It's not terribly far from incitement, which is not protected speech.
Trump is just emotionally scarred because he was there on sept 11th when the muslims were cheering in the street
Is it suddenly not ok to make note when it seems the people who should be standing for you don't have your back? Is it not ok to be mad about their silence?
there's no discussion to be had regarding the video posted. it's racist, vile and dangerous.
the only discussion we can have now how this needs to be dealt with.

Yeah I'm not sure attacking liberals and Democrats should be your first reaction. Contact your reps and ask them to do something. If anyone is it's not the GOP.
If your initial reaction is Dems aren't going to do anything! Well, that's a shitty reaction and it's valid to question your motive.

I expect the politicians I elect to protect my interests against fascists, yes.
Pretty crazy, I know.
If they can't even protect a colleague, how are they going to protect me?
No one is blaming Democratic leadership for Trump's actions here.
Their blaming Democratic leadership for the apparent silence of their party.
One shouldn't be ignored because of the other, at least as far as I see it.
The day he dies will be great, just like Thatcher, seeing the media try and maintain a respectful tone while everybody is lining up to dance on his grave.
Don't you know? Now is the time for unity. Not when they were all a-okay with piling on Ilhan with their concern trolling!
I hope he gets to watch his entire life crumble in front of his eyes before he croaks.
Wait, dude...why are you fighting him? Aren't the both of you pissed off about the same thing/people/issue?
So I can start looking for random hot takes on twitter and every time I post them I can just tell them "Nuh uh, you have to get through my twitter henchmen first before you're able to continue on to my crypt!"
Dude, what? Who's attacking the Dems here? We're rightfully fucking livid at the trash heap that is the GOP and Trump but that don't mean I have to ignore the fact that the Dems have been quiet on this while a Black Muslim woman continues to be attacked. It's utterly ridiculous to even suggest pointing this out is concern trolling.
Agreed, dude has no fucking right attacking another person's character. Literal propaganda right before our eyes.
In defence of the Democrat leadership, they were united in shitting all over her.
There is no justice in the world so I'm not holding my breath.
good god just treat it like a post like any other, it's not that hard. I usually post tweets because I think it's an opinion worth sharing and I can't be arsed to re-phrase it.
Yea man those collaborators who are the only reason Trump and Co. don't control the entire country via the House and who are the only reason the Mueller investigation has any hope of seeing the light of day
dat collaboration
If you don't get why minorities and others are disappointed in Democrats response to the treatment Ilhan's received, you're one dense motherfucker.
Yes, the desire of some that don't believe anyone could have been upset in good faith regarding to endlessly relitigate the initial controversies is obvious.
This was tweeted less than two hours ago. This is something that demands a unified response from the congressional caucus. That is not going to be ready in less than two hours.
Or you could just address the argument directly instead. I get that hyper-polarization gets people thinking we only have 2 settings, total apathy and peak snark but if you try hard and dig deep enough you might find the capacity for real conversation in there somewhere.
Why? We have leadership that could act immediately. Show no hesitation and no doubt in the face of crap like this. None.
It's fucked up, but it certainly didn't stop NY Post from adding more fuel to the fire, and neither will it stop Trump.
Or anyone else following up.
Yea, which is the entire issue with people posting rando twitter accounts
It's a lazy way to validate views and opinions, because if someone else shares the view point you're posting, then it must be valid!
Might as well just drive by shit post, which is basically the overall content of political threads on ERA now thanks to a wonderful select few
If Trump wins reelection, in 2024 you KNOW that Republicans are going to look for the next racist alt right piece of shit they can think of.
You're right. Doing some good things excuses shameful and disgusting behavior elsewhere.
Yea man those collaborators who are the only reason Trump and Co. don't control the entire country via the House and who are the only reason the Mueller investigation has any hope of seeing the light of day
dat collaboration
How stupid of me.
Now hold on folks. Before you get out your pitchforks for moderates... How quick did it take for Dems to jump on Omar over her "all about the Benjamins" tweet?
If it took them longer than this, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Anyone who takes any longer than a few hours in comparison to their reaction there, though, reveals themselves for what they are. But I'm not sure we should jump the gun until they actually pants themselves.
Also, more on the actual topic as it is now: Fuck Trump. May he be cursed with migraines. This could legit get her or someone around her killed. Twitter should absolutely suspend him for this, anything less shows a lack of interest in policing Islamophobia and white supremacy in spite of claims they'd do better.

Then why should anyone be arsed to respond? I have no beef with you, and the Dems have been craven about supporting Omar. But I have much bigger issues, like dealing with a fascist threatening a rep. Stop trying to fight two-fronted wars with allies because we're the only ones listening to you ATM.
Yeah she can take him to court over this. Its slander straight up
How the hell are people enabling this kind of behavior not part of the problem? The people who supposedly represent us need to do A LOT better.
I dunno, I saw this chilling tweet by a non-verified Twitter user that really puts things in perspective: "I am to be Muslim who am black and not man. Democrats are no comrades of mine after event of today transpiring. Am not to be voting in upcoming selection. Both parties are same."
Or the living embodiment of ERA's woke-ass-white-privelege.
Reported it. Some fucking nut is going to put a bullet through her, and it will be blood on every platform that did nothing against this targeted harassment.
Because Pelosi is a leader and not an individual rep like AOC and can't just snap back a tweet when she is the voice of the entire house delegation when a situation like this is unprecedented and escalating the danger and necessary response to Trump on a day when he's already done so w/ the Pardon thing.
We have a President trying to get a House Rep killed the same day he's promising to pardon a guy for breaking the law at his command. This is not normal.
IIRC it was at least 5-6 hours after that until it started to blow up, after the accidental RT.
