Muslims are usually thought of as 20th-century immigrants to the US, yet for well over three centuries, African Muslims like Omar were a familiar presence. They had grown up in Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Benin & Nigeria where Islam was known since the 8th century
Tens of thousands of African Muslims spent their lives enslaved in the US, but continued to practice their faith – including giving alms and fasting for Ramadan. https://t.co/Dvod03jQsz
@LiberalHegemony@DirtbagCentrist I’ll take the analysis of an actual congressman from MI instead of a bitter neoliberal supporter of the Democratic Do Nothing establishment
@LiberalHegemony@DirtbagCentrist He achieved something unprecedented in American electoral history, we have never seen a candidate face the odds of $70m in attack ads & a coalescing of the party establishment around his opponent and still coming out on a top, a political star was born tonight
@LiberalHegemony@DirtbagCentrist The mental gymnastics are hilarious, if $70m in outside money can’t win you an election in a landslide then you’re not just a terrible candidate you’re historically abysmal
@chasemanaena@WUTangKids Bcz she ran deceptive ads claiming Obama had endorsed her. What he’s achieved is unprecedented in American political history, he faced down the most corrupt & unyielding lobbying group in history & beat them despite being outspent 11 to 1
The Premier League returns this month.
As a lifelong Red, I’ve written to Liverpool FC about links to six sponsors implicated in Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians. The club has not yet responded.
Liverpool must answer supporters and end complicity in apartheid and genocide.
