My mom.

Friend: The auto factories of Detroit built more than cars, they built futures for families like mine. My mother worked in the auto industry for years. Like so many Detroiters, she played her part to help put the world on wheels. Her work wasn’t just a job. It was dignity, stability…

Sign On: Expel Randy Fine from Congress

Far-right GOP Congressman Randy Fine really said this No, this isn’t a “hot mic” moment. This isn’t a mistake, or a misunderstanding of words. Far-right GOP Congressman Randy Fine really said this. And he was so proud of it that he tweeted it out, too. Randy Fine is a disgusting, violent r…

Send AIPAC packing

Friend, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: AIPAC. Since Ilhan first ran for Congress, putting forward principles of universal human rights and dignity for all, AIPAC has been one of her biggest opponents. That’s because Ilhan stands against their far-right views on Israel and Palest…

I know exactly what this feels like.

Ilhan and I will always be targets for the GOP When I saw Trump’s latest attacks on Ilhan and the Somali-American community, my heart dropped — not just because of how hateful and dangerous they were, but because I know this playbook far too well. For months now, one of Trump’s closest alli…

Is Elon playing dumb?

Republicans like Elon and Trump really hate democracy Friend, Elon Musk is from South Africa but lives in Texas, which is really far from South Africa. That’s never stopped him from receiving billions in government subsidies, spending millions to influence our elections, and joining the Tr…

Trump’s attacks have consequences

These are the real-world results of reckless rhetoric Friend, Trump’s constant attacks on Somali-Americans have consequences. His lies, his conspiracies, and especially his threats of violent immigration crackdowns have sown fear and pain for no reason other than to scapegoat a vulnerable c…

Thank you.

This was a tough week. Friend, Ilhan here. I want to say thank you. This was a tough week. Trump and the extremist far-right decided to go all-in on racism, hatred, and cruelty. They have singled out Somali-Americans, called my friends and me “garbage”, targeted us with ICE, and rallied the…

2018

The night we won our first race for Congress. August 14th, 2018. That was the night we won our first primary race for Congress. Just a few years before that moment, nobody would have guessed that a Muslim, refugee, woman of color could win a seat on the national stage. But we shattered all o…
