In this episode, we dig into the racism so many people pretend not to see — the latest example being the relentless, targeted attacks Donald Trump has launched at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and the broader Somali immigrant community. We walk through the history of Trump’s rhetoric, the conspiracies he knowingly amplifies, the “send her back” moments he encourages, and the way these narratives are swallowed whole by supporters who insist they’re “not racist.” We also break down who Ilhan Omar actually is — her background, public service, and qualifications — and how her real story clashes with the caricature. Along the way, we explore why so many Americans refuse to acknowledge obvious bigotry, how that denial harms real communities, and why calling this behavior what it is matters for the country’s moral and democratic health. Also in this episode: The PAC plan for 2028, motive of the J6 bomber, and birthright citizenship headed to SCOTUS.
