The world watched with anticipation. Many with doubt. Organizers promised one million protesters this morning in Tahrir Square. Yesterday, Egyptians started their pilgrimage to the capital. The government shut down the train service and all forms of public transportation. That didn't stop them. They continued walking and finding alternate means of getting to Cairo. This was the result:
Al Jazeera initially estimated the crowd at two million people. They have since revised it to unknown but "well over one million".
This is what a TRUE DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION looks like:
38, queer, poly, happily married punk and stay at home dad to my five-year-old, Elle. In June of 2009, I was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome, and PTSD a month later. I have been on disability since. In recent months, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia,Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Sjogren's Syndrome, a Chiari malformation, small fiber neuropathy, Type 1 Diabetes, and have a massive benign cyst in my brain. And, to top it all off, I was diagnosed with lupus in March of 2014.
I haven't been writing as often as I would like to lately. Trying to catch up on some lost time. Please forgive me.
I'm an anarchist and an atheist. My political views are too far left to even be considered Democrat. I believe that marriage and health care are fundamental human rights. And don't get me started on people calling themselves "pro-life", and denying education and food stamps to children.
