Ugh, I read about this (and others) yesterday & today. The MUslims have been living in that community for decades, and now they’re suddenly a threat?

You read about this happening in other places—people who’ve been neighbors for years & years (sometimes even generations) suddenly turning on each other. We’re getting a real life demonstration of exactly how that happens, thanks to the GOP’s candidates.

I can’t tell you how disgusting it is to watch fellow Americans behave that way.

There is a mosque in my neighborhood in Middle GA [Macon.] It’s within walking distance of my house. There has never been a problem at the mosque or with any Muslim in the entire city! I know quite a few of them, and they’re some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They’re much nicer, and more accepting of my having been born black, than a lot of others who live here. I can talk to them about things that I can’t, or won’t, or refuse, to talk about with others here. I wouldn’t label any of them a “terrorist.” I see them the same way I see myself—-persons who want to make something of their and their kids’ lives and who want to live in peace. People who communicate with each other can find common ground, but if you refuse to talk to those who are different from yourself, it’s easy to stereotype and scapegoat them because all you know about them is what your “gut” tells you, which is oftentimes wrong. It’s like saying you don’t like quiche and you’ve never eaten it.

Detroit Local Powers First EV Charging Road in North America The road, about a mile from Local 58's hall, uses rubber-coated copper inductive-charging coils buried under the asphalt that transfer power to a receiver pad attached to a car's underbelly, much like how a phone can be charged wirelessly. ...
