Rashida Tlaib✓

Magically found $768,000,000,000 for a defense budget, but the same folks can't fully fund the $45- $60 billion needed to remove lead service lines in our country.

RT @jeremyslevin: Hipster coffee shop in Grand Rapids has an Abdul latte. It’s over.

RT @RepRashida: We’re saying NO to the “permitting reform” deal. Despite broad disgust with data centers & pipelines, the deal guts key laws to accelerate dirty energy projects. It fails to protect us from soaring energy costs & pollution. Congress must reject this gift to Big Oil & Big Tech.

RT @BernieSanders: Thank you to all the Members of Congress and candidates who have chipped in to support Abdul: @RashidaTlaib @RoKhanna @MartinHeinrich @TinaSmithMN @JeffMerkley @ChrisVanHollen @GregCasar @IlhanMN @PramilaJayapal @AyannaPressley @AnaliliaForNJ @HamawyForNJ @bradlander @MelatKirosCO

RT @RepRashida: I’m telling mass surveillance technology to get the flock out of here. My new bill, the Get the Flock Out of Our Communities Act, is the only bill in Congress designed to completely prohibit the use of automated mass surveillance technology, including biometric surveillance systems and facial recognition technology.

RT @CoriBush: Glad to see @60Minutes reporting on this rn. When I was there in the West Bank a few days ago, the Hilltop Youth showed up in every village we traveled to. The intimidation, harassment, and violence from these invaders are rampant & funded by the government. They must be stopped.

60 Minutes’ Lesley Stahl joins a Palestinian family as they try to reach their home in the West Bank. Young Israeli settlers known as Hilltop Youth run down the hill and physically block the family from entering. Editor's note: In compliance with Israeli law, 60 Minutes is obscuring the faces of underage participants in these actions.

DHS raiding a member of congress's home is exactly what a fascist police state does. This president should not be able to weaponize the federal government against political enemies. I stand with Ilhan.

RT @TVietor08: DHS raiding a member of congress's home to search for immigration paperwork filled out decades ago by her now-deceased father really checks all the fascist police state boxes.

RT @RepRashida: The people of Puerto Rico are suffering from water and electricity crises as a result of their status as a U.S. colony. They’re being exploited. I will always fight against colonialism and demand Puerto Ricans' right to self-determination.

Democracy Now! correspondent Juan Carlos Dávila reports from Puerto Rico as the island grapples with a severe water crisis. This July was the driest on record in more than 120 years, accompanied by record-breaking heat.

RT @DarializaforNY: Yesterday, an ICE agent opened fire in Marble Hill. They shot a member of our community in the neck while he was in his car. His five-year-old kid was in a child seat in the back of the car when ICE agents fired at least 7 rounds into it. This was in the middle of the afternoon, with children walking home from school and people heading home from work. Federal agents put every one of them in danger. When I was in Marble Hill last night I saw NYPD officers rapidly escalating violence. As I was trying to de-escalate, I was shoved to the ground by an officer. I witnessed unmarked law enforcement cars hitting protestors as NYPD officers pushed people out of its path. And instead of condemning ICE’s violence, Police Commissioner Tisch attempted to justify the shooting by reading off our neighbor’s past interactions with police. The NYPD spent more time protecting a militia that just shot someone than protecting New Yorkers. Last night, the NYPD and Commissioner Tisch violated the spirit, if not the letter, of our sanctuary city policies and fueled the Trump Administration’s attempt to demonize our communities. The NYPD’s Strategic Response Group must be disbanded as quickly as possible, and Commissioner Tisch must step down. In this district, there are mothers who are afraid to send their kids to school, workers who are afraid to show up for their shifts, and people who won’t call for help anymore because they can’t be sure who will come. That’s what it means to have a violent militia operating in your community. You don’t feel safe walking down your own street.  For decades, we’ve been told ICE can be fixed with more oversight, better training, or reform. But you can’t reform an agency whose purpose is to terrorize immigrant families. You can’t train cruelty out of a system built to enact cruelty. ICE must be abolished. This moment demands that everyone step up. Elected officials at every level need to stop hedging and say it plainly: Abolish ICE now. Our city must enforce every sanctuary protection we have and city officials must ensure this cannot happen again.

RT @RepRashida: Free Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi. They’ve been held in inhumane conditions without medical attention, and both have reported significant eye damage. No one should be treated this way. I stand with the thousands of protestors marching in Pakistan demanding their release. The people of Pakistan deserve free and fair elections.

Thousands of Imran Khan supporters start march to Pakistani capital, party says

RT @RepRashida: Governor Whitmer’s administration is now in the weapons business. When small businesses, many of them Black- and women-owned, are struggling in our state, there never seems to be money for them, but Gov. Whitmer has funding for bombs that kill children.

RT @AbdulElSayed: It is my honor and privilege to announce that President @BarackObama is joining us on the trail in Detroit on Saturday, October 24. Get. Ready.

RT @DebbiAlmontaser: Join Rep. @RashidaTlaib and me tomorrow for Rank MI Qahwa, a conversation on ranked choice voting and what it could mean for Michigan. ☕ 🗓️ Tue, Oct 6, 6–8 PM 📍 Shibam Coffee, Dearborn

RT @CraigDMauger: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has appointed Trevor Lauer, vice chairman of DTE Energy, to the Natural Resources Commission.

💔 Rep. Ilhan Omar shares her story about have a miscarriage

So happy for you LaMonica!

She’s here! We just welcomed our beautiful baby girl and words can’t describe how blessed my family feels. Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I’m beyond grateful. Thank you, everyone, for your love and support. It means the world 💕💕

RT @RepRashida: US citizens murdered by the Israeli apartheid regime since 2022: Omar Assad Shireen Abu Akleh Tawfic Abdel Jabbar Mohammad Khdour Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi Amer Rabee Sayfollah Kamel Musallet Khamis Ayyad Nasrallah Abu Siyam Meanwhile, our government keeps sending weapons. Enough. The Senate must pass Sen. @ChrisVanHollen's accountability resolution this week.

We are out here working hard to elect @AbdulElSayed. I am so inspired that I will finally be able to vote for a MI senate candidate who supports Medicare for All, ending endless wars, stop funding the genocide the Palestinian people + protecting our water and air. #MedicareforAll #FreePalestine

RT @NYCMayor: Last night I planted an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families from Gaza.  May peace be our future.

RT @NidaAllam: Normalize not committing a genocide.

Normalize saying “I don’t know enough about this.”

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

RT @IlhanMN: Like so many women, I’ve experienced a miscarriage. Years ago, when my doctor couldn’t find a heartbeat, I was given medication to help me through it. I was grateful to have access to the care I needed during an incredibly difficult time. That’s why protecting access to mifepristone and medication abortion matters. These medications are an essential part of medical care, including during miscarriage. No woman should have to navigate an experience like this without the care and choices she needs.
