@esaagar @ZaidJilaniS @krystalballh @TulsiGabbarde literally said she signed up to fight the war on terror! She wasn’t 8 years old FFS.

AOC was born in the Bronx; Ayanna Pressley in Cincinnati; Rashida Tlaib in Detroit. Your regular reminder that the president of the United States is not just a brazen racist but the laziest and most unoriginal (‘go back to where you came from’) of racists:
Just got an email from my kid’s school saying they had their ‘lockdown’ drill today. You know schools in other countries don’t do this, right? You know other countries don’t scar entire generations of kids to appease the gun lobby, right? This. Is. Not. Normal.
I don’t have a view whether Kashmir should be part of India, Pakistan, or independent. That should be left to the Kashmiris. I do have a view on Kashmiris being shot, blinded, sexually assaulted, illegally detained, & cut off from the world - it’s an outrage. #StandwithKashmir
They’re trying to get Ilhan Omar killed. It’s that simple.
