@bushraamiwala.bsky.socialThe tragic shooting at largest mosque in San Diego county has resulted in 3 dead: 1. This is not an isolated incident. 2. There is literally an official "anti-Sharia" caucus in Congress. 3. Their goal is a formalized effort to institutionalize Islamophobia and alienate Muslim citizens.

Show PostInstead of asking "why didn't Bushra endorse Kat?" has anyone asked "Hey, Kat! Did you reach out to Bushra Amiwala and Mike Simmons to consolidate the vote? You need to do that!" Because KAT DID NOT REACH OUT TO EITHER OF THEM Did you know that? Why didn't you ask the question?? 🧵
Show PostI also will say that I find it frankly racist AF that progressive candidates of color in this district (namely Mike Simmons and Bushra Amiwala), who both grew up around here and are already in office, have been discounted and overlooked by those rushing to elevate the influencer and outsider.
Show PostThe ugliness being directed at Bushra Amiwala is disgusting. She was the first Gen Z candidate to become an elected official in the US, and the youngest Muslim elected official at the time. She’s been deeply involved in politics here since she was a teen.
