After years of delay and refusals to undo these harms of the Muslim and African Bans, there’s no excuse now. The Biden administration must move quickly to create and implement a fair and effective visa process for impacted individuals. #NoMuslimBanEver

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that the Biden admin must undo the harms of the Muslim & African Bans, and reconsider denied visa applications. The Biden admin must do what’s right and develop a fair, effective visa process for our communities.

A large large population of India is addicted to the idea of persecuting Muslims. No matter how broken they become, the ecstasy of everyday fascism will make them vote hate. Welcome to reality again

We urge the families of victims of the 9/11 attack who are pursuing litigation to engage with the Afghan-American community. We urge them to reconsider and drop their suit. Seizing money that belongs to the Afghan people will not bring justice but ensure more misery and death.

If you believe in democracy, you should make it easier for everyone to vote, even the people who disagree with you. If you don’t believe in democracy, then you have no place in elected office. #FreedomToVoteAct

Everyone is talking about “Tax The Rich” because of AOC’s stunt at a gala full of the people she was targeting, where she was invited for free in a free dress… to back up her actual legitimate work on this issue in Congress, and you’re all angry/confused as to why she did it?
