She is a co-founder and chair of Within Our Lifetime, a pro-Palestine activist group in New York City. During the Gaza War, Kiswani has led or spoken at numerous protests in New York City, including the Columbia University student encampment and protests against the detention of Mahmoud Khalil. Considered an influential activist, she has been credited with inspiring Gaza War protests in the US, including student protests. As a student at the City University of New York (CUNY), she was also involved in pro-Palestine activism as president of the school's Students for Justice in Palestine chapter. It's fair to assume you're a progressive so I wonder how you'll react when influential Muslims take a firm stand against some of your values. Try forcing your radical gender ideology in the Muslim communities and see what happens. The power of free speech. Like everyone else in the country. That's it. She's not an elected official. She's not in government. She's not in civil service. She's not on the staff of anyone in government.She has no power to make law, enforce law, direct funding or anything else. It is, quite literally, the same as you investing energy in what any random person on the street says. -- And she is certainly not the mayor of NYC. So again, why are you investing energy in this? Why do you care? --- I have no idea who she is and whether she was joking or not, but I suuuuuper don't care one way or another. You could read thousands of more offensive, hateful or alarming things on Twitter any given day. Should we have a thread for all of them? Jeebus. 1 Quote

LMAO 2 hours ago, Hodad said: Most New Yorkers aren't particularly worried or interested in what some rando posts on Twitter. This is someone you've never heard of who has no power. Why is that a "red flag"? Why do you care? Why does this thread exist, other than as a thin excuse for bigotry? QAnon RIDES AGAIN! Quote

ironstone Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Zohran Mamdani says 'No ID for voting!' , but you MUST bring ID to shovel snow? https://www.dailywire.com/news/warmth-of-collectivism-mamdani-urges-new-yorkers-to-become-an-emergency-shoveler?author=Drew+Berkemeyer&category=undefined&elementPosition=4&row=3&rowHeadline=Latest+News&rowType=Vertical+Carousel&title=Zohran+Mamdani+Says+No+ID+For+Voting+—+But+Bring+One+To+Shovel As New York City braces for what the National Weather Service has identified as the first blizzard in nearly a decade, far-left Mayor Zohran Mamdani is once again urging residents to fill gaps left by the city’s snow response, this time by signing up en masse as emergency shovelers — but there’s a catch. In a Saturday press conference ahead of the storm, Mamdani encouraged New Yorkers to report directly to city sanitation garages to help dig the city out after officials reportedly failed to recruit enough emergency workers during the last major snowfall. Volunteers, however, must provide proper documentation. “And for those who want to do more to help your neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an Emergency Snow Shoveler,” Mamdani said in his announcement. “Just show up to your local Sanitation Garage between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. tomorrow with your paperwork.” You can't make this stuff up.

Why not invest 20 seconds in a google search before making foolish statements?

Here's an AI interpretation of those Hadith references above... - The statement about washing items licked by dogs underscores the idea that dogs are considered najis (impure). This has led to the understanding that keeping dogs inside the home may compromise the household's cleanliness, particularly in areas designated for prayer. The narration describing the deduction of good deeds for keeping dogs without a valid purpose (i.e., farming or herding) highlights a disincentive for keeping dogs as pets. This can be interpreted as an implicit prohibition on keeping them indoors without necessity. The hadith that mentions angels not entering homes with dogs implies a spiritual prohibition. This suggests that having dogs indoors could create an environment not conducive to spiritual practices, making it a discouraging factor for some Muslims. Here's a bit of perspective on the importance of the Hadith to Shari law: Hadith literature plays a vital role in the identity of Muslim communities. It is a means of preserving the teachings of the Prophet and fostering unity among Muslims by providing shared beliefs and practices. Hadiths are integral to the formation of Sharia (Islamic law). Many laws and ethical guidelines are derived from hadith literature, influencing personal behavior, social interactions, and community regulations. Edited February 23 by Venandi Quote

I can never tell whether you guys post this crap cynically, knowing that it's bullshit but hoping that it's politically effective, or whether you just got suckered. There is not equivalency here. There are no hypocrisies here. A. These are not volunteers. They are paid labor. It's a job. B. Proof of employment eligibility is a federal requirement, not a state requirement or a city requirement. C. You have to provide proof eligibility to register to vote. You have to provide proof of eligibility when you apply for the job. That's the same. D. You you not need to provide ADDITIONAL proof of eligibility when you show up to vote. You don't have to provide ADDITIONAL proof of eligibility every time you show up to work. In both cases, the eligibility is already established. That's the same. E. A job shoveling snow is not a right. Voting is a right. Though they do, in fact, have very similar standards of verification, you shouldn't expect that it's necessary or reasonable that they do. Standard could differ because they are different beasts. If you got suckered by this meme, you should try to employ some critical thinking. If you are just being cynical, be better. 1 Quote
