Plotting The Dream
Announcement: tomorrow is going to be a really interesting day. Keep your eyes open, some stuff is about to hit the fan. Now back to our regular programming. I intended to share more transcripts last week, but as has been happening lately, ran out of time and steam....
California Dreaming
Today I do my first public appearance to speak about Adnan's case and Serial. I'll be at Stanford Law School, a great pleasure for me, but it's not the only reason I'm in California right now. For the past few years I've worked in the field of CVE ("Countering Violent...
Mostly, I’m Kind of Embarrassed for Her
I don't have much to say. Just gonna put this out there. I already posted attorney notes from Bilal's testimony during the grand jury, but in case there's still doubt, I kindly refer your attention to the highlighted portions of this document. Bilal's Waiver...
Realize Real Lies
Two announcements before getting into the substance of this post: First, the fundraising campaign for Adnan is doing well, but can do better! This first phase is online fundraising, after which we will be focusing on local fundraisers. But for anyone who is not...

The Most Wonderful Time
*This post should have gone up at least 48 hours ago because er, its a Christmas post, but I decided to listen to my body and just take a break, man I needed one. So apologies for this belated post, but I figured you'd understand, us being friends and all. A couple...
In three days of fundraising, we've raised over $20,000 for Adnan's legal defense fund. I am incredibly grateful for the kindness and generosity of both friends and strangers, and we've only just begun. If you enjoy my blog, and get something out of it, a request that...
Serial Episode 12: The Beginning of the End
I don't deny I am relieved that Serial is over. Not that it wasn't a tremendous expose on Adnan's case, and the result of so much time and effort by Sarah and her team which I'll always appreciate, and its literally breathed new life into future prospects of...
Serial Episode 11: Much Ado About Nothing
"FITNAH": Arabic word denoting a trial, tribulation, difficulty, chaos, hypocrisy, confusing truth with falsehood, disagreement among people, persecution. Fitnah can be a situation, a thing, and even a person. "RUMOR": A currently circulating story or report of...
