this is worth seven minutes of your time. i've never been prouder to give somebody my vote
The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

Gentle reminder to use alt text. It helps users with low vision--and it also helps those without, because if you post images of groups of people, and don't identify them, I may not know who they are, and I'd imagine you would like me to, since you took the time to capture the moment and to share it.
