Rashida Tlaib: “I really did think that smell was normal. No, I really thought that smell was normal.”

Their silence is complacent and normalizes fearmongering and racism. We know that targeting any community doesn’t allow any of us to be safe.

More leaders, including local elected officials, must speak out, especially against the local instigators participating in the spread of hatred under the guise of faith.

People of all faiths and of all backgrounds belong, and deserve to practice their religion and celebrate their cultures freely without fear.

This data sharing should terrify all of us. It does nothing to make us safer, but rather endangers the basic rights of all Americans and worsens our mass surveillance crisis.
