's and right to work for asylum seekers, now!

Grateful to be part of the #MakingAFeministInternet convening by APC. I've already met so many fantastic activists (incl researchers, journalists, artists, tech) & learned more about the feminist principles of the internet ( #FPI ).

Useful prep for the #CSW67 !

The book market has been crying out for the inspirational story of a man who discharged hospital patients into care homes without covid tests and then got fired for shagging

I guess he is going to make them all face their truth
Egypt MFA Spokesperson James Cleverly🇬🇧 UK Prime Minister
We couldn't have asked @Alaa for more. He endured 9 years of Abdelfattah Elsisi sending messages over Alaa's own body. 9 years of all #Egypt institutions trying to shut his mind and voice

The illegals wear Saville Row suits. Disease ridden concentration camps in the UK are run by millionaires with Tory Peers on the board. The company Mitie also got some of those criminal Covid contracts that Tory MPs gave to their mates. Applying for asylum is a human right.

Britain's concentration camps for asylum-seekers are dangerously overcrowded and rife with disease. Belongings are confiscated and children are caged.

After Brexit British MPs became Irish to retain benefits no longer available to general population. #hypocrisy #selfserving
