I am East and West, citizen and refugee. The melting pot is a failed paradigm-maybe more like a tossed salad. I am an international crouton.

Sounds like Trudeau is really — MILKING — the system. Get it? He’s MILKING the system because he’s talking about the dairy industry? Because of cows? That give milk? Am I falling apart? I think I am? Hello? Hello is this thing on? I’m ok I promise. Just need a nap.

To stop the building of Muslim mosques, lawmakers in Slovakia amended a pre-existing law that changed the legal number of practitioners for a religion to gain recognized status (& ability to build houses of worship) from 20,000 to 50,000. Muslims are .4% of the population. "...there are roughly 5,000 Muslims in Slovakia, but not a single mosque. This law restricts the day-to-day life of Slovak Muslims in very harmful and repressive ways..."

There are 18 other registered religions in the country.
Eighteen.

This thread of footage of the violent wind, storm surge and physical damage caused by Typhoon Manghkut is absolutely bonkers. So many day-after-typhoon tweets feature people saying they have to go back to work today. Unbelievable resilience.

Everybody is wrong except for you. Ok. Here’s a suggestion: don’t use a well-known racist caricature. That’s it. That wasn’t hard was it. If you’re still confused google ‘racist caricature’ and then don’t draw that.

Forget everything I’ve said before. I’m ready to admit that the U.K. has a creeping sharia problem. I mean ‘camel’ is written in comic sans. If that isn’t ideological extremism then nothing is.

I was wondering why I had blocked the author of that awful “failed multiculturalism” in the UK piece going around. So I did a little search. This is his analysis of me. And they tell you islamophobia isn’t real. Hell you can shout your bigotry proudly from the rooftops and @WSJ will throw column space at you.

When someone tells me I have to delete a viral tweet because it has a small innacuracy in it. When I’m the first to say happy anniversary and it’s 8pm and he says “oh so you remembered, I was testing you.”

When your Ethiopian friend comes over for coffee but brings her own traditional coffee cooking pot and coffee because she wants to have “real coffee”. If you think Italians are serious coffee drinkers you need to meet Ethiopians. They roast the coffee beans and grind them right before brewing the coffee. Also, they discovered it etc.

Immigrant toddlers ordered to appear in court alone.
Anyone thinks this does anything but result in a trampling of a child’s humanity and make a mockery of the US justice system? Children “are being served w/ notices to appear in court. They are not entitled to an attorney but rather are given a list of legal services organizations that might help them.”

THEY ARE GIVING TODDLERS & CHILDREN A LIST OF LEGAL SERVICES TO *HELP THEM* ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS

Just got off the phone with an Arab American friend with family in a country on the Muslim Ban list. She was broken. “Maybe it’s time to stop fighting. Maybe we just have to accept that America is just another country. There’s nothing special here. This can’t be home.” I wanted to tell her we could never stop fighting, giving in is a win for the bigots & racists. But you know what? They did win. They won big. And even though I will never give up fighting, the uphill battle has become something very different. We now speak different languages.

Can I ask a favor? Read these examples of anti-Muslim bigotry, and imagine that the elected official is talking about me. Because they are. There are "dozens of examples of state and local Republican politicians and officials publicly attacking Islam in 49 states since 2015, typically with impunity, according to a BuzzFeed News analysis." That means they're attacking Muslim Americans. That means Americans.

The authoritarian state will find reasons to revoke the citizenship of naturalized, then native-born citizens. The first part has already begun. When I had my second daughter we had already moved abroad for work as a family, but I stayed behind to give birth on US soil. Everyone told me I was being paranoid, that I was a US citizen so my kids would be. But I'm one generation away from refugee status. Those memories last.
