This is the result of 7+ years of Trump's attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social, Somali-Americans, & the Muslim community. Everyone, regardless of party, must speak out against this fascistic abuse of power. If they can do this to a sitting Congresswoman, they can & will do it to anyone.

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

The real reason the Trump administration is targeting California right now? Its 52 congressional seats could decide control of the House. And because counting every mail ballot there has historically taken weeks, Trump will have a window to try to interfere. Marc Elias explains👇
