"I'm laying there in bed in the morning, and thinking, What can we do? What's left is Leahy Law... We have a mechanism to theoretically stop funding the Israel Defense Forces, which would significantly hamper Israel's ability to continue the genocide," Dr. Mark Brauner tells DAWN.

As Charlie Kirk is quickly canonized by Trump and his movement, a full depiction of his impact on American politics is largely being sidestepped.

Kirk built his movement with falsehoods, and his advocacy was laced with racist and bigoted statements.
No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way
His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

Islamophobic racial tropes are pervasive in public discourse and in turn contribute to harassment, discrimination and physical harm of Muslims.
