We are everything and nothing.

We are many and they are pathetic, dumb and few. The United States of America belongs to all of us and we will save our country from tyranny.

Millions of true Americans are standing up to this racist authoritarian regime ruled over by a weak insecure orange man. We will succeed and history will remember this moment. Immigrants built this country, and racists are always trying to kill and harm us.
No more.

I’m always on to my next cinematic project. In paper, in thoughts, scribbles and drafts, rough to refinement, the noise with glow, cicadas, tears, and forever.

I believe in full human rights for every individual in the United States.
I believe we should be free to love anyone we want to love and express our desires freely.
I believe in freedom of speech & freedom of expression in all forms.
I believe it is essential to fight tyranny & authoritarianism.

Today’s theme #relax

The time is now to do the right thing and break this immoral blockade. Israel is committing mass genocide and we need to come together and show our humanity and save the people of Gaza.
We can have a better world, we are many and the time is now. Free Palestine.

Dark days ahead. My whole life I’ve witnessed the United States government and media vilify Palestinians and allow and support massacres and starvation at the hands of Israel. But something has shifted in America. The propaganda machine is no longer working and people are seeing the truth.

The people of Gaza are being starved to death by Israel with the support of the United States. This is a war crime and a deliberate act. We need to stop this now!

#FreePalestine

I’m a Colorado based filmmaker and artist looking to connect with other Colorado artists in film and media. I lived many years in Chicago and before that the Middle East. Hello! #colorado #film

The United States is not a country that I recognize anymore. We are all in danger.

The Party with Peter Sellers :)

Working on a new film. This is the Crestone, Ziggurat in Colorado created by Najeeb Halaby; but is it a ziggurat? Reminds me of the Samarra minaret. It connects us to heaven and earth.

Hello friends.

With my habibtee.

I’m disturbed with what’s happening to the United States of America.

Immigration agents arrest Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University protests A prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead last spring's protests at Columbia University has been arrested by federal immigration agents.

This should frighten all of us. How is this ok? If our government doesn’t agree with our protest it can just illegally detain and arrest us? What country are we in? Dark days ahead. Fight this fascism!

ICE Arrests Pro-Palestinian Activist at Columbia Mahmoud Khalil, who recently completed a graduate program at Columbia, has legal permanent residency, his lawyer said.

The United States government just disappeared a lawful US resident because it didn't like his speech. You should care about this because it shouldn't happen to anyone, but you should also care because it could happen to you. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/n...

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

Our mind is not always in our head.

We are fucked if we allow this clown show to continue. Every American that cares about our values needs to resist and speak up.
