I’ll never forget travelling to Israel for work, on an official U.S. Government passport, with a Jewish colleague.

They asked his father’s name. He passed.

They asked my father’s name. I said “Mohamed.”

And off I went to be humiliated for 45 mins. As a Pentagon official.

Shoutout to @GoZayaan for an incredible day trip to Panam Nagor and Sonargaon - so much knowledge shared and we got to try lots of new foods during a fair. Would 10000% travel with them again

Could cancel one leg - but literally impossible to get to the other.

[Stung @sttung]

Sigh.. HYD-DHK direct flights on @IndiGo6E canceled, but no way to actually properly cancel both legs. Ready to switch to @airvistara …

The Israeli siege on Gaza has killed thousands of civilians, thousands of children. Millions are without food, water, fuel and medicine. This is dire.

What is needed right now is an immediate break in violence to allow for a true negotiated ceasefire.

New Interview: I talked to Daniella Weiss, a West Bank settler and activist, about how her religious views shape her view of the conflict, why she thinks human rights should not be considered universal, and her movement’s extreme plans for the region. https://t.co/YwDBWcXGNo

The most pressing thing I’ve wanted to say about Killers of the Flower Moon, especially to Native Women & Youth: See it when and only if you feel ready, and see it with people you feel safe with. You’ll likely have a lot of generational grief to process. You’re not alone.

@supremedaisha And that’s on purpose to promote the idea that gender is a fixed state of being, instead of what it really is: a social construct with norms, standards, and expectations both cis and trans people actively work to affirm or “fit into.”

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

We are shocked and disturbed to learn that a landlord in Chicago expressing anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian views broke into a Muslim family's apartment and attacked them with a knife, injuring the mother and killing her 6-year-old son, Wadea Al-Fayoume. @cairchicago will hold a press conference this afternoon to share more details, God willing. The Islamophobic rhetoric and anti-Palestinian racism being spread by politicians, media outlets, and social media platforms must stop. Now. #Palestine #Israel #Islamophobia #Wadea

@BluebirdAirways any chance of changing re bookings of flights via Tel Aviv?

[Stung @sttung]

Truly, why do I even try with @MoviePass ? Theater listed on website, and that I’ve used before.. not available on their app. No support response. Classic.

[Stung @sttung]

Nothing like trying @MoviePass a 2nd time round, only for payment attempts not to go through.. and no way to contact support. 😑

When you really thought your new SIM card and the wifi were broken coz WhatsApp kept saying “connecting”..

Just heard “Don’t miss out on your life trying to get it together” and I might’ve needed to hear that more than I know
