MAGAs: Why won’t Muslims just assimilate to our country!?! Muslims: [Get elected to office] MAGAs: …Wait not like that
The ink has barely dried on Mamdani’s historic victory & already the coordinated Islamophobia machine is in overdrive. If you thought post-9/11 or the 2011 “Shariah law scare” were the peak of anti-Muslim hysteria, I regret to inform you, its about to get worse:
WARNING: Anti-Muslim Hate & Islamophobia Is Skyrocketing
Zohran Mamdani's primary election win has unleashed anti-Muslim hate—and we need to be ready to fight back with justice
A reminder that it was never about following the law and being documented—it was always about banning non-white immigration, period. Elon Musk, an white undocumented immigrant, can destroy the Govt & he's praised. A brown immigrant and US citizen can get elected to NYC Mayor & he's a danger. smh image
The Democratic machine threw everything they had—billionaire endorsements, NYT op-eds, a deluge of corporate cash, and the full weight of washed-up politicians like Andrew Cuomo, Bill Clinton, and Michael Bloomberg—at Zohran Mamdani. And he still won. Big. They can either learn from him and become the party for working people, or continue to suffer at 26% approval rating. Here's what Mamdani's win can mean for American politics:
Mamdani Wins With the Many Over the Money
What Zohran Mamdani’s Win Means for the Democratic Party—and the Country
How can you defend Iran with stories like this of a woman 5 months pregnant, arrested on suspicion of a civil violation, forced to sleep in shackles on a dungeon floor with cockroaches, denied access to reproductive healthcare, & suffered a stillbirth, which she was forced to deliver in front of prison guards. Horrific. WAIT. Did I say Iran? I meant this happened in Louisiana this week to Iris Dayana Monterroso-Lemus, whose fiancee is a US citizen and she had no criminal record. #ThisIsAmerica
A reminder that while Netanyahu was bombing Iran, and while Trump was bombing Iran, not only did Iran never have a nuclear weapon, but the Israeli Govt is still committing genocide of Palestinians, taking Gaza by forced occupation (a war crime), and a new Harvard study shows per the Israeli military itself at least 377,000 Palestinians are dead or missing. Continue to raise your voice. Do not be silent to this ongoing genocide perpetuated every day by war criminals. Silence is complicity.
If you still don't see the danger of SCOTUS letting Trump deny people due process of law & instead arbitrarily deport them to third countries without regard to their health, safety, or prison conditions in that third country—then you still don't understand why Hitler built camps in third countries.
Mahmoud Khalil peacefully protests genocide of Palestinians •Trump: ANTISEMITISM—THROW HIM IN PRISON! Rümeysa Öztürk writes OpEd condemning genocide of Palestinians •Trump: ANTISEMITISM—THROW HER IN PRISON! UF Law student & self-described Nazi Preston Damsky writes paper arguing US Constitution only applies to whites, & Jews should be “abolished” •Trump: SILENCE •Trump Judge John Badalamenti awards Damsky the Book prize AND highest class grade AND Florida Law school defends it as “free speech”
Today in particular I’m just so glad Merrick Garland prioritized “norms” over the U.S. constitution, our republic, and any hope of saving our democracy. Otherwise we might have run the risk of a functioning government. I hope Garland knows that—along with Mitch—cowardice will always be his legacy.
BREAKING: Trump has announced that moments ago the United States has attacked 3 nuclear sites in Iran, specifically Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. The vile hypocrisy of this fascist to break the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 despite Iran’s compliance, and now to attack Iran without reason in 2025. This is 2003 Iraq WMDs all over again and countless innocent people will pay the price for these absurd lies.
