Didn't play out as planned did it Rashida, never figured Israel would let you in on humanitarian grounds spoiling your #IsraelMeany theme.

When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions. I can't allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my sity to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies. Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib ·

Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in--fighting against racism, oppression & injustice.

My sity wanted to pick figs w/ me. I broke down reading this & worry every single day after I won for my family's safety. My cousin was texting me which photo of @IlhanMN & I they should put on a welcoming poster when I heard the news. I couldn't tell her. ·
What oppressive conditions?
I had a friend that had married a serviceman she met in WWII. She was German, and her entire family was in East Germany. She would talk often about not even being able to exchange letters or pictures. She cried tears of joy when the wall came down.
This bi*** is complaining about oppression. Because she won’t be allowed to protest Israel while visiting her grandmother. My friend would have done anything to see her family.
I wish I had a Twitter account, but I’d probably be banned for telling my friend’s story. Because, you know, communism is great.
Maybe grandma doesn’t want to see her.....
