Eu sou mais forte do que aparento ser.  Mas muito mais frágil do que entenderiam.

Meu peso, além do corpo.

To the younger generation I just wanna say, keep going. A lot of times what’s happening in the country is that the older generation will tell you, “hey with all this Islamaphobia and horrible stuff that’s happening, just be twice as good, be twice as good” and to me that sounds like be twice as good to ask for half as much. I want you guys to have the audacity to work twice as hard and be twice as good to get twice as much

Action of the day: the Muslim Public Affairs Council supports the civil rights of Muslims in the US and works to dispel Islamophobic stereotypes.  They're playing an important role in resisting Trump's baseless refugee and visa bans.  Head to their site to learn more about their work or donate to support them.  And if you're Muslim and interested in entering public service, check out their excellent Congressional Leadership Development Program.

Minneapolis slams escalation of war on Afghanistan, demands “Hands off Korea”

Minneapolis. MN - With only 24 hour’s notice, Minneapolis peace groups organized an emergency response protest against the use a massive U.S. bomb in Afghanistan.

Over 60 people joined the protest held on Friday, April 14. Several people just walking by or waiting for their bus stopped and joined the protest. People in cars, trucks and buses passing by waved and honked in support of the anti-war message.

On Thursday, April 13, it was reported that the Trump administration and the Pentagon unleashed the most powerful U.S. bomb – the 20,000 pound GBU-43, referred to as the ‘mother of all bombs.’ The weapon was used in Afghanistan.

Twin Cities anti-war groups saw this as a major escalation of the U.S. wars and consulted quickly to call an emergency protest against this latest U.S. military move.

Organizers also raised the alarm about the growing danger of a new U.S. war in Korea. News reports had indicated that the Trump administration had plans for an imminent attack on Korea.

The protest was in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis. The neighborhood has many Somali immigrant families.

Participants held signs and banners to make an urgent anti-war statement in the face or what one organizers called "a terrifying event."

Meredith Aby-Keirstead, of the Anti-War Committee told the crowd, “We need to build a movement to stop Trump. Today's protest isn't just about saying no to the use of this new mega bomb in Afghanistan. We are pushing back and demanding that it never be used again. We are concerned that the Trump administration is planning on using this weapon against North Korea. We cannot let Trump think that he is having foreign policy 'wins' in Syria, Iraq and Yemen because this will embolden him to attack North Korea and endangers Iran."

The bomb, officially called the Massive Ordinance Air Blast (MOAB), was used against Islamic State targets in Nangarhar province, Afghanistan. The MOAB has a blast radius of one mile.

The MOAB is said to be the largest non-nuclear weapon in the U.S. arsenal. The chance of civilian casualties is high.

The protest was called by the Minnesota Peace Action Coalition (MPAC).
