I hate making angry phone calls, I hate engaging with these ghouls, I’m sure you do too, but: it’s a beautiful day to call Gillibrand’s office, especially if you’re one of her constituents, and express your outrage at her hideous Islamophobia and outright lies. NYC office: (212) 688-6262

I hate to do this, but please subscribe to Defector if you do not. It's a good value, and doing important, full-newsroom coverage of vital and under-reported stories like this is expensive. I happen to believe it's worth it.
