Cool but she isn't really raising Somali issues as she could be. She could do/say so much for the community as it's improbable that there'll be another Somali in congress.
I don't know she isn't raising somali interests for sure but things I would like her to focus when a rational president comes into power are the following:
A - Taking Somalia and other Islamic countries off the list of Banned nationalities for US entry
B- Increase the refugee numbers coming to America and make it open to all citizens of the world like it used to
C- More funding for the University of Minnesota so research can be done in many fronts.
We need feederal investment in research. Trump and company are anti-science. They love to cut education funding across the board because that is religion to them. He appointed the dumbest woman in America to head the Education department. Americans protested her visits to their schools many times to show their contempt. That is how much people feel threatened by Trump and his ignorant class of MAGA crew.
The potential she and like-minded young women in congress have is immense. Unfortuantely, individuals like her and her friends can have little impact when congress and the senate plus the president who is supposed to sign laws are anti anything good for society.
There is danger to everyone in America who is sane today be they white, black, asian or anyone unless coming from the white house and MAGA class.
Criticizing Ilhan when you are a minority is suicide in these poltiical environments.
My engineer coworker just now was asking me about Ilhan Omar. I made my opinion known to him and he said he gave her money online and pointed out to me I could do the same. Imagine a nonsomali dude beating me to that effort? I promised to give her a donation, which I will do later inshallah after he e-mails me the link on the ActBlue website.
In America, you must be represented in government or you will lose everything and live downtrodden.
You folks need to reign in your unsolciited anti Ilhan comments who will be used by the white nationalists, the brietbart farts, the fauxnews crew and 4chans.
Apparently, they read this website. One of them was tweeting how Ilhan has Faqash politics. WHo teh f*ck would tell them something like that?
