Happy Pub Day to Under the Full and Crescent Moon from @aamiranauthor.bsky.social “A resonant reimagining of Islamic history... Hussain interrogates power, conviction and social change with storytelling grace.” — Sumaiya Matin, author of The Shaytan Bride Order now: buff.ly/9mHTvZF

and the biden admin knew the whole time that israel wanted genocide but did nothing www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250823-ex-...

Ahmad is close to goal

After Israel slaughtered several Al Jazeera journalists, I asked the foreign affairs minister's office whether Canada intends to take action. Their response made me, as a journalist, feel sick. They pointed me to a tweet repost. One with a grammatical error. It didn't even name Israel:

I never knew what 5th stage malnutrition was, in a reality where the world produces more than enough food for everyone on the planet, I should never have to. #Gaza #Israel #Palestine #genocide ↓🧵 (1/8)

“It was a nightmare.” “(The guards) tortured us physically and psychologically.” “We were like chickens or rats locked up … and they shot us with rubber bullets.” Words from Venezuelan migrants sent to a prison in El Salvador. Unimaginable cruelty. www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/a...

Anyway thanks @moderation.bsky.app for answering my lifelong question of how the US so easily turned away my family fleeing the camps. Turns out you just call them scammers, say they're annoying, and shoo them back where they came from. There's no way you could know what would happen to them amirite

The blurbs for my upcoming novel. Coming this fall #booknote #fiction #islam #historicalfiction #feminism

Canada is 0.5% of the world population. We produce 5% of the oil & 6% of the methane. Canadian taxpayers subsidized the fossil fuel industry ~$30 billion in 2024. We subsidize global oil & gas users to help burn the planet. We are the problem. #EndFossilFuels environmentaldefence.ca/wp-content/u...

Happy Canada Day everyone. Let's take the opportunity to talk about something our Prime Minister, Mark Carney said on CNN in late June 2025. ↓ Continue reading (1/9)

Are you wondering about Sharia because of recent events? Maybe you'd like to read a novel that's set in a Sharia compliant Muslim Matriarchy? "Under The Full and Crescent Moon" is my speculative take on history that has a young woman writing fatwas to fight the patriarchy! Coming this fall!

I was in Saudi Arabia in 1990 when the First Gulf War erupted. ↓ Continue reading (1/15)

I am going to be consistent with my moral principles. Any injury or death to a non-combatant or civilian is unjustifiable. Does Israel hide military sites in the middle of cities? Yes, but that doesn't justify anything, human shield arguments are morally bankrupt. #Israel #Iran #Palestine ↓ (1/5)

I was honoured to interview @yipengge.bsky.social about the March to Gaza for this week’s episode of Bubble Pop. He’s been on the ground in Gaza before — and his testimony is vital in the face of this genocide. Here’s a clip from our conversation:

Israel attacks Iran Normal Americans: “What the f*ck?” AIPAC politicians: “We stand with Israel.” “A righteous attack.” Straight from AIPAC HQ, y’all. Happy WWIII to us, brought to you by a psychotic, genocidal state coddled by the UK and the US.

Cousin in Iran, she lives in a suburb of Tehran: “They’re bombing us, apartment buildings & homes. Apparently where high ranking officials live but entire buildings of other people. Dogs and cats freaking out. We couldn’t get in the basement.” They’re bombing high rises full of civilians.

Israel's attack on Iran, yet another demonstration of its contempt for international law, was also a smokescreen for yet another step in the ethnic cleansing and annexation of the West Bank. Israel is laughing in the face of the West's fake support of the 2 state solution

Thread #Iran - #Israel: When a nation like Israel repeatedly violates IHL and ICL with complete impunity, and is continually supplied with weapons, intelligence, and political cover by powerful states, it is not surprising when it escalates military action and commits further violations in Iran.

Every country outside of the USA and Israel has to say enough is enough and hu act like it.

I would like to remind everyone that Joe Biden funded the police instead of defunding them.

Would you accept Zionists in your country if it meant a Free Palestine sooner?

Having a moment of Heavy Anxiety due to post-election subscriber loss haha wheeeee It doesn't help that people loudly declare they're unsubscribing every time I criticize Carney (when policy sucks, it sucks! I'm sorry!) Incredibly grateful for those of you who have stuck around ❤️

The new conservative PM of Canada is sure pushing things ahead full steam. This is actually a veiled threat that they will be criminalizing Indigenous opposition to resource projects soon. Libs gonna Lib.

Eid al Adha Mubarak to all who celebrate and Free Palestine from the river to the sea.

🚨 message from gazafreedomflotilla

What's truly fucked-up about "Gen" ""AI"" is that this part, this right here, isn't an unfortunate side-effect but THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT. If you can ensure entire generations no longer even understand what information really is and what it's for, you won. Then you can get away with everything.

3rd day. The nightmare continues

This doesn't make any of us safe. This doesn't help any of us. My heart breaks every single day when I see what is happening in Gaza. I feel helpless. I know many of you do too. But when people enact violence in our name, it makes everyone less safe and it makes peace less likely.

I don't want to see a single person saying this was warranted by the carnage in Gaza, that this was for Palestinians. I am a Palestinian person and I do not want senseless acts of terror committed in my name. I don't want Jewish organizations to need extra security because of fear of violence.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

This is why Canada’s jails are filled with Indigenous inmates. They’re still “correcting” us.

At this point anyone supporting Israel and the slaughter of babies should be shunned and cancelled. Everyone needs to do their part and call them out everywhere. Don’t let them near your kids.

Lot of people wondered why before when aid sites were more open in Gaza people were still buying food- it’s because aid distribution sites were some of the most dangerous places in Gaza and it was much safer to buy from merchants

Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding. As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️

“ Ceasefire in gaza now“ Can we make it reach to everyone and make the world hear me ?

All Canadians enrolled in the IDF should be investigated and charged if found guilty of participating in war crimes. We don’t want them on our streets.

🧵 So I wrote a novel launching in September 2025, set in a Muslim matriarchy called "Under the Full and Crescent Moon" and the characters who live in it consider it to be perfectly in tune with Islamic Law. This is of course not an orthodox understanding of Islamic Law. #Islam #booksky #unity

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

💔 Today in Gaza, Israel targeted the home of Dr. Alaa and Dr. Hamdi Al-Najjar and murdered 9 of their children. While Dr. Alaa was working to save lives, she received the remains of almost her entire family. 💔

The murder of two Israeli diplomats is horrific and an act worthy of condemnation like any injury to any non combatant. There are three takeaways here though, that if not realized and acted upon will keep the situation of the world degrading further and further. A 🧵

The murders of Israeli embassy staff in DC are devastating and wrong. This does nothing to free Palestine. It just creates more pain and anger, and it is already being used to justify further harm. I'm thinking of their loved ones today, as well as anyone hurting right now.

We recorded this interview back in March this year. We spoke about the anti-Palestinian racism in the West, and the genocide in Palestine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0hC...

I don't care that Biden has cancer. I care that he's not in the Hague.

Everyday is Nakba witnessing in real time day. It never ended. And it won't until we end Israeli impunity once and for all. #Nakba

I grew up in the monarchy of Saudi Arabia and watched Saudi tv growing up. So I can tell you with confidence the reason the monarchs of the Gulf get along well with Trump is they recognize him as one of their own. He’s a King and is being treated as such by other Kings through lavish royal gifts.
