Ok trying this again:
#TeamAdnan has registered their disapproval with my anthem choice, "I Knew You Were Waiting". Therefore, I solicited their suggestions and we will leave the anthem choice to you, the public, because popular opinion never gets anything wrong. The candidates: Links to all songs:

Today is a big day for Adnan and everyone who has been fighting for him! A DNA motion has been filed seeking testing of the victim Hae Min Lee's clothing and shoes and the rape kit. Items that HAVE NEVER BEEN TESTED BEFORE. This could literally lead to the killer. ALSO...
1/ Just as significant as the substance of the petition is the form. The PARTIES to the motion are big news: first, Adnan's attorney is finally revealed. I never publicly shared who I hired to pick up the case after our last appeal was denied so that she could work in peace..

And now, because many people don't know how we celebrate Eid*, a thread on our day yesterday.
(*like most everyone's celebrations, with food, family, friends)

We began with 9am prayers at the mosque. Most folks outside & masked for safety. I particularly appreciated the Eid sermon in which the Imam encouraged us to continue to be careful and wear masks saying we have a responsibility to all of humanity to protect the health of others too.

My two younger ones just hanging out waiting to pray in congregation. Image

Over 400 juvenile lifers in Maryland will die in prison because this one of the sad, shameful states that still hasn't abolished life without parole, though it's unconstitutional.

Here is a thread on how you can help. And yes, this can help #FreeAdnan

#JuvenileJustice Image The Juvenile Restoration Act will be heard in committee next Thursday and if passed it will finally abolish life without parole for juveniles. FYI, it's no coincidence the vast majority of juvenile lifers in MD are Black. 82% Image

I'm not trolling, I'm making an observation that you have confirmed @AmerZahr. So thank you for not gaslighting me. And I don't think our community should feel bad about prioritizing I/P, but I do think we shouldn't blindly pick the most pro-Palestinian candidate..
1/ Warren is a stronger candidate across all other issues and a more effective legislator, and lags only slightly behind Sanders on I/P. But that difference is enough for our community to throw most of their weight behind Sanders and I think that's a mistake 2/

We were invited to a dinner/game night/celebration of Nunu being cancer free last night and I made haleem in the instapot for it! Haleem is a rich stew w beef, lentils, barley, made usually in winters. I decided to video tape step by step to share. 1/ You'll need 2 lbs of boneless beef, thawed, rinsed, drained. You can use boneless chicken but beef is more authentic. First, brown a couple of sliced onions in generous amounts of vegetable oil. @ChuckWendig this is the best way to do batches of onions. 2/

Learning about Aunty Shamim's illness was devastating. I held that information alone for two years. She finally told Adnan a month ago.

#TheCaseAgainstAdnanSyed @Undisclosedpod should do an episode about pro bono prosecutor @thiru4baltimore called "The Deal With Thiru"

Occurred to me that since today is Easter, I'd share what Muslims believe a bit about Jesus' life & death, or as he is referred to in the Quran, Isa (pbuh). It's the tradition that after the name of any prophet of God we say peace be upon him, hence (pbuh).
#Easter Muslims believe in the Virgin Birth and Jesus is called the "Word of God" and "the Messiah" in our scripture. He is called the "Word" because we believe God said "Be", and Jesus was created through this command.

19 years ago to day Hae Min Lee left Woodlawn high school and disappeared. Nearly a month later her body was found in Leakin park in Baltimore city. 3 years ago #Serial brought the story to the world. But there is much more to the story than Serial. Thread: 1/ Adnan Syed, 17, her ex, was arrested and convicted Of her murder. We have been fighting for 19 years to prove his innocence. Last year his conviction was thrown out but the state filed an appeal and we are now waiting for that appeal to be decided. Burn in hell @thiru4baltimore

Going to take this opportunity to talk bout Jesus. As a Muslim. Pass it on to your nearest Islamophobic friend, neighbor, or relative Jesus is mentioned in the Qur'an, the holy scripture of Muslims, 25 times. Muhammad is only mentioned 5 times by name. There is entire chapter about Jesus and his mother, Mary. The chapter is called "Mary". Like, literally.
