Gov Abbot is designating American Muslims as "terrorists"

Christian nationalists are attacking American Muslims in Florida & Michigan, and burning the Qur'an

Members of Congress—GOP & Dems alike—are demonizing Islam & Muslims

And corporate media is ignoring it😐

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Trump welcomes MBS to the White House today to discuss a new arms deal.

Trump's family also has lucrative ongoing real estate deals with the Saudis.

He'll overlook the murder of Jamal Khashoggi to pad his pockets and boost the bottom line of the military industrial complex.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

The Trump regime has fired an estimated 70 immigration judges since February. This is happening as immigration courts face a record backlog of cases.

Remember: it was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.
“I think most don’t realize how hard it is to immigrate legally to the United States,” says former senior policy official @margyoh.bsky.social. She explains other surprising facts about the immigration system in a wide-ranging new Q&A:

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

War with Venezuela makes no sense.

Unless you’re hoping to take their oil and use the Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
