Everything That Happened This Week On Let's Address This

(plus your obligatory Dad Joke)

This week on Let’s Address This, I cover how dark money groups like AIPAC, crypto billionaires, and DraftKings are spending millions to influence elections. I share scholarship on the dangers of a potential war with Iran and argue that MAGA conservatives don’t truly support “small government.”

A lot to cover so Let’s Address This!

Recap of Islam Today

During the holy month of Ramadan, I’ve been publishing educational pieces on my platform Islam Today—the newsletter I created to combat the rise of anti-Muslim hate and Islamophobic disinformation with facts and receipts. This week I shared the following articles:

• The Wrong Kind of Muslim – Chapter 9: Exporting Extremism — The latest chapter of my memoir on the persecution of faith minorities in Pakistan.

• The Newest Anti-Islam Meme Making Its Rounds — An AI image of “Jesus” destroying the Holy Kaaba.

• The Final 10 Days of Ramadan — Join me for a collective fast today, Saturday, March 14!

• Mayor Mamdani Exemplifies Ramadan In One Simple Post — When faced with public hate, Mayor Mamdani chose dignity and compassion, embodying the spiritual discipline Ramadan teaches.

It’s not too late to join us as a free or paid subscriber on that platform to receive the rest of my posts about Ramadan and Islam this month.
