It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically. Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country. Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case. Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve. In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota. The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Her family don’t care about that celebrity shit I’m weak 😭😭😭😭

Now this is one of the importance of phone... the other day a man was accused of assault, thank God it caught in camera. that's how the man would have been convicted

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Ce père partage la garde de sa fille. L'école organise un bal père-fille et il souhaite y emmener sa fille depuis deux ans, mais c'est toujours le week-end où son ex-femme l'a et elle trouve des excuses pour l'en empêcher. La belle-mère savait à quel point cela contrariait le père, alors elle lui a dit de porter un costume en rentrant du travail et d'apporter des fleurs car elle lui réservait une surprise. À son retour, sa fille l'accueillit vêtue d'une robe de soirée. Non seulement sa femme lui avait offert une robe, mais elle avait aussi préparé des amuse-gueules et décoré la maison pour l'occasion. Êtes-vous d'accord pour dire que les parents divorcés ne devraient pas s'empêcher mutuellement de vivre ces précieux moments avec leurs enfants ?

It is so blatant now. Yet they still don’t get it. That even their own racism was created for them by the wealthy to keep them poor. Will they ever get it?

When they claim Black people never invented anything. This list is nothing compared to all we’ve done. And there’s no telling how many inventions and improvements were stolen due to racism. #BlackInventions #BlackHistory #BlackPeople #BlackBrilliance

¡Genial!

Lmao. This was fun 🤣

I love how she just walks away too 😂

A female student did not turn down the marriage proposal of a boy with Down syndrome who liked her, so as not to embarrass him in front of the whole school, and she danced with him. 👏

@keanublessed @FxieHalloween13 @JDVanceNewsX They don’t need the month but apparently we do because society marginalizes anyone who doesn’t do what the masses do or even looks like them hence black history month. If we were normally an inclusive society then no one would need a month for anything.

Sadly very true and very disturbing.
