دايماً بيجيني سؤال في دماغي إيه الحالة النفسية اللي كانت عيشاها سعاد حسني ف الحقيقة او الظروف اللي كانت بتمر بيها وقت تصوير فيلم " موعد على العشاء " مش ممكن كمية الحزن والتعاسة دي تكون تمثيل كمية حزن لا يمكن تكون تمثيل ابداً والفيلم كله طاقته سوداوية جدا 💔😞

I’ve never understood people who are like “oh x person split the ticket and made z win”—mostly because I believe
1) democratic processes should encourage everyone to run, even if “the difference is small” and
2)…
So I think the mentality to blame money in politics and a “long ticket” really denies the larger issue, which is political will and community-building, so that people move as a unit for our collective interests and protect our wins.

People will scream about gulags but walk past a homeless encampment like its furniture. We can't fathom the horrors of capitalism because we’ve been trained to view systemic cruelty as just "the way things are."
Those who replicate carceral philosophies (i.e. anti-dissent/criticism, exclusionary, anti-social, anti-repair) in community cannot stop carceral systems at the state level. Doesn’t matter how many fancy left words they use. Your praxis is your theory.

I do not trust @AbdulElSayed, especially after his warm embrace of genocidal Palestinian-exterminators @KamalaHarris and @BarackObama, but his victory is important in one respect: It was a clear defeat for the Zionism-inspired campaign of extreme Islamophobia and anti-Arab racial and ethnic hatred. That this failed is good.
