The woman on TikTok calling the mosques and asking if they’d help her with formula and 100% of them asking nothing but what kind do you want and where are you is the Muslim I am, the Muslim I know. And it really makes the hate that much more unmooring.

The man is sleeping during press conferences and meetings. He is going to the hospital and not divulging what's happening. He is continuing to post in unhinged ways. He's 1000% UNFIT to work anywhere. Who would hire an 80 year old man who was displaying this kind of behavior for ANY job at all?

This false flag stuff is the perfect example of how poisoned the well has become. I shudder to imagine what the discourse will look like following an incident like the Tree of Life shooting.

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

"the idea that Mamdani should be feared by voters because he is Muslim, & because of his position on Palestine, is not only acceptable in media coverage & political discourse, but pervades it. There is no similar questioning as to whether Cuomo, who is literally providing support for a war criminal

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

Oh one more thing I just remembered. They tried to get me to take out the line about how Cuomo is never asked to condemn genocide because *actually* they found evidence he has been asked that. The evidence? A hill article of the one time he has been asked to *recognize* the genocide.
I am so upset.
Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
