The owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Shad Khan- a Muslim American, stood alongside his players this morning. According to the @nytimes: "During the playing of the national anthem, Khan locked arms with tight end Marcedes Lewis and linebacker Telvin Smith, both of whom are black, on the sidelines to show unity with his players who are trying to highlight social injustice and police brutality against African-Americans." Swipe left to see Khan's official statement about Trump. #taketheknee #takeaknee #takeakneenfl #nfl #football #desi #muslim #pakistani #politics #racism #equality #kaepernick #jacksonville #jaguars
Speaker Straus faced lots of opposition this past legislative session for blocking the bathroom bill, supporting public education and essentially going against the Lt. Gov. at every turn. On the floor his face is stoic so it was fun to listen to his thoughts on the political drama unfolding in Texas. #TribFest17 #ttf #ttf17 #straus #satx #WiseUp #podcast #blogpost #politicalnews #politics #news #blogging #blog #voting #vote #america #atx #austin #potd #podcasting #election #desi #southasian #hindu #sikh #muslim #texas #txlege
Legit had a HOOT listening to Senator Franken open for the Texas Tribune festival! The line that garnered the most laughs was: "When most people think of a cruise full of shit, people think Carnival, Congress thinks of Ted Cruz." 📸: @texas_tribune #TribFest17 #ttf #ttf17 #alfranken #snl #WiseUp #podcast #blogpost #politicalnews #politics #news #blogging #blog #voting #vote #america #atx #austin #potd #podcasting #election #desi #southasian #hindu #sikh #muslim #texas #txlege
If you think the repeal of DACA will not impact the South Asian community around you, you are SO wrong. In fact, the repeal of DACA will impact thousands of Desis! Saba Nafees, a DACA recipient, was kind enough to share her story about what it means to be a Dreamer and how President Trump's latest executive order detrimentally impacts her.

We couldn't agree more! Many South Asian Americans will be detrimentally impacted by this as well. We especially loved Obama's last paragraph in his response to Trump's repeal of DACA.

We are aware many places are accepting clothing or food donations but we HIGHLY recommend donating cash to the charities mentioned above. Charities are often better served by monetary donations rather than specific items, because organizations can get bulk discounts when they order themselves. Cash donations are almost always preferred over items — such as blankets, clothing and stuffed animals — often sent into overwhelmed disaster areas by well-meaning donors. Nonprofit groups say in this case that they're also preparing for an extremely long recovery, and that the needs almost certainly will change over time. Finally, it's always best to donate LOCAL! #WiseUp #podcast #blogpost #politicalnews #hurricaneharvey #news #blogging #donate #harvey #america #cctx #sanantonio #potd #podcasting #hurricane #desi #southasian #hindu #sikh #muslim #texas #txlege #local #houston #disaster #flooding #diapers #food
