🧵Over the last few weeks, far-right trolls have escalated a bigoted campaign under the guise of defending Jews, Israel, and Americans — leading to the suspension of visas for nearly all Palestinian passport holders, dangerous attacks on Muslim federal employees, and more. 1/
Last month, following a push from far-right extremist Laura Loomer, the State Dept. paused visa approvals for Palestinians from Gaza seeking medical care. Now it appears to have been expanded into a de facto ban on nearly all Palestinian passport holders. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w... 2/
Meanwhile, Loomer has also been driving an Islamophobic campaign targeting Muslim American federal employees. I'm not going to share the posts but you can imagine how dangerous and disgusting they are. 3/
