First of a larger series and a web comic, Fahmy's adventures of a young Muslim girl making her way through school are laughable, relatable, and still grounded enough in prejudice and self-advocacy to be important for young readers.

CAIR’s Final Election Poll Shows Stein and Harris Still Tied Among Muslim Voters, Trump Trailing
#usa #USPolitics #uselections2024 #USAElections2024 #Harris #Stein #Trump #MuslimAmericans #poll
"Arab and #MuslimAmericans in the state of Michigan are grappling with a critical choice this election. Nearly 400,000 #ArabAmericans in the state were instrumental in delivering #Michigan to elect Joe #Biden in 2020. This time, however, many feel betrayed by his administration’s support for Israel’s wars in #Gaza and #Lebanon."

KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN RESPONSE
Mastodon Post
Harris campaign reaction to Ahmed Ghanim being ejected from a Michigan rally:
“The campaign was swiftly informed by Emgage Action of yesterday’s incident and looked into it,” the statement reads, referring to a Muslim American advocacy group. “Our campaign regrets this action and its impact on Dr. Ghanim and the community, and he is welcome at future events. We value our relationship with the Muslim American community and are committed to ensuring all community and political spaces are welcoming and respectful to every American.”

KAMALA HARRIS MET WITH MICHIGAN ARAB-AMERICANS
PAGE 34
Mastodon Post
Choosing top news stories and writing headlines are among the more curious arts. The Google News Top Story right now - the most important thing going on in the known universe - is Donald Trump returning to the scene of one of the assassination attempts with Elon Musk in tow. Not much has actually happened to this point. Meanwhile, in Michigan, Kamala Harris met with angry Arab-Americans. To my way of thinking, that is a huge news story and it is about things that actually have happened. So, I just ran text searches of Google News's current post on arab, gaza, kamala, michigan, muslim, and variants on the name, Palestine/Palestinians. Nothing. No hits at all. The one hit on the name, Harris, was a fact check of the conspiracy theory that Biden-HARRIS spending on migrants drained FEMA resources for hurricane relief. Guess we'd better get to the bottom of that and the heck with Gaza.

The simple truth is that Kamala Harris should be promising an arms embargo on Israel because Netanyahu is conducting a nearly year-long genocide in Gaza, he's doing it with U.S. funded and supplied weapons he couldn't accomplish this goal without, and said arms embargo seems like it's the only way to get Israel to stop bombing hospitals and sniping children in broad daylight. There can be no question about these facts, and America's continued material support for Israeli's militarized campaign of extermination makes U.S. leaders culpable for these crimes against humanity. As I've also pointed out repeatedly however, the fact that the Democratic Party probably can't beat Trump without winning my home state of Michigan, and that state has an extremely large population of Muslim Americans who may not just "shut up and vote" for a government actively helping to exterminate Palestinians, is also another pretty good damn reason for an immediate arms embargo by the U.S., on Israel.
Muslims Were Reliably Democratic Voters. With US Gaza Policy, That’s Changed.
"Vice President Kamala Harris and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are virtually tied, with about 29 percent of Muslims planning to vote for each candidate, according to a survey of 1,159 voters conducted shortly after the DNC. Another 4 percent plan to vote for Cornel West, the unaffiliated antiwar candidate who is still fighting to be on the ballot in multiple states.
Just over 11 percent plan to vote for Republican Donald Trump, and 16 percent remain undecided. Only 8 percent said they are not planning to vote in November.
“This is showing that Muslim voters who traditionally in the last election voted over 60 percent for Biden, that 60 percent has evenly split now between two candidates who have two very different messages that are addressing their concerns,” said Robert McCaw, CAIR’s director of government affairs, during a press conference Thursday."
Look, I know some people (including "progressive" political darlings like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) are going to read that quote and reflexive start bitching about what a fraud Jill Stein is, and I'm certainly willing to concede that she's no friend of mine. By that same measure however, if you give people a choice at the ballot box between genocide, and more genocide, you probably shouldn't be at all surprised when folks whose friends and relatives you're helping to exterminate start casting around for another option.
If you read this whole article, it's clear that these folks are not committed Stein voters, so much as outraged at the crimes against humanity Harris is effectively refusing to take action against even if she wins the election. The Democratic Party hasn't lost Michigan yet, and inexplicably there's still time to turn this around; but given the paper-thin margins polling in the state is presenting, Muslim Americans in Michigan probably aren't a constituency Harris can simply ignore. The best time to slap an arms embargo on Israel was over ten months ago; the second best time is right now, and even if Biden refuses, Harris can promise that she'll do so if and when she wins the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Refusing to do that is not only criminally inhumane, but a staggering example of political malpractice by a campaign that keeps swearing up and down that *the* most important thing to save America is stopping Trump, as well.
Furthermore, with recent polling showing that as many as seventy-five percent of Democrat voters now oppose Israel’s war on Gaza, there would appear to be no political downside at the ballot box for Harris if she promised to end it; if anything she'd likely attract more voters by doing so, particularly young and nonwhite voters who were a vital and likely irreplaceable part of the coalition that stopped Trump and got Biden over in 2020. If Harris is serious about winning this election and stopping Trump from potentially ending what passes for American democracy, the choice here could not be clearer; she needs to side with everyday voters, and against fascist apartheid states, Biden's ongoing support for a genocide, and weapons contractors - not just because it's the right thing to do, but because she's not going to win in 2024 without Michigan and other former "blue wall" states in the Midwest, and they demand action.
If you don't want to see a second Trump presidency that will almost certainly result in a right wing attempt to install a permanent, overtly fascist political order in America, you need to stop yelling at people online to "shut up and vote" and start telling Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party that you demand they do what it takes to actually win this election; and they can start by promising an arms embargo on Israel that will come into effect on day 1 of her presidency at the latest.

In key swing states the #Democrats won narrowly in 2020, #MuslimAmericans make up a significant voting bloc. And they have a single voting priority: #Gaza. How will #kamalaharris handle the big question?

#Israel’s #waronGaza has led to a wave of #Islamophobia, but #Muslim #Americans aren’t backing down from the fight
