War trauma never leaves you. Engaging in armed conflict never creates stability. It only costs lives and futures. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

The trauma of war is not only felt by the soldier on the battlefield. It is felt by the child huddled under the bed as bombs go off outside her window. I am that child and here in Congress I will always speak out against war. — PolitiTweet.org

Muslims shouldn’t have to live in fear of death threats and violent hate crimes. The times we’re in call for all of us to work harder to stamp out hate. We must put Islamophobia in the dustbin of history where it belongs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

This president’s hateful policies like the Muslim ban and the refugee cap have already empowered Islamophobes. And it will only get worse as he pushes us closer to an endless, unnecessary war with Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

From 2003 to 2007, we saw alarming rates of death threats, vandalism, and violence against Arab-Americans and others assumed to be of Middle Eastern heritage. Violent rhetoric turns into violent acts. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

I’ve seen it right here on Twitter, where my calls to avoid a war with Iran were met with anti-Muslim slurs and tropes in my replies. We’ve seen it at the U.S.-Canadian border, where dozens of Iranians and Iranian-Americans have been held for questioning for no reason at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

When the United States enters conflicts with Muslim-majority countries, it destabilizes nations and infringes upon human rights. It also riles up Islamophobes and racists at home. https://t.co/hdniYDeZ0k — PolitiTweet.org

45,000 Americans die every year because they don’t have health insurance. It’s a moral outrage that this is happening in one of the richest countries in the world. When we pass #MedicareForAll, everyone will have access to healthcare. https://t.co/nNGmw6ibMq — PolitiTweet.org

Over 20 years ago, the state of Minnesota welcomed my family with open arms. I never would’ve had the opportunities that led me to Congress had I been rejected. What Beltrami County is doing is denying refugees a chance at a better life. https://t.co/cpp3PgBB7h — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

I lived in a war zone and I’ve seen what conflict does to families and communities. Trump is on the brink of dragging us into an endless war. I need you to stand with me in calling on Congress to stop Trump. Add your name ➡️ https://t.co/uEveJykhBr #NoWarWithIran https://t.co/1JiEHBrBOX — PolitiTweet.org

Hi Jim, I survived war as a child and deal with post-traumatic stress disorder—much like many who have served or lived through war. It’s shameful that you as a member of Congress would erase the PTSD of survivors. https://t.co/QdDBKDSOCS — PolitiTweet.org
