evanchill Chants still come from Tahrir Square, though the crowd has dwindled a bit. It started to drizzle tonight, but people are camped out. #jan25

evanchill If Noor is really down, the joke that we are the last people tweeting in Egypt might get closer to the truth. #jan25

4. I can't describe how in awe I am of the Egyptian people, and the
people of the world reaching out to help them get their message out!

2. this gives me goosebumps
inzilbeth666 ‎ RT @Dima_Khatib: Tahrir Square is breathing revolution. More than 250 thousand people are said to be there now, at 1.30am local time #egypt #jan25 #cairo
Twitter - 2 minutes ago


(I can only imagine 250,000 exhausted, tired, hungry determined people, in Tahrir Square, waiting for the morning, and the dawn of a new country. The air must be electrified. I haven't seen anything this amazing, ever, and I am very old! The Egyptian people have used everything that Gandhi, MLK, and Mandela have taught us about resistance. They honed it, polished it, and are showing it is a more potent and dangerous weapon than the atomic bomb.)

3. Waiting for the million man march tomorrow! I've posted before
that this is the first time in decades these people are feeling hope! It gives me goosebumps, too -- I can't get enough!

I'm not sure any of us have seen anything like this, and we are essentially right there with them as it happens! Humbling and inspirational.
