Most recently, a dinner conversation between President Trump and his merry band of mobsters has brought us our latest viral Twitter hashtag obsession: #TakeHerOut. Oh, you know this is going to be a good one,…
By imaanasimDuring the 2020 Golden Globes, actress Michelle Williams accepted her award to make a political opinion — confidently going against Ricky Gervais’ request that performers needn’t use this platform to share an opinion as “the public doesn’t care what you think,” since everyone in that room was working with organizations knee-deep in exploitative practices. …
By sarahmohrTo our respected Senators (and dear fellow citizens of the United States and the world): Peace and blessings. First of all, thank you for your devoted service to our country. It is impossible for someone like me to know the challenge of serving our country at the level of government you have achieved. I am…
By As the stakes are raised in the current locking of horns between the U.S. and Iran, a narrative that is often left off the presses is how American interference is the catalyst that brought us to this point. Recently, we saw multiple decades of American military interference in Iraq culminate in an embassy attack a few…
By imaanasimOn the 12th of December, 2019, Britain faced one of its most important elections in history. Given the devastating result, it was apparent this general election was heavily based on Brexit, Britain’s racist tantrum and their equivalent of “Make America Great Again,” rather than any emphasis on the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS), education,…
By Ever since Trump has taken the office, he’s been pulling every string possible to put Iran under as much pressure as he can to get what he wants. The sanctions and threats have been increasing nonstop, growing tighter and tighter around the people in Iran. What has the result been? The government of Iran has…
By sarahmohrA Muslim Girl writer recently stated in a blog post that President Trump is unfit to be president for several reasons. His Islamophobia, and racism, and the fact that he is inciting domestic terrorism. The facts that he is accused, according to PBS, by 16 women of sexual assault, (including a 13-year-old child) as well as…
By MG StaffAh, to wake up to a steaming pile of bigotry and racism in the morning. That’s pretty much our everyday with President Trump in office, especially when he’s using his overactive Twitter account to attack four congresswomen of color. Not straying too far from every racist’s manifesto, Trump suggested that anyone who dares to express…
By The views expressed here are those of the author. It is all over the news. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf, once described as a “firebrand imam” who boldly criticized tyranny, has changed his vision for human society, sold out, and decided to support despotism. His decision to work for the UAE as a peace advisor when they…
By The views expressed here are those of the author. Today, in a country where communities are filled with uncertainty, instability, and the constant fear of deportation, President Trump and his current administration continue to threaten and bully minorities and immigrants. We, as a country, have become divided; at dinner tables, family gatherings, holidays, and at…
By Marwa DiafIt’s time to call Donald Trump exactly what he is: racist, sexist, and an outright fascist. We’ve been seeing his disgusting ideology unfold in front of our very eyes since the minute he announced his candidacy for president, and he hasn’t slowed down since. As if he hasn’t done enough, Trump has taken it a step…
By To say that the past few weeks on Capitol Hill have been anything but insane would be an understatement. The madness all began on Friday, when a war broke out between Nancy Pelosi and ‘The Squad’ (Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib, Pressley, and friends). The battle, of course, brought about conversations around race and racial discrimination, with…
By fazilanaeemiThe opinions expressed in this article are the author’s own. Donald Trump has led Islamophobic rhetoric in the United States since he began his 2016 presidential campaign. From making promises of a Muslim ban and going to the trouble of creating three different versions until one passed, to proposing the idea of a Muslim database…
By imaanasimYesterday, Trump tweeted out an edited video of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comments about 9/11. From Omar’s entire speech, he picked out four decontextualized words—“some people did something”—which he used to further fuel his Islamophobic propaganda and racist agenda. It seems to me that many white, conservative men like Trump are intimidated by strong and powerful…
By SaniyaNeomi Rao is President Donald Trump’s pick to replace Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 12th District of Columbia Circuit.
