A joyful moment of two people embracing tightly. Nour Halabi, wearing a checkered outfit, smiles broadly with her eyes closed as she hugs an event attendee, conveying warmth and connection.

"Democrats who have vowed to vote “no” on Mangi’s confirmation are openly giving credence to Islamophobia, calling into question what the party actually stands for."

This Is a Crucial Moment to Stand Up to Islamophobia. Instead, Democrats Are Caving.

Republicans have made Mangi the target of a baseless smear campaign. Democrats are letting it happen.

They used a writers festival hosted by departments of experts in writing and the Middle East as the excuse to cynically frame their motivation as about antisemitism. They harassed faculty and students and argued in fallacies. Students have told me they feel *this* made antisemitism worse on campus.
