VICTORY! Rashida Tlaib has won the primary in Detroit to become the 1st Muslim woman in Congress! She’s a Palestinian-American, she’s a Democratic Socialist, but most importantly, she has the heart & soul & courage to lead us to a better day. She and 1000 other Rashidas! Onward! pic.twitter.com/20cHnwb611
