My latest piece that I wrote while I was experiencing the sandstorms in Iraq a few weeks ago.

It's crucial that the Iraqi government takes immediate action, for not doing so will take Iraq down an imperil path.

[Atlantic Council Middle East Programs @ACMideast]

The Iraqi government and population can take the necessary steps to protect their country from the changing climate and safeguard Iraq for future generations.

Waiting on @IraqiPMO Mohammed Shia' al Sudani and @IraqiMoFA @Fuad_Hussein1 to honor Iraq's Foreign Ministry's centennial celebration.

May the next century of Iraqi diplomacy continue improving Iraq for generations to come.

People don't realize the breadth and depth of the terror that the people of Lebanon experienced over the past few days - because the media has focused on the Hollywoodesque aspect of the attack rather than its terroristic nature.
Imagine 4,000 bombs going off across the country: at funerals, hospitals, grocery stores, barber shops and on the roads.
Children, women, medics and innocent bystanders have been killed and maimed. Those who were not physically injured were left terrified and mentally scarred.
I spoke to loved ones who were screaming and crying in fear after Wednesday's explosions.
There is no explanation for the valorization of these terrorist attacks other than the now clear belief by many Western journalists and politicians that Arabs and Muslims are lesser humans.

@KamalaHQ @TheDemocrats .@fivethirtyeight @galendruke would love to see your team discuss this poll in your upcoming politics podcast.

[Muhammad Baqir Muhyedeen @mbmdeen]

🧵 Latest poll done by @adc w/Molitoco and Community Pulse shows that although @KamalaHQ is polling higher than Biden, Jill Stein still overwhelming leads amongst Arab Americans. Similar trends can be expected amongst American Muslims too.

@KamalaHQ @TheDemocrats The War on Gaza cost Biden a 2nd term. @KamalaHQ must take concrete actions to bring Peace to the region to defeat Trump in Nov. The current Israeli escalation and threats to wage war on Lebanon will not result in a better outlook for Kamala.

[Muhammad Baqir Muhyedeen @mbmdeen]

I don't understand why the Democrats are so determined to lose the Arab and Muslim vote in 2024. The uncommitted margin in Michigan was what gave Biden victory in Michigan in 2020.

@MichiganDems and @TheDemocrats you have a new opportunity with @KamalaHQ but with limited time.

[Abbas Alawieh @abbasformi]

Tonight on the @MichiganDems presidential endorsement call, I was speaking up for the 101k Michigan Uncommitted voters who want our Party to adopt a more humane Gaza policy when a fellow DNC delegate unmuted to say "shut up, asshole."

[Muhammad Baqir Muhyedeen @mbmdeen]

This is a HUGE win for the Palestinian movement. Biden's unwavering support for Israel to the extent of enabling a genocide crippled his possibility to an electoral majority.

The ball is in the Dems leaderships' hand. Will they listen to their base to retain some power in 2025?

[Muhammad Baqir Muhyedeen @mbmdeen]

@RoKhanna Arab American here. Will go out of my way to make sure Genocide Joe loses. Have your party nominate someone else.

[Amwaj.media @amwajmedia]

For years, #Iraq’s #Turkmen community has demanded that Tal Afar be elevated from a district in Nineveh to a full-fledged governorate.

Will Baghdad finally grant their request?

The clear choice for the Dem nominee in the MI US Senate race is @NasserforMich.

Nasser Beydoun is the only candidate that will work on behalf of all Michiganders.

@ElissaSlotkin will work on behalf of the pro-war agenda, lining the pockets of her military defense contractor friends.

@hillharper seems like a nice guy, but what do we really know about him? He’s not from MI, and transplanted to the state from Hollywood to run for office.

Nasser has what it takes, and the Dems best shot at holding on to the Senate seat in Nov.

@mohamedshia @CountyExecEvans @assadturfe @SamHBaydoun @AlabasFarhat @al_jaffaary Iraqis started their journey to the US in 1910. Detroit is home to the largest Iraqi community, contributing to Detroit's economy, medicine, sports, engineering, etc. Iraqis also hold public office seats, including state representatives, judges, and city council members.

🧵 Yesterday, Iraqi PM @MohamedShia al Sudani visited Detroit to meet with the local Iraqi expatriates community. The historic visit adds another chapter to the Detroit-Iraqi relations, which stems back almost a century.

@mohamedshia @CountyExecEvans @assadturfe @SamHBaydoun @AlabasFarhat @al_jaffaary More than Iraqi heads-of-state visiting Detroit, in 1980, Detroit's Mayor Coleman A. Young gifted Iraq a key to the city following Iraq's donation of $500,000 to the Chaldean community to establish a Chaldean Catholic Church in Detroit.

[Adil Zineelabdin @AdilZineelabdin]

Before he visited Washington, PM Sudani wrote an important article for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Sudani highlights key issues between Iraq and the US and emphasizes the delicate balance his government has established between the US and Iraqi armed groups.

Baghdad's forecast: 10 hrs of rain. Although welcomed in the desert climate of Iraq, the country's infrastructure wasn't built for this much prescription.

However, in a sign of defiance, Iraq's flag is shining above @Iraqimofa, reminding all that God is indeed the Greatest.

[Muhammad Baqir Muhyedeen @mbmdeen]

@SanaSaeed @EmgageAction #1) why are you dictating to Black Muslims how they must vote? The organization includes black Imams and others, not just Salima.

2) Emgage didn't take credit for MI win. That's an exaggeration. The tweet literally said they were part of a coalition led by Listen To Michigan.
