The election of AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and more recently Cori Bush, was a big fuck you to white supremacists, misogynists, Islamophobes, racists. They are Black and women of colour, including Muslim women, who refuse to stay in their appointed place

"On my very first day of orientation, I got my first death threat. It was a serious one. They took me aside, the FBI ... I didn't even get sworn in yet & someone wanted me dead for just existing. More came later. Uglier, more violent,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib
