Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the endorsement of one of the nation’s largest Muslim American voter mobilization groups, marking a significant boost to her campaign since many Muslim and Arab American organizations have opted to support third-party candidates or not endorse.
Emgage Action, the political arm of an 18-year-old Muslim American advocacy group, endorsed Harris’ presidential campaign on Wednesday, saying in a statement provided first to The Associated Press that the group “recognizes the responsibility to defeat” Donald Trump in November.
The group, based in Washington D.C., operates in eight states, with a significant presence in the key battlegrounds of Michigan and Pennsylvania. The organization will now focus its ongoing voter-outreach efforts on supporting Harris, in addition to down-ballot candidates.
You mean more than we see here on a daily basis?
Pretty sure they are talking about Meta. The DoJ is starting to look at breaking up companies and Meta will do everything they can to stop it.
Ah yes, Lemmy, noted bastion of Republicans.
Islamophobia is normalized in Western Media
Yes, but Lemmy is probably the least islamophobic platform out there, short of anything explicitly islamic.
No, I’ve seen a couple people be blatantly islamophobic here, without even going into the weirdo instances.
There’s definitely islamophobia here, but it’s “soft” compared to most other online places. And I’m not using “soft” to excuse it, but that it tends to be less bad and less noticeable here (than reddit, twitter facebook etc).
Thats because .world is also a wierdo instance, it’s just bigger.
I agree, especially compared to places like Reddit or Twitter. I was referring more to how the humanity (or lack their of) of Muslims is framed in news articles by Western Media Outlets
I bet there are at least a few on .world
Lemmy.ml, yeah. Republicans with the thinnest coat of red paint possible.
