You will remember Rep. Rashida Tlaib's "Impeach the motherfucker" during a party celebrating her election in 2018. You should also remember that in 2016, along with 12 other women, she disrupted a speech Trump was giving in Detroit.

I wrote about it here in this essay on the importance of Reps. Tlaib and Ilhan Omar's election to the US Congress nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…
Tlaib and Omar are congresswoman who can use their position of power to force onto the agenda what for too long U.S. politicians ignored. As well as being the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, they question power unaccustomed to being disturbed. zora.medium.com/trumps-incitem…
These are women whose very existence says they refuse to stay in their appointed place. feministgiant.com/p/essay-aoc-th…
And that is why the white supremacist fascists of the GOP Trump Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are obsessed with and have positioned themselves as the "anti-Squad." feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…
In September, Greene posted on her candidate Facebook page an image of herself holding a gun alongside images of Reps. AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib and encouraged going on the "offense against these socialists." cnn.com/2020/09/04/pol…
After her primary victory, Boebert said in an interview that she was “the antidote to the Squad.” She said she’s tired of no one challenging AOC’s agenda. feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…
And that is why AOC's Instagram Live and the testimonies in the House that she organized are so important - to say that white supremacist terror - be it on Jan. 6 or the day to day - must be held accountable. Listen to Rep. Cori Bush
