Sometimes people post such outrageous lies about me that you just have to confront them directly.
Nothing this man said is true. Not a word. I haven’t used his work or name fundraising for myself or my organizations. But he has boldly made this lie anyway.
It’s an out of body experience to see strangers act like they have beef with you and accuse you of stealing from them! Like what are we even doing?
I openly encourage you to file a lawsuit against me. I have NEVER heard from you. My email and contact information is everywhere.
Also, contact your local district attorney to report me for fraud.
Also contact your state attorney general.
Also, file a fraud claim with your bank.
Also, have your attorneys contact me or my attorneys.
Sadly, you’ve been duped. Then gone public with your ignorance. May Allah forgive you.
I encourage you to embrace Islam. We actually have a process for how these things are handled.

Shaun King I just found out what u did bruh, purposely or accidentally, you’ve done this a few times over the years, and i keep trying to reach out to u… I don’t wanna have to sue u, just get with me and make it right…..and to the other people/origination involved, I told u to reach out to me, out of the respect I do have for u, im not gone name u right now, But u need to holla at me asap. Using my work and my name to make people think they donating to me or to help my cause is nasty work. Don’t post me, tag my work, and tell people to donate to another originazation and say it’s going to my cause. That sh1t foul…this is one of the many reasons i fell back from the community. Clout and Nepotism. I don’t care how famous u are. I need receipts of all money donated, and a refund to the people who donated or a transfer of funds for the total amount donated to the origination it should have went to, those people donated towards something, and the money should of went there. Thank u 🙏🏾

Pope Francis was pro-Palestinian, pro-Black, pro-LGBTQIA+, and pro-progress. The next Pope is going to be the farthest right you can imagine, because fascism seeks to infect every institution. And it’s on the rise around the globe, buckle up.

Yemeni President Mahdi Al-Mashat: The confirmed information we have is that the Truman lost its command and control and has been out of service since the early days of the aggression.

The aggression against our country came once or twice from the Truman, while the rest came from other locations that we are monitoring.

Walmart is stepping up its efforts to fight retail theft by locking up high-value items like steaks in some stores and adjusting self-checkout options. The move is part of a broader strategy to reduce shoplifting and protect merchandise.

Of course nobody thinks about charging reasonable prices and paying living wages.- eb

Barack Obama[2008] says that undocumented immigrants are....
🔎Destroying our Economy and way of life
🔎Taking American jobs
🔎Employers who hire illegals should be thrown in prison
🔎We need stronger border security
“The Bush administration has done nothing to control the problem that we have. We've had 5 million undocumented workers come over the borders since George Bush took office. It has become an extraordinary problem. And the reason the American people are concerned is because they are seeing their own economic position slip away.
And oftentimes, employers are exploiting these undocumented workers. They're not paying the minimum wage. They're not observing worker safety laws. And so what we have to do is create a comprehensive solution to the problem.
Now, I have already stated that as president, I will make sure that we finally have the kind of border security that we need. That's step number one.
Step number two is to take on employers. Right now, an employer has more of a chance of getting hit by lightning than be prosecuted for hiring an undocumented worker. That has to change. They have to be held accountable.”

Hit by a bus last week, hospitalized in serious condition, then she recovers but commits suicide this week.

does anyone believe this bullshit?

I am not afraid of them. At all.
That’s what they want.
It’s what all bullies want. They THRIVE off of fear.
And they are counting on you being afraid, staying afraid, and collectively getting stuck there.
Fear Allah and nothing else.

Roald Dahl on Measles: "Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it.
Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it was her turn to make one herself, I noticed her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.
'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her.
'I feel all sleepy,' she said.
In an hour, she was unconscious.
In twelve hours she was dead.
The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her.
That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.
On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles.
...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive.
The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
Roald Dahl, 1986

Israeli fascists are literally starving two million people to death and there is no outcry from the Western world, no sanctions, no sanctimonious references to the violations of human rights - nothing!! This is sadistic barbarism on a scale unprecedented in human history.

What really depresses me is how most Democrats don’t seem to want a transformative leader. They don’t want an FDR. The height of their ambition is managed neoliberal decline.

If you don't want us to criticize Democrats then you don't want the party to change.

You're fine with the genocide, with 68K a year dying because they don't have healthcare, fine with the 33% increase in homelessness under Biden/Harris and fine with billionaire families getting $1 trillion richer under Biden/Harris and in lovel with the record-high military budgets.

When you blast us for calling out these things, you're saying you don't want the Democratic Party to change. You've made it clear exactly where you stand, and it's not on the side of justice.

BREAKING: Trump Orders Hegseth and Bondi to ‘Determine How Military’ Can Be Used in Domestic Law Enforcement.
And you said that could never happen. He’s preparing to stop the protests across America. Now what?

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, once considered a potential future leader of the Democratic Party, showed up at the airport to greet Trump when he arrived last night, hugged him, and then spoke at his rally.

Released Israeli-Russian prisoner Alexander Trufanov made a statement about the Palestinian resistance that shocked occupying Israel, its supporters and agents:
“Your kindness has been engraved in my conscience forever...”
During the 498 days I lived among you, and despite the aggression and crimes you endured, I learned the true meaning of manhood, pure heroism, respect for humanity, and values.
You were the free ones under siege, while I was the prisoner — and you were the protectors of my life.
You cared for me like a loving father cares for his children.
You preserved my health, dignity, and well-being.
Even though I was in the hands of men fighting for their stolen land and rights — even while my own government was committing the worst genocide against a besieged people — you never allowed me to go hungry or be humiliated.
I never knew the true meaning of manhood until I saw it in your eyes, and I didn’t understand the value of sacrifice until I lived among you. I saw you smile in the face of death, resisting an enemy armed with weapons of destruction, while you had nothing but your bare bodies.
No matter how eloquent I try to be, I can’t find words that reflect your true worth or express my astonishment and admiration for your noble character. Does your religion really teach you to treat prisoners this way?
How great this faith is.”

🚨 Read all of this or don’t read it at all. It’s meant as one expanded thought. ⁣
⁣
When I study the Sahaba, and see our Prophet ﷺ say that they were the greatest generation, something suddenly appears very clear to me. ⁣
⁣
We have too many Muslims. ⁣
⁣
Let me explain. ⁣
⁣
Not enough of us are willing to give our lives to stop injustice and to protect Muslims and other oppressed people. The Prophet ﷺ said it’s because we have weakness in our hearts and love this earth too much. And that we are afraid of death. ⁣
⁣
Yes, we are being slaughtered in genocides. That’s not what I mean.⁣
⁣
You can’t study the first Muslims (the Sahaba) without immediately seeing how willing they were to give their lives to protect one another. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes a righteous battle would cost them 5% or more of all Muslims. But the injustice was stopped. Victory was won. ⁣
⁣
Now, lines on maps have been drawn, mainly by Europeans and colonizers, and Muslims tell other Muslims we can’t cross those lines to help other Muslims being slaughtered. We can’t cross one imaginary line in Egypt to stop the genocide. Or they will detain us. We can’t cross another invisible line in Jordan or they will do the same. ⁣
⁣
And listen, that is enough to stop me. ⁣
Or you. ⁣
⁣
But THOSE LINES ARE NOT ENOUGH to stop 10% of all Muslims. Or 5%. Or 1%. ⁣
⁣
A tiny percentage of us could enter Gaza and allow the aid trucks in. If .5% of all Muslims tried, we would end this genocide in a day. ⁣
⁣
And we just accept it. ⁣
⁣
We must remove the weakness from our hearts, focus ourselves on Jannah, and live like the Sahaba.
