5 years ago this week, one policy changed the lives of Muslims forever, yet no single agency tracked that impact. I spent the last year collecting the numbers & uncovering the physical, mental & economic toll the ban has taken on hundreds of people. huffpost.com/entry/trump-tr…
"Mamdani visited a head-spinning 135 mosques last week alone. Cuomo, during more than ten years as governor, he had never once made a public visit to a mosque. Writing off the city’s 750,000 Muslims, we now know, is not a politically wise thing to do." nymag.com/intelligencer/…
An aid worker providing psychosocial support spoke of the devastating impact on children: 'Children tell their parents they want to go to heaven, because at least heaven has food.'" bbc.com/news/articles/…
I loved every word of this newyorker.com/news/essay/zoh…
Truly horrific images of children, toddlers, babies- their bodies torn apart by an Israeli bombing whilst waiting for food supplements. Distraught mothers are hugging lifeless small bodies. ‘We’re appalled’ says @unicefchief
We’re appalled by the reported killing in Gaza today of children and women waiting in line for nutritional supplies provided by UNICEF’s partner organization, Project HOPE. The killing of families trying to access life-saving aid is unconscionable.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…
Trying to bring back 2015 rhetoric I see
The conservative movement needs to focus more time, energy, and focus on how Islam is rapidly taking over the west.
NPR's Anas Baba in Gaza faced Israeli military fire, US contractors pointing laser beams at his forehead, crowds with knives fighting for rations, and masked thieves when he sought food from a new group backed by the US and Israel. Listen and read: npr.org/2025/07/06/g-s…
darkening his skin in photos, mocking how he eats with his hands, lengthening his beard in mailers, politicians threatening him (a citizen) with deportation. the list goes on. the racism and Islamophobia spewed at Mamdani is only going to get worse.
This is prominent Palestinian journalist Bayan Abusultan after miraculously survived an Israeli strike on a cafe that, with one of Gaza's last reliable wi-fi connections, is widely known as somewhere journalists gather to work. Early reports indicate 33 civilians were killed.
“My hope is that your son will grow up in a city where he is free to speak,” Mamdani said. It was an undeniably emotional moment — a homecoming for men who had fought hard for what they believed in the face of systems that tried & failed to hold them back. vulture.com/article/ramy-y…
$3.28 for a single banana at the airport should be a federal crime
IDF soldiers in Gaza are being ordered by their commanders to shoot at crowds of Palestinian aid seekers, even when it is clear they pose no threat, @haaretzcom reports. "It's a killing field," one soldier said. "Our form of communication is gunfire." haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
unhinged islamophobia
Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.
🚨I've seen enough 🚨 Shahana Hanif has won re-election to Council District 39, defeating Maya Kornberg.
appreciated Hiba for including me but more importantly for writing about this
I spoke with journalists and editors from across the country about how to effectively cover domestic extremism in the U.S. while also staying safe. Read my latest for @NiemanReports ⬇️ niemanreports.org/covering-extre…

JUST NOW — Mahmoud Khalil arrives in the northeast, greeted by dozens of supporters. He quickly drapes the Palestinian flag over his newborn’s stroller.
