The fact that we are still trying to make lynching illegal at the federal law is telling of where we are in our country.

The NY Post knows exactly what it's doing - taking quotes out of context and evoking painful imagery to spread hate and endangering the life of Rep. Omar. Shame on them, and shame on Rupert Murdoch.

This really happened. I am U.S. Congresswoman. Not bad for a girl from southwest Detroit who didn't speak English, daughter of Palestinian immigrants. #13thDistrictStrong : You helped change Congress forever. Now, let's get to work to change our neighborhoods. #rootedincommunity

$1800 in total direct relief. That's $163 a month. At least $2.2 trillion for major corporations so far. We are supposed to represent people in need, not corporate greed. Time to get our priorities straight. $2000 recurring survival checks now.

The GOP complain about ๐Ÿ˜ท wearing a mask โ›” going through a metal detector ๐Ÿ—ณ proxy voting They never complain about their own lies that has led to white supremacists threatening their colleagues or their lawless chief executive. This is what ultimate privilege looks like.

The hardest part of serving in Congress as a WOC & as a "first" is how people hear you differently. No matter how much we take on the hate & stay true to who we are through our experiences, our voices are shushed and reduced. We aren't perfect, but neither is this institution.

This was intentional. You don't accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, "It was a mistake." Genocidal maniac Netanyahu told us he wants to ethically cleanse Palestinians. When are you going to believe him @POTUS ?

Dire warning from @UNReliefChief : "I fear that the worst is yet to come... The past week has been a test for humanity & humanity is failing." World leaders must act to protect civilians from large scale atrocities before it's too late.

Contrary to Barrโ€™s portrayal, Muellerโ€™s report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment.

You know what's not helpful? Sending bombs to be used for war crimes and killing thousands of children. You know what's not helpful? Attacking a sitting U.S. Congressmember, while the org you are defending is funding anti-abortion and insurrectionists candidates.
