US Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.

“Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” says Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe.

    You make a good point, but the problem remains the same. We still need some of us to be willing to clean up the shit to preserve the truth.

    I’m not sure I understand how your last sentiment relates. 🙃

      People like this exist and you can find them. You just won’t have them advertised to you. Real journalism exists, but its speaks floating in a sea of disinformation.

      I can only be so upset a people for failing to find it. There but for the grace of God go I.

      A great deal of informed opinion and intelligently dissenting views have been actively suppressed at the educational, political, and industry levels.

      Whether you’re Cori Bush or Norm Finkelstein, you’re fighting and uphill battle just to be recognized.
