My book SEASONS OF FURY is out today. It's the first narrative nonfiction that captures the rise of Islamophobia in the United States. The book spans seven decades and follows the lives of four families. Thank you to everyone who spoke to me to make this book possible.

The Trump administration on Tuesday moved to kick millions of people from SNAP — commonly known as food stamps — and other government assistance programs for vulnerable families, according to a new proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. abcnews.link/hM3prG4

As of today, my book, The Hunt, is available at bookstores everywhere. It’s a story about the American West — about ideology, politics, power, and wolves.

In the past, politicians have seemed to preserve a dichotomy between “good Muslims”—the assimilated, patriotic ones—and “bad Muslims”: the dangerous, radical members of the faith. This year, the distinction collapsed. via @rozina_ali buff.ly/kS2S4CT

In 2015, scientists expected the world would pass the 1.5C threshold in 2042–27 years down the road. Now they expect the threshold will be passed in 2029. In eleven years we’ve accelerated warming so much that we’ve shaved thirteen years off the timeline.
In 2015, the projected date for reaching 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels was 2042, based on ERA5 data. Today, our C3S global temperature-trend-monitor anticipates the threshold breach within this decade. Read the article: climate.copernicus.eu/how-fa… #CopernicusClimate

NEW: A @nytimes investigation found the Trump administration has deported more than 110 immigrants who've ended up at risk of torture or abuse in their home countries — despite US courts barring the removals. Rubio and his State Dept. oversee the program resulting in this.

"For god’s sake, I don’t know why we were targeted," said Yousef al-Qahm, 28, whose brother was killed and whose 7-year-old son spent weeks in the ICU. "We were safe in our homes and never expected anything like this to happen." nytimes.com/2026/11/06/world…

In 1907, a city in Washington violently expelled the Indian population living in town. These riots eventually led to the US govt closing its borders to Indian migrants (as well as all Asians)
HAPPENING NOW: Absolutely chaotic scene as conservative activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen storm a Diwali Hindu celebration at the Seattle Center Armory. They held signs that read, "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians." I just spoke to both men who say they are concerned about American culture being overrun by false idol worshippers and H1-B fraudsters. Lang and Allen say they will be targeting other locations in the city this weekend. They have yet to announce details of their plans due to possible retaliation by Antifa and other far-left activists. Stay tuned. @JakeLang|@Tommy4Trump420

Almost a quarter of all civilian casualties recorded by @YemenData in October were children, marking the worst month for child harm in Saudi bombings since August 2018 and the seventh worst month on record for child casualties in air dropped bombs.

Such a fun conversation. Wish we could’ve talked for another hour. Akbar and I barely scratched the surface.
Books are magic, and so was this conversation with @AkbarSAhmed and @rozina_ali about their books, both of which are so timely that I can basically just reply to any tweet nowadays with a photo of either book cover

One thing the new Congress can do is revisit the law that criminalizes "material support for terrorism"--which civil rights lawyers have long criticized for being so broad that it could be used to criminalize dissent.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is considering an executive order that would list some nonprofit organizations as having terrorist ties, a move that would immediately suspend their tax-exempt status and cripple their operations. Officials are reviewing an arcane law that would allow President Trump to use an untested part of the tax code and write an executive order declaring groups linked to terrorism. Those groups would then automatically lose their coveted tax-exempt status. Story w/ @RichardRubinDC wsj.com/politics/policy/trum…
