Representative Omar is being interviewed by Brianna Kielar, and she's very impressive....

....and articulate in countering trump's latest tirade against immigrants.

Well worth looking up on youtube later today or tomorrow.

Among the things she said was (paraphrasing): "He should remember that his mother and grandfather were immigrants, and four of his children have mothers who are immigrants. He's upset only with immigrants who look like me."

Honor them in their name & you may join their trail of the fight for human rights, deserved dignity & recognition.

That long trail of women gave you the right to be seated in the House & the right to speak with your own voice, against the marks of such indignity..

Name them, join them, honor them because you too stand on the path they travelled.

Its is a collective voice thru the ages Rep Omar.
You are one of them.
Say their names.

The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.” – Gloria Steinem

This is just 12. The list is long & grows every time a woman is mocked, demeaned, boo'd & publicly damned for simply standing for her right to be equal.
