@yasmineseale thank you for your wonderful work on The Arabian Nights! Just ordered your Aladdin and I can't wait to get it and devour it. Also just ordered Hanna Diyab's memoir because of your book. 🤓❤️
@LaraAtallah @DanielGHajjar Lebanon with its current borders, aka Greater Lebanon, was created by some of the most recent colonial powers, true. But the idea of a place called Lebanon with inhabitants is thousands of years old. It's just been a very unlucky place with many occupiers over the millennia
@DanielGHajjar "Phoenicianess" aside, what is wrong with refusing any additional labels, especially one that is misleading & neo-colonial. 🇱🇧 is made of many different identities and ethnicities, as are other countries in "MENA," from Morocco to Iraq. I don't identify anything other than 🇱🇧& 🇺🇸

Today, on the 2-year anniversary of the CDC’s #Title 42 public health order, Dr. Sarah Battistich and I urge @POTUS and @CDCDirector to rescind the order and resume the normal processing of asylum seekers at U.S. land borders. #EndTitle42 https://t.co/iEZ3ukwhch
