Starting a thread of books I read in 2025 here. The first book I finished in the new year was Mona Hassan's "Longing for the Lost Caliphate: A Transregional History".
I started reading this book this week.

We are in a new age of Christian nationalism — one powered by American militarism, propelled by anti-Muslim revanchism, and turbo-charged by anti-Black racism.

Again, if you haven’t read the link below, we went from having 1/2 our rent paid for ~3 years & food assistance each month via my child’s district to having it stop suddenly for all families - with no time to plan ahead, etc.

I’m also working full-time & not even getting paid rn. Plz consider🙏

Sara is raising in Norwegian Kroner but GoFundMe lets you donate in your own currency now- so no conversions needed (but if you want to do them they are about 10 Kroner to the dollar)
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Sara is a nurse who has been working in Nasser Hospital. She has three children Muhammad, 6, Ziad, 5 and Ammer who is just 11 months. Muhammad and Ammer both need medical care outside of Gaza and she is looking for someone to help with that.

When you look at the global situation it quickly becomes obvious that Hamas is the last sane center-right party.

The Ahmed al Ahmad video is so profoundly moving, because it was clearly 50/50 whether he could overpower the gunman

Anas narrated that the Prophet(ﷺ) said:
"Help your brother whether he is an oppressor or oppressed." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah! I help him when he is oppressed. But how can I help him when he oppresses?" He said: "Prevent him from oppression, that is your help for him." - Jami' at-Tirmidhi

It is funny that there is a subsection of US liberal who laments the increasing importance of the Gulf states when one of the cornerstone uniformities of the current and previous three presidencies was inflating the importance of the Gulf states and lodging them at the center of the regional order.
Also ignoring that the inaction on Sudan was inextricably linked to the cooperation on Gaza.

It's perfect that this is the moment that someone at The Atlantic decides to stand up for workers' rights lmao
I wrote about why we should not celebrate someone losing their job, especially in today’s America, even when they’ve done terrible racist things.

Losing a job should also be harder and involve workers’ bodies not unilateral management decisions.

The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Sir, that farm was raided by government agents who disappeared people and their families can’t find them

Atlantic editor: So?

Sir, a woman screamed racial slurs at black people and said “I am a racist” as she was doing it

Atlantic editor: This calls to mind the brave words of Cesar Chavez-
