I experienced an anti-Arab hate incident on the steps of City Hall in San Francisco today; during the Board of Supervisors meeting in which Arab American Heritage Month was recognized.
I’m sharing my experience & recommendations on what to do if this happens to you.

In my latest, I explore how @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social fully embodied his identity while pursuing his agenda of affordability for New York’s working class communities, & why that’s so important for him as a “first” - the first Muslim + South Asian - to serve as Mayor of New York City.

"I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”
Gaines never talks about her teammates who were raped by her coach that she supported.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Greg Abbot called CAIR, the largest Muslim civil rights organization, a “terrorist organization” and said Muslims are a “threat to our freedom.”
The normalization of anti-Muslim hate speech is vile.
This bigot should have no place in elected office.

Two years into Israel's genocide in Gaza, the anti-Palestinian racism that has been accepted and normalized in Zionist circles is now an actual political liability in San Francisco.
Case in point: Manny Yekutiel and the District 8 Supervisor race.

Co-sign. The fact that Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza is not just an opinion. It's the conclusion of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Genocide Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, the UN, and many others.

Never forget that Christine Pelosi antagonized protestors as they bravely called for a ceasefire at the CADEM convention in November 2023.

Republicans telling Democrats they need to be centrist is a massive warning sign about centrism & incrementalism.
Democrats should not let Republicans set their agenda. They tried it in the 2024 election & it failed miserably in addition to being a moral & ethical blunder.

The moderate position for the last 5 years: it’s okay to have thousands of deaths if corporate profits are up, it’s okay to have genocide if Israel is happy, it’s okay to have ICE separating families as long as they don’t use tear gas, it’s okay to cut healthcare as long as I don’t work weekends…

“Moderate” and centrist Democrats should not be setting the agenda for the Democratic Party.
Centrism is not going to be a winning message or platform in 2026 or 2028.
People want change; not the status quo.

Most of y’all are old enough to remember but it bears repeating, Democrats couldn’t peel off a single member of the Republican caucus in the initial fight to enact the ACA, even after they watered down the plans to attract them.
Republicans got 8 Democrats in what’s essentially a vote to repeal.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

The number of ordinary Americans who’ve put their bodies on the line to protect neighbors from ICE, donated money and food to support neighbors who’d otherwise go hungry, and marched and mobilized because of the urgency of this moment is unfortunately being met with lukewarm representation.

The last thing I did before departing NYC was go check out the ‘Niyū Yūrk’ exhibit at the New York Public Library which chronicles the arrival of Middle Eastern & North African (MENA or SWANA) communities in New York City.
Highly recommend! The exhibit runs through March 2026.

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.
