Nationwide protests continue to rock Egypt for the 15th day in a row, demanding an end to the Mubarak regime.
Massive crowds, reportedly the largest so far, are now at Tahrir Square, the epicentre of protests in downtown Cairo, where many plan to spend the night. A sit-in also continues in front of the Egyptian Parliament building, where tweeps report that tents are being built. And workers have started to strike.
Also today, professors joined the protests.
Meanwhile, the harassment of the Press continues, as more Egyptian journalists find their voices.
Here's the latest buzz from Twitter:
@alaa: Protest in front of parliament few thousands, tahrir overflowing ppl should join us instead #Jan25

And the comradeship and good feelings continue among the crowds:

Meanwhile, harassment to the Press continues:

@AnasAlaoui: Some egyptian press outlets are experiencing internal revolts and/or resignations. This may be another tipping point. #Egypt #Jan25
And for many, even though they are not at Tahrir, their heart is still there:
@esl4mdiaa: still @ work. Really i care 4 my parents and that's what prevents me not to go to #Tahrir , I really wanna go :( #fb #jan25

And those there never fail to remind them:

@asamir: To all my dear freinds who did not go to Tahrir sq. Yet: you are missing alot.
