[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

So @GiGiHadid pledges to donate her earnings from Fall 2022 to relief efforts for occupied Ukrainians *and* occupied Palestinians and then @voguemagazine magazine just erases the Palestinians from its @instagram post on her pledge?

[Sylvia Chan-Malik @schanmalik]

trust it would shock you the amount of shit any woman in her 40s with any sort of family (kids, spouse, elderly parents, folks they care for, etc) and a job is dealing with in a day. like it would blow your mind. 🤯

[Sami Khan @samikhanfilm]

[Kareem Shaheen @kshaheen]

Honestly if you don't use shatafa/bidet you have 0 legs to stand on calling the rest of us uncivilized.

[Lowkey @Lowkey0nline]

If you are basically ok with the idea that your government uses your taxes to kill people, just as long as those being killed don't look like you, then maybe it is you that isn't very civilised.

[Alliance of Documentary Editors @doceditors]

The ADE sent a letter to the leadership of
@sundancefest, @ForkFilms, @weare_thegotham, @xtrfilms & @BerkeleyFilmFdn in support of our Muslim & MENA community, urging them all begin a dialogue about #JihadRehab

[Nadia ghulam @nadiaghulam]

Please read this letter. It’s for you, it’s for us all.

[Samia Khan @SamiaKB]

A brilliant analysis by @brandnewfarihah -#JihadRehab

[Farihah Zaman @brandnewfarihah]

A consideration of perspective, community care, and documentary ethics for @reverse_shot that’s been percolating for a long time but catalyzed by an @sundancefest year that contained both nuanced gems and the patently irresponsible #JihadRehab https://t.co/LQLKWzUvax

[Samia Khan @SamiaKB]

@davidfsutcliffe @magstock @assuss @naushero @Marj @JudeSChehab @jafri_razi @samikhanfilm @ambermfares This is what allyship looks like! So much gratitude

[Samia Khan @SamiaKB]

And you’re ultimately terrified that more policies will be created that position you as inherently suspect. Policies that restrict your freedom and your very humanity

[Samia Khan @SamiaKB]

When images that perpetuate the story that we are dangerous are circulated one of the first things that happens to a viewer like me is that the racial trauma that lives in our cells is activated. Then we’re gripped by a looming fear of what could happen next #JihadRehab

[Samia Khan @SamiaKB]

And what could happen next is anxiety, fear for your safety or the safety of your community, fear that your kids will be treated differently by their friends

[David Felix Sutcliffe @davidfsutcliffe]

Stunned that a mediocre film like #JihadRehab is the sinking ship @sundancefest is determined to cling to. Why? Thank you Brenda and @thatkarimahmad for your work, and for making a choice you should never have been faced with. Devastating.

[Samia Khan @SamiaKB]

Thanks to @DocProducers for its astute observations of our criticism and the recognition of what is often the invisible labor of organizing and offering feedback of our lives expertise #JihadRehab

[David Felix Sutcliffe @davidfsutcliffe]

Dear @sundancefest: We are writing this letter in support of our Muslim and MENA colleagues in the documentary community who have raised concerns about #JihadRehab. Please engage in meaningful dialogue. Signed @DocProducers https://t.co/eQyb7TjYVq
