The Balkans is not the political epicenter of polarly different interests and all other disagreements. Anyway, listen for yourself twitter.com/FrankMikeDavis…

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." ✍️ Plato. "No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth." But, we will not be silenced at any cost 🇧🇦

Let’s be clear: Republicans are doing everything they can to strip Ilhan Omar of her committee assignments because they are scared of her. They’re intimidated she is a woman & person of color who isn’t afraid to use her voice. But no matter what, Ilhan Omar will not be silenced.
