Loving this passive-aggressive response from Bedford Borough Council.
Loving this passive-aggressive response from Bedford Borough Council.
Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, the reigning Democratic king of trolling Republicans online, wrote bluntly, “Resign now, you racist slob.”
Many #House #Democrats called for #RandyFine to be stripped of his committee assignments.
But #MikeJohnson remained silent, & Mr. Fine doubled down in response to the backlash.
“My post was in response to a major Muslim leader saying dogs should be forbidden from New York City because to some Muslims, it bothers them,” #RandyFine said in an appearance on Newsmax. “If they’re going to make us choose between our dogs & them going home, the choice is easy.”
One of the few conservatives who criticized Fine publicly was Megyn Kelly, the podcast host, who wrote in an online post that “instead of attacking the person or the policy, you went full bigot.”
The comment prompted immediate & unequivocal condemnation from #Democrats.
Rep #HakeemJeffries, Democrat of New York & the minority leader, said that #RandyFine “is a disgrace to the United States #Congress. He is an Islamophobic, disgusting & unrepentant bigot.”
Jeffries added that it was “unacceptable that #MikeJohnson & #House #Republicans continue to remain silent,” referring to the speaker.

Nerdeen Kiswani, a #Palestinian #Muslim New Yorker & organizer, said in a social media post that dung-filled snowdrifts in the city proved that dogs should not have a place in society as indoor pets because, she wrote, “like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”
#RandyFine responded∶“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

Rep #RandyFine, #Republican of Florida, on Tuesday faced a barrage of calls for his resignation from #Democrats — & silence from Republican leaders — after making an #Islamophobic statement suggesting he prefers dogs to Muslims.
Fine, a first-term congressman… who often makes Islamophobic remarks on social media, made the statement in question on Sunday in response to a post from a #Palestinian activist based in New York City.

The "Board for a Piece of Palestine": same old, same old western neocolonialist project.

There is the genuinely stunning fraud scandal, recently revealed, that happened on Walz’s watch. And there is the long shadow of #GeorgeFloyd. But to understand both the crackdown & its stakes, it’s also worth revisiting a speech #Trump gave in the city in Nov 2016, two days before the election that would first deliver him to the White House.

“Oh, Minnesota,” #Trump told the crowd, dropping into the just-you-&-me-talking mode that has always been one of his greatest assets as a politician. “You know what’s going on. You know what I’m talking about. Do you know what I’m talking about? Be politically correct. Just nod — quietly nod. The whole world knows what’s happening in #Minnesota.”

"'Categories are leaky' is one of my constant refrains. Anyone who wants to blame all Muslims or Islam for the action of the two murderers in Sydney has to reckon with the Syrian-Australian guy who saved so many lives while risking his own to wrest a gun away from one of the murderers."

"They pit us against each other, but at the end of the day, if you’re a person of color, Jewish, Muslim, a woman, LGBTQ, Latino, or Black, then you are seen as the 'other' and the invader.
Instead of 'thoughts and prayers,' we must see each other’s humanity, stand in solidarity….

Lest we forget: Streeting accepted £15k from a donor with huge interests in privatised health care. The Electoral Commission register shows he received the donation from John Armitage, a hedge fund founder & manager who has given over £3million to the Tories. Streeting is an unprincipled Labour #Quisling!

Report: "A German court has ruled that a Muslim woman cannot serve as a judge or prosecutor if she refuses to remove her headscarf during court proceedings."
"Germany’s interpretation of state neutrality has become a tool for discrimination rather than impartiality... & such rulings disproportionately affect Muslim women," say critics.
Christian symbols, such as crosses, are allowed in courtrooms, but not kippahs.
Because too many people in the UK let him get away with using the Cass Review to take away puberty blockers from trans kids (it's NOT complex how it works folks)
