Ilhan Omar’s American Dream Is Strong Enough for These Times Thirty years after she came to the US, the Minnesota representative keeps the faith in an America that will ultimately reject the divisive politics of Trump and his minions.

Trump is an overpaid public servant. I believe this is to deviate attention. Gotta know he can't win. It's why he hates women. We're tougher than him.

Women should be all in, with Trump trying to squash our voting rights. #WomenInCongress #WomenInSenate #WomenOfSCOTUS, #WomenInMilitary, etc. We are everywhere. And we're rarely silent.

More!?
So, The #WomenInCongress
HAVE MORE FORTITUDE
Than the #Broligarchy GOP!?
#Bro!?

Love this! ❤️🤍💛🖤
