    Welcome to the experience of Black immigrants who are always erased 🥲

    My dear reporter friends, if you are going to interview several people about the possibilities of a path to citizenship for millions, how hard is it to find one of those millions of people & include them in your piece? We have voices, you know. We can speak for ourselves.

    Thank you for this. I hope people take the time to read Bell’s “Faces at the Bottom of the Well.” It’s an important, provocative and powerful read & changed my perspective on so much.

    One of the most frustrating aspects of the lies being spread about critical race theory was the defaming of Derrick Bell, a founder of the field who risked his life fighting segregation in Mississippi. I wrote about his life, his work & his legacy here:

    This.

    Just because they're smiling, doesn't mean they're not struggling. Some of the people with the most difficult trials amongst us conceal them for different reasons. Try to be charitable to all around you so that, if anything, you unknowingly help rather than cause further injury.

    My heart. 😢 is there a way we can help grandparents support these babies?

    Heartbreaking—5 kids are now orphaned after both mom+dad (age 37/39) dies of weeks apart. The baby was born by C-section while mom was on a ventilator, doesn’t even have a name yet.😢 Grandparents haven’t told the kids parents died yet.

    20 years passed. $21 trillion wasted. 900,000+ lives lost. We have had enough. In the wake of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, we must come face to face with the US war machine and seize this moment to uplift the call to .

    A great piece about how 9/11 started Robert Saleh’s journey from Dearborn, MI to the head coach of the NY Jets 20 years later. A proud day for his brother and the Saleh family, and the entire city of Dearborn, MI.

    The guy isn’t playing some sort of complex chess like his apologists want to pretend. Instead, our children’s future is being held hostage by a dude who has no clue what he’s even talking about.

    Two weeks ago, we bombed a residential block and murdered seven children. Any 9/11 reflection must include reckoning with how we still justify atrocity by a cruel and twisted calculus pioneered in its aftermath.

    There was no ‘right’ country to invade on 9/11. The response to a criminal attack by non-state actors shouldn’t have been a war or an invasion or an occupation. It should have been police work, special ops, diplomacy, humanitarian aid, peace in MidEast… none of which was done.

    Shakila Yasmin & Nurul Haque Miah were Bangladeshi immigrants who worked in the same office at the World Trade Center. They are believed to be the only married couple who died together in the attacks. Ovington Avenue at 3rd Ave in is named in their honor.

    If you support Tulsi, you are no better than the racist/fascists you claim to be against.

    In the 20 years since 9/11, the GOP went from leading the "war on terror" to defending the Jan 6 MAGA terrorists. And despicably the same GOPers who demonized Muslims over terrorism now defend the white MAGA terrorists. My new op-ed:

    My god. The chief medical officer at Rikers - the highest ranking doctor - has resorted to whistleblowing and going public about the crisis there. That’s how bad it is.

    20 years later, some things never change.

    Twenty years seems like a long time to some but for those who lost loved ones, it seems like yesterday. You never forget them, you still feel them around you. I remember a dear Yemeni American friend who lost her brother that day. He’s still very much alive in their hearts.
