Targeting immigrants does nothing to achieve economic justice and only further marginalizes and dehumanizes our immigrant communities. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
It is also blatant attempt to pit communities of color and immigrants against one another. The Proclamation exploits the record levels of unemployment caused by the pandemic, to restrict immigration under the guise of protecting workers and minorities. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
The @realDonaldTrump admin issued a Proclamation expanding immigration restrictions in a broad attempt to further its xenophobic agenda. This is an attempted distraction from the failure to adequately respond to the #coronavirus pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

More often than not though we don’t know how much time we have left with our loved ones, we do know it is so very limited. Remembering this right now is helping me put things in context so that I am letting go of the trivial and loving dearly. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Allah’s mercy manifested in Fiasco’s transition in so many ways. One of them was that as short notice as it was, I knew when it would happen. I had time to love him, focus on him, and prioritize his happiness. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
His time was limited and I loved him dearly, so he could do what he wanted. Spilled flowers, wet floors, and even if he broke the vase, it would be ok. Life and death put things in context. What matters everyday seems so trivial when we remember that we have such limited time. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
At the time, I already knew in my heart of hearts, that it was likely these were my last few hours with him. Ordinarily I might have been frustrated that he was potentially about to replicate the mess I had just cleaned up. But I was not this time. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
As I cleaned up the mess, Fiasco watched. When I placed the vase back up on the shelf with fresh water, I turned to finish cleaning the floor. He didn’t hesitate. He jumped up on the shelf to investigate, tip toeing around the precariously balanced flowers and small surface. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
It turned out these flowers I had sloppily arranged had tipped over. The vase didn’t break Alhamdulillah but there was water and broken petals everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
I was asleep with Fiasco in nestled in the crook of my arm on Tuesday morning when I heard a loud crash. The sound woke me up. It couldn’t have been Fiasco’s shenanigans since he was with me. https://t.co/KPb39VVwoa — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @CAGovernor for $125M in relief for immigrant families! @BobWieckowskiCA @KansenChu this is a crucial emergency stopgap, but only a week's income for a fraction of CA's undocumented workers. We need legislature to create a #safetynet4allofus! https://t.co/B7oH2Ssqb4 — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Fiasco’s last memory will be of me holding him. Finding the words is hard. Fighting the tears is harder. I take comfort in knowing Allah’s love and mercy are vast. For as much as I adored him, it was a fraction of his closeness to Allah. May we be reunited in the best of places. — PolitiTweet.org

He was seen off to the veterinarian by half a dozen of his aunties and several of his favorite nieces and nephews. Countless more of you prayed. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
He cleaned himself. He could barely eat, but his coat looked shiny and soft. He inspired me to dress up to go out with him today. My parents called and cried on video with him, with us. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
I was fortunately too late to try something drastic and painful and unlikely to succeed, which would cause him more pain. I was also fortunately early enough to be able to see him through with dignity, before he suffered too long from the cancer or starvation. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Delaying the inevitable might seem to help me but it would hurt him. I could not bear that. I kept wishing I had found out earlier, but there was mercy in the timing. I found out after having nearly a full month at home with him. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
He was doing his best to be his old self even this morning. He was jumping on shelves to investigate things and the counters to play. But he was slowing down, sleeping more, meowing at his food and then walking away from it with his head hung low. Hungry but unable to eat. — PolitiTweet.org
