Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib

Unapologetic Congresswoman fighting for justice for all. Proudly representing Michigan’s 12th District in the People’s House.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

There is no justification for murdering a one-year-old baby.

Kohen Wiley should still be alive today, but a police officer stole his future.

It’s outrageous that the Mississippi AG refused to prosecute him.

There must be justice for Kohen & his family. End police violence.

I am outraged and heartbroken. Precious one-year-old Kohen Wiley was murdered by police. I am holding the family and community in my prayers, and I stand with those demanding justice and accountability. The police violence terrorizing our communities must end. https://t.co/QhbrHsR3wm

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.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

THIS is the People’s Movement!

Inkster residents flooded a city council meeting to make sure their voices were heard: no AI data centers! They pollute our environment & increase our energy bills.

The people of Inkster spoke loud and clear and defeated this data center!

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Walmart claims it prices products, not people–but this is literally us in their parking lot demanding that they stop price gouging.

Walmart’s surveillance technology allows them to use your sensitive personal information against you to raise prices. That’s outrageous.

The Stop Price Gouging in Grocery Stores Act bans corporate price gouging and surveillance pricing.

.@MahmoudKhalel is taking the fight for our rights to the Supreme Court.

The Trump administration tried to silence him for speaking out against genocide. Now, Mahmoud is fighting for our free speech and to defend every immigrant who has been unjustly targeted by ICE.

[Mahmoud Khalil | محمود خليل @mahmoudkhalel]

Today, I asked the Supreme Court to affirm that federal courts have the power to hear my case.

The government knows all too well that its baseless allegations and smears against me cannot survive the slightest scrutiny in federal court. That’s why it is doing everything it can to keep those courts from looking at my case and to channel it into its kangaroo immigration courts.

So the question is simple: can the government weaponize immigration laws to punish someone's speech, then tell federal courts they have no power to step in?

If the answer is yes, none of our speech is safe. If the Trump administration can punish someone for pro-Palestine speech, this or any future administration can punish anyone for any speech.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

This month, and every month, we must stand with survivors and fight for the resources, protections, and accountability they deserve.

If you or someone you love needs support, you are not alone. Call the Michigan Domestic Violence Hotline at 855-864-2374 for confidential assistance and resources.

The Trump admin bombed civilians in Yemen last year, and is currently trying to give the Saudi monarchy billions of dollars in bombs and jets to continue the devastation.

The State Dept. warns against any travel to Yemen—yet Trump wants to send our neighbors back.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

TPS for Yemen must be restored.

I’m proud to represent a district home to a large Yemeni community. I will not turn my back on them.

DHS unjustly terminated TPS for Yemen without care for the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe and escalating armed conflict facing the country.

The commander of the Israeli military unit likely responsible for killing 5-year-old Hind Rajab is currently in the U.S.

As a party to the Genocide Convention and the Geneva Conventions, our government is obligated to arrest and investigate him for these war crimes and acts of genocide. I stand with @HindRFoundation in calling on the DOJ to follow the law and take action.

[The Hind Rajab Foundation @HindRFoundation]

🇺🇸🚨 The #HindRajabFoundation has filed an urgent request with the U.S. Department of Justice, demanding the immediate investigation, arrest, and prosecution of Sean Glass, currently present in the United States. Glass commanded the Israeli unit implicated in Hind Rajab's murder. HRF's investigation places the 52nd Battalion—including Glass and his Vampire Empire Company—near her vehicle during the killing. Today, Glass walks free in the U.S.

I stand with the brave asylum seekers and immigrants on hunger strike in ICE detention centers in Georgia and Texas.

They’ve suffered horrendous conditions, poor medical treatment, and missed years of their lives without families.

We must close these ICE torture camps for good.

ICE unlawfully deported Ahmed Soliman & Samson Birhane to Equatorial Guinea—despite having no ties to the country. They’ve been physically assaulted and held in inhumane conditions.

This comes after the Trump admin paid Equatorial Guinea $7.5 million for “third-country removals.”

Abolish ICE. End Trump’s cruel deportations. Bring Ahmed and Samson home.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Flock cameras do not make us safer. My bill would prevent our government on all levels from selling us out to Big Tech companies that trample our civil rights for profit.

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.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Trump is grossly abusing his power to raid the home of Rep. Omar. He has repeatedly attacked her, Somali Americans, and Minnesotans.

@Ilhan has done nothing to justify a pre-dawn raid ahead of the election. I stand with my sister always.

Book bans threaten our First Amendment rights, silence marginalized voices, and keep young people from seeing themselves in the stories they read.

We must protect our libraries, schools, and public institutions from censorship, which is why I support the Fight Book Bans Act. Everyone should have the freedom to learn and explore through reading.

What happened to Bernadette Greene-Placentia should make us all sick to our stomachs.

There is no excuse, no justification, and no place for sexual violence in our society. No woman, congressional candidate, staffer, student–or anyone– should ever be raped or sexually assaulted.

I stand with Bernadette and every survivor.

[Democratic Women's Caucus @DemWomenCaucus]

Bernadette Greene-Placentia, a congressional candidate, was raped while repairing her campaign signs. We are heartbroken for her and are sending her our support during this difficult time. We stand with you.

Time and time again, women are victims of sexual violence, on college campuses, on Capitol Hill, and even while running for office. We must protect women and change the culture that allows this to continue.

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.

This week, a postal carrier was attacked while simply doing his job. I’m praying for his swift recovery, and my office has reached out to USPS for more information.

Our postal carriers deserve to be safe on their routes. Always.
