You came from my bio, so here's what I'm up to... I'm an American Muslim, and I love this country. Its promise, its stubborn hope, its endless mix of people who somehow keep trying to live side by side. That's exactly why I'm worried about it. Too few of us are talking to each other. People who don't look alike, don't pray alike, and don't vote alike mostly talk past each other, or not at all. A tweet only tells you a sliver of a person. A conversation tells you the rest. So I want to build something that makes those conversations easier. Maybe a podcast series, audio clips, short videos, or writing, made together. The goal is healthier conversations on the road to 2028. And I don't only want to hear from people who agree with me. If you disagree with me, I especially want to hear from you. I'll be vulnerable here: there are a lot of bots on this app, and I'm tired of shouting into the void. If you're a real person, I'd love to talk, because I'm a real person too. One ground rule: real names, real people. I'm happy to talk about how public or private we want the work to be, and the form is where we figure that out. Here's the form. If you are not ready to work on something yet, please retweet or tag someone who might be interested. I read every response 👇 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Plagiarization is a form of flattery!

Guy if you have to label a farmer picking olive from his own farm as a provocation and drama ... then you are telling on yourself now.

These 'I am a lifelong Democrats but won't vote for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed' shills are so pathetic. They coplay as progressives and when they are called out, they block you. As if living in your own 'twitter/X' bubble will translate into a cohesive and coherent argument which will magically reflect on the polls. No it will not. The world has spoken up. We will march for both Palestinian and Jewish people. This effort to diminish Palestinians and focus on zionist exceptionalism is not a good look.

PEP 'Progressive Except Palestine' It is so called 'progressives' like you who have consistently dehumanized Palestinians for decades and are now actively undermining the Democratic party because you can't stand the fact that the world has recognized this Genocide and your grift.

Why is anyone surprised that AIPAC (and adjacent PACs) have moved from one NPC to another? We literally predicted this a few months ago.

For years, Neera Tanden hid her bogotry well. She didn't really need it because she had other tools in her arsenal. But now when her control is slipping, the mask is off.

100% agree. We should begin asking, more often and more loudly, whether Zionists are truly our allies—and whether those who support Zionism, whether they’re Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Republican or Democrat, are genuinely on our side. A thoughtful, important conversation can only start when we’re all willing to pose the hard questions, rather than relying on Abdul to answer everything for us.

Imagine targeting someone like @DanielBiss just because he is working to empower Democrats to win a Senate majority! This Israel-first agenda will ruin American democracy and social fabric.

So great to see Daniel offer not just support but also share much hope with the community. We appreciate Jewish leaders like Daniel who are prioritizing these important conversations! We can't let Republicans win.

oh come on. He's answering a question about Democrats, not specifically Abdul. Transcript: "... and I think that his victory and the victory of Democrats across this country is of critical importance to our city, because what it also indicates is a willingness to chart a new course in Washington that has working people at the heart of it. And so we're hopeful, and yet we also know that hope doesn't win elections, the action that it motivates does, and we look forward to that."

hey @LTGetsPolitical thanks for sharing and treating this topic with the somberness it required. I did not know what #NAZA meant. I struggled through the video but made it to the end. I cant believe how we have abandoned humanity. I will try to watch the doc soon, and I am prepared to come away with gloom ... but I also hope that someday all this will become common knowledge and justice will be served.

Finally! “AIPAC continues to use fear and intimidation to push candidates toward unconditional support for whatever Israel’s government does. That approach has failed Israelis, Palestinians, and Americans alike. J Street is proud to be going on the offense against AIPAC-backed anti-democracy candidates to secure a pro-Israel, pro-peace, and pro-democracy majority on November 3rd. ”

The greatest fear Zionists have is losing the Jewish youth like David! Listen to how eloquently he talks about why he is supporting Dr. @AbdulElSayed. He has so far one of the more balanced views I have heard. Listen and share.

Some thoughts about the pro-Israel 'vote blue no matter who except when it is a Muslim candidate who opposes the Genocide' folks twisting themselves into pretzels to justify why they wont vote for #AbdulElSayed . --- "It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you free to desist from it." This election is about one thing: stopping a delusional, corrupt, warmongering fascist from continuing to destroy the Constitution and enrich himself in the process. Literally anything that detracts even slightly from the goal of saving the country is a shameful act of cowardice or bigotry. I get it. You wanted Stevens. Fine. But progressives have been told to “vote blue no matter who” for decades. Now it’s moderates who have to do the same. It’s not about “blind obedience” as much as trusting the will of the majority of the party you claim to be a member of. I was a Mallory supporter initially. But there was a primary. Abdul won it. Now he has my support. Because even if we don’t agree on everything, I agree with Abdul on ten times as many issues as I agree with Mike. So of course I’m voting for Abdul. Obviously. How is it even a question? As for Israel, tell me what, exactly, can a single Senator do that could possibly be a dealbreaker for you? He will be a junior Senator, just 1 of 100 members. Are you worried he might introduce legislation to tie military support of Israel to an end of Genocide in Gaza? Or ask tough questions of Netanyahu in a Senate hearing? So what! Why are you so terrified of even a tiny bit of disagreement on the conditions of supporting a foreign government? Isn’t the point of Democracy to discuss and debate ideas? Are criticisms of Israel always off-limits, or are they only off-limits for a Muslim? Because if Bernie Sanders was up for reelection this year, I highly doubt you’d have Jewish Democrats leaving his ballot blank, despite having identical positions and rhetoric to Abdul on Gaza and Israel’s future. Honestly, it’s such a staggering act of privileged selfishness to “bravely” leave a ballot line blank when so many people are suffering under this President’s policies. We have a chance to help literally repair the world with this vote. What could be a higher calling than that?
