This is insane on so many levels, not least of which is the security risk.

But considering they're planning strikes in Signal and inviting reporters to their chats, well, nothing really surprised me, anymore.

Francesca Wade’s ‘superb Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife, is the biography of both a woman & a reputation. The biography has been written before, but perhaps never so stylishly; that of the reputation is largely fresh. Both are a pleasure to read.’

The flotilla episode revealed a pattern familiar to #Egyptian activists: silence, then intimidation, then disappearance. “There is an invisible red line that no one can cross,” the spokesperson said. “And that line keeps moving closer every day.”
