   Please encourage all US citizens to call the White House comment line and request that the US make a strong stand in support of the protestors 202 456 1111. Also, write email to your representatives. Feel free to use the letter (in part or full) I wrote to my congressman and posted on my blog http://littleparticulars.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/dear-congressman/

   Cheers,
   Kelly

    BBC are collating tweets, AP, Reuters etc on live feed. erring on the side of caution.

    The website of the Brotherhood is also a good source to find out what’s going on:

    They are far deeper connected in distant cities than most media.

    Here’s a list I’ve created of 37 people who are still managing to tweet from Egypt: http://bit.ly/hCzkUu

    Oh, and also here’s some more twitter streams.
    @HosniMobarak – for an amusing parody break.
    @justimage – another journalist (Matthew Cassell of electronicintifada.net) tweeting from Cairo.
    @avinunu – Abunimah, of electronicintifada.net as well — though not tweeting live from Cairo, is RTing several people who are and is a good gateway to lots of news articles and analyses.

    Facebook Groups in English: Operation Egypt, Anonymous News Network, Vodafone Global Boycot And Protest, and http://www.facebook.com/aljazeera if you can’t just watch their live stream in the background at http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/

    I’d also recommend leaving messages and links to what you find at “The White House” on Facebook. Consider it a virtual sit-in…especially for people who don’t have an Egyptian Embassy nearby to protest at. You can “Like” Joe Biden briefly to leave him a pointed message, but then please un-like him…he’s too much of a tool.

    http://www.facebook.com/#!/elshaheeed.co.uk

    Site of an anonymous blogger from inside Egypt, who is credited with being a driving force in the protests.
