Just noticed today is my 3 year anniversary of being on Mastodon. It's been a great ride and I appreciate this amazing, thoughtful, and kind community.
Much love to all of you! Thank you!
Since the “ceasefire,” the Israeli military has killed more than 100 Palestinians, including a 9 year old Palestinian child in the West Bank, by shooting him in the head. Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s renewed strike in Gaza killed 104 Palestinians, including 46 children.
Here are the two reasons Netanyahu is continuing this genocide.
It is the moral, ethical, and yes legally right for Democratic States and Cities to engage in Soft Secession by withholding federal taxes—and instead spend those funds on their own residents.
This would not violate the Supremacy Clause, has immense precedent in American history, and the time to act is NOW. The real question is given the Federal government's complete failure—what are Democratic leaders waiting for?
So, there is a "Muslims Against Mamdani" coalition that appears to be 4 old men who don't have much going on in their lives.
Still, they appear to be Cuomo backed, and their bizarre clips are doing numbers. Therefore, as a Muslim and functioning adult—here's my rebuttal.
After Big Law capitulated to Trump with $100M in free pro bono work, now ABA reports they're having difficulty finding lawyers to rep them because they fear Trump.
UTTER. COWARDS.
This is precisely why I fought back when a chief judge in Florida tried to strip me of my law license for criticizing his court’s ruling to detain a US Citizen. I spent $10K out of pocket to defend myself because this is NOT the time to be a coward:
GOP racists led by Trump spent years on Obama birtherism conspiracies that he was born in Kenya, and therefore couldn't be President.
Now, MAGA racists are calling for Zohran Mamdani to be denaturalized and deported to Uganda, and therefore prevent him from becoming Mayor.
The difference now is Trump is the President, and rather than increasing efforts to combat hate, establishment Dems like Schumer and Gillibrand are complicit with their silence. Disgusting & indefensible cowardice.
In the last month, Washington Post Editorial Board has:
•Called to RE-invade Afghanistan
•Blamed Hamas as Israel kills 100+ Palestinians since "ceasefire"
•Defended Trump destroying the White House
This is what state media looks like. I guess "Democracy Dies in Darkness" was a mission statement.😐
Cancel wash post. I welcome your support instead to keep you informed on critical human rights matters and human rights law based on FACTS:
Billionaire Tim Mellon sent $130M of his $14.1B to fund US military salaries during the Govt shutdown
1. This covers 1/3 of military payroll for 1 day
2. DOD has a $1T budget. $130M is .013% of that
3. Mellon can casually part with $130M—he can be taxed at a 91% marginal tax like during 1940-1980
