“We have to be a nation of compassion and some sort of humanity when it...” — Rashida Tlaib Quote

We have to be a nation of compassion and some sort of humanity when it comes to the treatment of other human beings.

My mom is a woman who grew up in a small farming village in the West Bank called Beit Ur El Foka. She only went to school up to 8th grade and then dropped out to go work in a tailor shop that made dresses and different embroidered designs to make money for her family.

President Donald Trump is a direct and serious threat to our country.

Trump's pardon of Arpaio may not get as much attention as Russian influence or Trump's apparent obstruction of justice in the Mueller investigation. But to me, as a woman of color, it is a clear abuse of power for the U.S. president to pardon a sheriff who targeted people for arrest because of their ethnicity.

We are all human beings and I believe that we all should have equal rights.

Negroes are human beings with exactly the same faults and virtues as members of the other races.

All human beings are lonely at the core. We come alone, we go alone.

My older sisters and brother are all amazing beings and inspiring people. They are my best friends and have guided and taught me consistently throughout my life.

The horrible truth is we are linear beings; we can't multitask, and we shouldn't keep interrupting important connections to each other with the latest message coming in.
