@Turbo_7w7@VorosTwins Maybe… or maybe you just don’t live with a disability or have anyone around you who does and so you are just privileged enough not to have to think about it. Analyze that and make the necessary changes to keep learning. You got this bro
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.
@some_fella968 I don’t think you’re a bad person, I just know that I would feel very disrespected and undervalued for my feelings/opinions by something like this. Call me a sensitive loser if you want, that’s just my take on things. ✨
@some_fella968 I think where you’re the asshole is in the blow up you’re assuming they accepted your first apology to begin with, and it feels very entitled to their feelings. Also the blow up itself cheapens your first apology because it makes it sound like you only apologized to make them—
@some_fella968 —happy again and not leave you. I think you can learn and grow for this experience, but I wouldn’t hold your breath for this person to come back any time soon.
@Neptuneee123345@desi0re Truly, and I do speak from experience on this. There are always times where everyone can get a bit disrespectful, even on accident, but it’s about realizing that and coming back with a true apology, bringing the respect back to them. ✨
@anasaunche@desi0re Like I said, I think they should break up and see different people. Theres way too much resentment built up by both parties, it seems.
