    I listened to the Deprogram episode with Lady Izdihar last night (she's a muslim who specializes in USSR history) and she talked a little about her history as a worker for a Democratic candidate. Apparently the team she was with wanted to celebrate winning a lawsuit against an anti-Muslim Trump policy by... going to a bar.

      Maybe it's because it's late and I'm tired, but I don't see why that would be noteworthy.

        Intentional consumption of alcohol is haram, presumably they hadn't considered that by going to a bar to celebrate they'd effectively barred any Muslim colleagues from joining them.
