America is inherently good and striving always to be better.

Hi there @SusanSarandon, this is my mom, my dad and me on the rail trail in Morgantown, West by God Virginia. Let me tell you what it means to be Muslim in America.

First, your backstory: At an anti-Israel protest in NYC, you just said, "There are a lot of people that are afraid, that are afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”

Let me give you “a taste” of what it “feels like” to be a Muslim in America:

✅🇺🇸 My dad didn’t have to become a second-class indentured servant to one of the many tyrants of Muslim countries that use immigrants from India, like my family, as essential slaves. In 1975, after getting his PhD at Rutgers, he was about to go to Libya — a Muslim country — led by a Muslim, Moammar Qhadafi, to work like a servant with a PhD for a wealthy dictator…but then the phone rang one day and I picked it up…

✅🇺🇸 It was West Virginia University calling, and my dad got a job as an assistant professor of nutrition. He got rejected first for tenure but being Muslim in America meant he got a right like everybody got — his right to appeal and guess what? He won and he became a full professor. That’s what it means to be Muslim in America. You get your full rights, like @DrZuhdiJasser has wished for his family in the Muslim nation of Syria, where a Muslim dictator destroys the lives of Muslims.

✅🇺🇸 My mom? Being Muslim in America meant she got to live FREE with the wind in her hair, like @AlinejadMasih fights for women in the Muslim nation of Iran to be able to enjoy.

✅🇺🇸 And what did living free mean for my mom as a Muslim in America? It meant in 1981 she got to start a business on High Street in downtown Morgantown, called Ain’s International. That is something that @miss9afi wished women could have had the right to do in the Muslim nation of Saudi Arabia. But guess what? That entrepreneurship and financial independence is denied Muslim women in so many Muslim countries.

✅🇺🇸 That summer my mom started her business, I got on a plane at Pittsburgh airport for Tahlequah, Oklahama, and I went away from home at 16 for a National Science Foundation camp — without a male chaperone, a right denied Muslim women and girls in Saudi for so long.

✅🇺🇸 In another “taste” of being Muslim in America? My family got a pathway to citizenship. You think the Muslim dictatorship of Qatar allows a pathway to citizenship for Muslim slaves, servants or Palestinian Muslims? Hell no. The Muslim Al-Thani family just buys citizenship for Muslim soccer stars from countries in Africa to steal World Cup wins. But otherwise it treats non-Qatari Muslims like slaves. America? My family waited, took the test, studied the constitution and we are citizens — hallelujah!

✅🇺🇸 I’m going to fast forward because this is just a “taste” of what it means to be Muslim in America. In 2002, I fled Pakistan with a souvenir that could have gotten me imprisoned or killed: a baby growing inside of me, a wedding ring not upon my hand. Sharia law makes sex out of marriage a crime in Muslim countries like Pakistan. My body? The mullah’s tyranny. And even dare to be atheist like @YasMohammedxx? It’s also a crime punishable by death — in Muslim countries but not in America!

✅🇺🇸 Where do you think I came to give birth to my baby in safety and security, without shame? West by God Virginia in the United States of America — where we enjoy equal rights as Muslim AmeriCANs, not AmeriCANTs.

This is a “taste” of life for a Muslim family in America. Please don’t minimize the experience of Jewish Americans by sanitizing the hell that it is for Muslims living in Muslim countries and vilifying America for the life — and freedoms — she offers Muslims like my family. Go, live like a Muslim woman in a Muslim country.

You will come back to America and kiss the land beneath your feet. 🇺🇸

@libsoftiktok Que the Weiner jokes.

@Viralvid_89 I’m not sure why they didn’t just cite her for no registration and driving without a license.

I just want a political party that doesn’t want to trans my son or send him to fight someone else’s war.

Is that too much to ask?

@newstart_2024 @grok, please list the average lifespan of men and women.

@UtahDemocrats Well shoot! Let’s get the poor buggers back to their homelands and lower their tax burdens.

[Austin Bistline @Enginerd9]

@IlhanMN So much for your dignity @IlhanMN

@RepYassAnsari If people were actually terrified, they wouldn’t be getting in their face constantly.

[Bret Weinstein @BretWeinstein]

We can’t allow Minnesota, or any other “sanctuary” to set national immigration policy. And we can’t surrender Constitutional principles to enforce the law. We are in exactly the bind that was designed for us.

[Austin Bistline @Enginerd9]

@BenMcAdams @grok who is lying in these two posts? Trump or McAdams?

[Austin Bistline @Enginerd9]

I no longer wonder how they ended up with a Somalian that seems to only care about Somalian interests representing them.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

The Minnesota General Strike. This is one place in Minneapolis, but it's happening statewide.

100s of thousands, maybe millions of people striking against fascism. This will be a building block. And it's -24 degrees out there.

[Josh Howerton @howertonjosh]

🧵The ICE propaganda war 🧵

I do not think people realize the degree to which you are in a propaganda war right now with ICE...

[Austin Bistline @Enginerd9]

@allenanalysis Why are they afraid of ICE?

[Austin Bistline @Enginerd9]

@sltrib @elonmusk I wonder if you can buy @sltrib and get them to stop spouting left wing propaganda 🤔

Former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam in 2024 when Democrats first tried to legalize abortion through birth: “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable... Then a discussion would ensue between the physician and the mother [about whether to end the baby’s life.]”

48 hours into Governor Spanberger’s term, Democrats have passed abortion through birth and you will soon be able to deliver a baby in Virginia and then chat about whether or not you’ll let him or her keep breathing.

Good vs. evil and evil is winning in Virginia.

Just finished my taxes.
I owe Somalia $4,300.

[Austin Bistline @Enginerd9]

@SenSanders Yeah, thanks to you liberals opening the border wide open and ignoring immigration laws for 4 years. Yup, that will do it.

[Austin Bistline @Enginerd9]

@realnikohouse @elonmusk For the last pretty much 100,000 years, humans have only been able to keep what they could defend.

@UtahDemocrats Keep rolling over and playing nice while you are conquered.
