A racist in Wisconsin threw battery acid in a Latino man’s face after accusing him of being in the country illegally.

The victim, Mahud Villalaz, is a US citizen.

This is Trump’s America.
Sad that we even had to say this, but I guess we do. The violence would have been just as reprehensible if he didn’t happen to be a US citizen.

Someone who’s been on the receiving end of hate, I can say for certain: hate hurts us all.
Seven years ago, a white supremacist massacred a Sikh congregation in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.

This week, just a few miles away, a racist spewed hate while attacking Latino American Mahud Villalaz.

When will we learn?

A 16 yr-old runner finished a 5k race in Ohio with a new personal record — but was disqualified for wearing her hijab.

This is so wrong. Please ask the Ohio High School Athletic Association to update their discriminatory policy. Email webmaster@ohsaa.org
cnn.com/2019/10/24/us/…
I feel this on so many levels. We dealt with headwear policies in sports all the time. These rules are so ridiculous. Let me say this as someone who has run the New York City Marathon five times while wearing my turban. Rules like these are unnecessary, exclusionary, and outdated
In case you're struggling, feel free to copy and paste this to your email:

"Dear OHSAA, I was appalled to read the story of how you disqualified Noor Abukaram for wearing her hijab. It was wrong and hurtful, and we urge you to update your discriminatory policy immediately."

Most who are critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's racist costume have taken two one of two positions: either it is in poor taste and unintentional or it is harmful and dehumanizing.

I think it’s both.

A short thread on stereotypes, supremacy, and Orientalism.
Edward Said's work, Orientalism, shows how European colonialism was founded on the principle that the Eastern peoples and cultures are inferior to and in need of saving by those of the west. The drive to colonize people around the world relied on this supremacist logic.
The emergent stereotypes – irrational, uncivilized, backwards – are products of Orientalist assumptions. And they are part of Orientalism’s legacy too. We continue to produce and reproduce these stereotypes over time and across cultures.

Ravi Bhalla is the first-ever turbaned Sikh elected as mayor in US history. He's endured immense racist abuse, from flyers calling him a terrorist to death threats against him and his family.

Now, someone is photoshopping Ravi to depict him as a despot. This is racist and wrong.
Ravi is a good friend and a good man. Disagreeing with his politics is fair. But manipulating his image with racist tropes is absolutely unacceptable.

People of conscience and elected officials across the country -- especially in Hoboken -- should denounce this bigotry.
The racist image was produced and published by a right-wing blog in Hoboken, the city where Ravi serves as mayor. Please take a moment to condemn and report this abuse. hobokenhorse.com

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
