- On the first day of Islamophobia Awareness Month, I find out I have been dismissed through Twitter. That is unacceptable.
- [THREAD] I always knew it would be difficult being a Black, Muslim woman in the public eye but the racist and Islamophobic abuse I have been subjected to and death threats I have received since becoming NUS president are not ok. 1/5
- 🧵 With the Jewish Chronicle (JC) now facing public scrutiny and resignations over its lack of credibility, I’ve been reflecting on my own experience with this paper - a period in my life where the JC’s attacks made my life a living hell.
- Solidarity, Fatima! The disgusting attacks and smears are an all too familiar pattern for those of us who are standing up for Palestinian rights. We will not be intimidated into silence 🇵🇸
00:00 - Tory MP Robert Jenrick's recent claim that our streets are overrun by "Islamist extremists" and that they are intimidating MPs is not only disturbing but downright appalling.
00:00 - Today, I can confirm that I have commenced Employment Tribunal proceedings against the NUS. carter-ruck.com/news/press-rel…
- No ceasefire. No vote. We are watching. We will not forget. #CeasefireNowInGaza
- Wes Streeting barely survived. Leanne achieved something that no one else could. What an incredible campaign! @LeanneMohamad, thank you for giving us hope 💜 What a humiliating result for Wes.
- Replying to @ShaimaDallaliI am proud to be Black. I’m proud to be Muslim and I’m proud to be serving students across the country who are facing some of the most difficult challenges that students have ever had to face. 5/5
- Question for Labour Muslims: why are you still in the party? You've written statements, 250+ of you signed an open letter but your party still REFUSES to apologise for supporting war criminals. The longer you stay, the more you're complicit in what you claim to stand against.
- Replying to @ShaimaDallaliNo doubt, these attacks have taken a toll on my mental & physical health. But what keeps me going is the thousands of incredible students who elected me with an overwhelming majority. I was elected by them with the promise of serving them & that I would never give up on them. 3/5
- Replying to @ShaimaDallaliThere are those who are working tirelessly to make sure that women who look like me never feel welcomed or safe in public positions. I’m also working hard to make sure that no Black, Muslim women who assume this role in the future has to ever experience what I’ve experienced. 4/5
