“I came to #Detroit because it is safe and less busy. When I came here I saw that there are very nice people, like #Muslim people; they are together and aid each other. They help you. There are a lot of #African people and people from other countries. That’s why I stayed here.” #ArabAmericanNews #Michigan #Senegal #Africa #Immigration https://arabamericannews.com/2026/01/03/resilient-neighborhoods-senegalese-immigrants-find-community-of-support-in-west-detroit/

I'm currently undecided about #Michigan's 2026 gubernatorial election. Most #DemocraticParty candidates seem to be middle-of-the-road, go with the flow, off-the-shelf milquetoast. But #GarlinGilchrist is starting to make some waves. #Politics #USPol #ArabAmericanNews #Vote2026 https://arabamericannews.com/2025/10/17/arab-american-community-hosts-fundraiser-in-dearborn-for-lt-gov-garlin-gilchrists-gubernatorial-campaign/

#AbdulElSayed: “My point is, forget the donors for a minute. Go talk to people. Ask them about the challenges in their life. Talk to those problems and say it like you mean it. And if you do that, that’s how you ignite the fight.” #USPol #Politics #Michigan #Democrats #ArabAmericanNews #Vote2026 cc: @abdulelsayed https://arabamericannews.com/2025/04/18/abdul-el-sayed-announces-candidacy-for-u-s-senate-seat-being-vacated-by-sen-gary-peters/

Another Democratic candidate I hadn't heard of. Sounds like someone worth supporting. #KatAbughazaleh #Democrats #Illinois #USPol #ArabAmericanNews #Palestine https://arabamericannews.com/2025/04/01/palestinian-american-youtuber-kat-abughazaleh-announces-congressional-run/

If he runs, I'll be voting for him. #Michigan #Vote2026 #AbdulElSayed #Vote2026 #ArabAmericanNews #USPol cc: @abdulelsayed https://arabamericannews.com/2025/02/07/abdul-el-sayed-considers-a-2026-run-for-u-s-senate/

I hope this doesn't happen -- I'm still voting for Harris -- but after the way they've been treated I can't blame them: "A late August poll released by #CAIR shows 29.1 percent of Muslim voters plan to vote for Green Party candidate Jill Stein, while 19.4 percent plan to vote for Harris, 11.3 percent plan to vote for Trump, 16.5 percent are undecided and 8.8 percent don’t plan to vote at all." #USPol #Vote2024 #Politics #ArabAmericanNews https://arabamericannews.com/2024/09/13/the-intensity-of-the-race-to-the-white-house-strengthens-the-electoral-voice-of-arabs-and-muslims-in-michigan/

Get your votes in, #Michigan! This is a good guide, I strongly agree with their endorsement of #HillHarper for Senate. Disagree with their choice for #Washtenaw county sheriff, I've already voted for #AlyshiaDyer. Most of the other candidates here weren't on my ballot but they might be on yours. Polls close at 8PM tomorrow. #Detroit #ArabAmericanNews #AAPAC #USPol #Vote2024 #VoteBlue https://arabamericannews.com/2024/08/02/these-candidates-deserve-your-votes-in-the-august-6-primary-election/

Strongly agree with their endorsement of #HillHarper for Senate. Disagree with their choice for #Washtenaw county sheriff, I'll be voting for #AlyshiaDyer. Most of the rest of the names are outside of my area and won't be on my ballot, so don't know much about them. August 6 is the deadline, get yr votes in! #Michigan #Detroit #ArabAmericanNews #AAPAC #USPol #Vote2024 #VoteBlue https://arabamericannews.com/2024/07/26/aapac-announces-list-of-endorsed-candidates-for-the-august-6-primary-elections-urges-arab-american-voters-to-turn-out-in-large-numbers/

"#HillHarper has also taken the time to meet with the #ArabAmerican and #Muslim communities, join them during their celebrations and has taken the time to answer their questions on multiple forums. This is why #EmgagePAC, #AAPAC and others have endorsed him." #Michigan #ArabAmericanNews #Vote2024 #VoteBlue #ElissaSlotkin https://arabamericannews.com/2024/07/19/in-the-august-6-primary-election-vote-for-the-anti-war-democratic-candidate-for-u-s-senate-hill-harper/

#HillHarper has my vote: “We cannot participate in allowing our tax dollars to fund any types of human rights atrocities and/or genocide anywhere in the world. And anytime we see it, we have to call it for what it is and we have to act quickly and swiftly… I truly believe there’s no good war and there’s no bad peace. We have to lead on peace.” #Michigan #Vote2024 #VoteBlue #ArabAmericanNews #CeasefireNow https://arabamericannews.com/2024/07/05/hill-harper-to-compete-with-elissa-slotkin-for-u-s-senate-in-the-democratic-primary-on-august-6/

#Biden White House team meets with #ArabAmerican and #Muslim leaders in #Michigan: “I relayed the emotions and the concerns of our community, and we gave them tangible steps. We want to see a permanent #ceasefire. We want to be able to see restrictions and conditions on any military aid that is sent to #Israel. And we want to see the United States take a serious commitment towards rebuilding #Gaza.” #Palestine #ArabAmericanNews #JoeBiden #Biden2024 #BidenHarris2024 https://arabamericannews.com/2024/02/09/biden-white-house-team-meets-with-arab-american-and-muslim-leaders-in-michigan/

“The dissatisfaction with President Biden is really quite significant. His numbers are dangerously low. More so than I have ever seen for a Democratic candidate. I don’t know how you get that back easily. I don’t expect them to be voting for Trump, but it will take something to get them to the polls in the first place.” #Politics #USPolitics #JoeBiden #Palestine #Israel #ArabAmericanNews https://arabamericannews.com/2023/10/31/new-poll-finds-arab-american-support-for-biden-plummeting/

"On Tuesday, a group of about 40 multiracial #Christian, #Jewish, and #Muslim faith leaders and activists occupied House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ Rayburn office to lead a pray-in for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as the only moral choice." #Ceasefire #Palestine #Gaza #Israel #ArabAmericanNews https://arabamericannews.com/2023/10/24/40-faith-leaders-activists-hold-a-pray-in-at-house-minority-leader-hakeem-jeffries-office-calling-for-an-mmediate-ceasefire-in-gaza/

“This scene stands as proof that one day a simple person was capable of saying no to that arrogant person with all his power, tyranny, arms, media, money and authority, and to say that you (Bush) were wrong.” #IraqWar #Iraq #Bush43 #Militarism #ArabAmericanNews https://arabamericannews.com/2023/03/28/no-regrets-from-the-iraqi-who-threw-his-shoes-at-bush/

“The U.N. General Assembly has approved a resolution to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, a term used to describe the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the lead-up to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948.”

“The U.N. also voted in favor of renaming a journalism training program after Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian journalist who was killed by Israeli forces.”
