Thread: Last month House Reps made a big deal about standing against hate. Now they sit silent about this vile and dangerous attack leveled at Rep. Ilhan Omar. Trump linking her to 9/11 only sends one message. Denouncing hate is for moments like this.

Find your Rep and demand they publicly denounce the vitriol and attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar. They are playing a dangerous game and her life is at stake. The posturing and twisting of her words and intent over the past few months leads us to this moment. bit.ly/CallRepsforIlh…

I once again share this piece form @Dr_Maha_Hilal putting current islamaphobia in context of the war on terror. Linking Ilhan with the imagery of 9/11 is dangerous and intentional. #StopWhiteSupremacy thinkprogress.org/new-zealand-mo…
There is no both sides to this. There is no discussing or coming to a middle ground. These people are literally signaling for the violent factions to escalate in a way we saw claim lives just last month in NZ.
Early this week a mockery was made of the scourge that is white supremacy and the rising threat that is the white nationalist flame the so called president stokes is clear in this attack on Rep Omar.
Disinformation that we have seen around Rep Ilhan and the distortion of her words, meaning and intent has been is dangerous. It is emblematic of the serious problem we have with domestic disinformation and chaos agents including the person holding the title of President.
While social media has expanded our ability to reach and engage more people faster, it has exposed us to greater harm in the form of bad actors operating in bad faith who seek to undermine everything we hope to achieve by pushing this country forward. I’m tired.
