To get through it, I leaned on my religious practice, my supportive family and friends, travel and retail indulgences, and therapy. Being able to talk to a professional in a confidential, non-judgmental space was critical. — PolitiTweet.org

Amid all of that, I had to fundraise to sustain and grow our work as we headed toward the 2016 election, recruit new and support existing staff, speak at local masajid and events about our work, and determine how I would pay nearly double my current rent by myself. — PolitiTweet.org

In just four days, the Trump team launched its #MuslimBan campaign promise, attempts to reconcile my marriage ended, my favorite uncle suddenly passed away, and @CAIRSFBA received an anthrax threat that led to the emergency evacuation of and health scares of our staff. — PolitiTweet.org

If you want to support its access in the Muslim community, you will give to @KhalilCenter to empower them to serve even more people. — PolitiTweet.org

wasn’t sure I’d survive. However, #TherapyHelped and I strongly recommend it. It is my hope and prayer that if you’re considering it, you will go. If you are ashamed of it, you will take comfort in knowing I go. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Though I am not celebrating today, I am grateful for @VetsAboutFace, @codepink, and others who are working to stop our wars and the destruction they bring. Their work aligns most with the intentions of the original #MemorialDay celebrations than any parade or sale ever could. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
We should have this conversation every day. If you know me though, you know that this is precisely what I do - I speak out against our wars, every day and at every opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Could we have this conversation on another day? For sure, because having it today for a number if years has meant that I both face death threats from people who claim to have fought for my liberty and their friends. Do you see the irony? — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Are all of our troops who engaged in armed conflict dishonorable? No. There are so many who have come back and apologized, blown the whistle, and committed themselves to working for change. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
For those troops who died not engaged in an illegal or immoral armed conflict, there is nonetheless no honor. We could debate whether or not there is dishonor, but it’s absence can also simply be neutral and not honorable. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Don’t disrespect the dead, some would say. Speaking of their crimes, is not the same as a personal attack or a character assassination. Speaking of their crimes is speaking out against injustice and cautioning others from following in their footsteps. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
In the end, my rights come from God Almighty and are a consequence of where he decreed my birth. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Our liberty is most often actually compromised because of and during wars. The War on Terror is the obvious current example. The rights Americans have today were hard earned despite our wars, in the streets, in the courts, and through legislative efforts. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Some would say that we should celebrate the holiday because our rights are a direct outcome of the wars. “Honor the people who fought for your liberty,” they say. None of the wars of the last century have made me or you any freer. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Even then, if putting on a uniform wasn’t a choice one could control, picking up a gun was. If picking up a gun wasn’t a choice one could control, surely firing it was. At some point, I have to take ownership of my choices. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
It is indeed true that some people have more choices than others. It is also true those people with fewer choices may end up in the military because it is their only option, it is their only way out. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Individuals who join the military, may be fighting someone else’s wars, but that is a choice they are making. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Each of us makes a choice, which job we’ll accept, which instructions we will take, which consequences we will risk for our morality. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
I understand that this is painful all around. We want to blame policy makers and warmongers. I agree we should. This doesn’t however absolve us of individual responsibility. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
Our troops are actively engaged in violence against civilians in #Afghanistan, #Iraq, #Pakistan, the #Philippines, #Somalia, and #Yemen to name a few. Many of us are continually praying that Iran isn’t added to that list. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
It’s difficult however to disregard that nearly the entire past century has been filled with our country’s imperialist invasions, terrorizing much of the rest of the world. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
The holiday’s origin has resonance for sure, honoring fallen Union soldiers in the Civil War. Putting aside that the Civil War wasn’t perfect, a direct consequence of it was the end of chattel slavery in the United States. — PolitiTweet.org
Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo
did not and does not celebrate #MemorialDay. There cannot be any honor earned through participation in dishonorable wars. — PolitiTweet.org

Ramadan blessings. @MCABayArea is where I come on my night off. — PolitiTweet.org
