This is positively baffling. The young woman is the daughter of a member of Congress and she attends an Ivy League school.
The Washington Free Beacon reported:
Ilhan Omar’s Daughter Gets Reparations Payments From White FriendsIsra Hirsi, the daughter of “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), has received “reparations” payments from her white friends on Juneteenth most years since 2019, the Washington Free Beacon has found.Both of Hirsi’s parents are Somali immigrants. Reparations advocates, meanwhile, typically push for payments to descendants of African Americans enslaved in the United States, while Juneteenth commemorates the nation’s 1865 end of slavery.Hirsi, a far-left activist, anti-Israel agitator, and Barnard College senior, has received at least a dozen Venmo payments on Juneteenth spread across four of the past six years, a review of her account shows. The public transactions include notes like “reparations” and “Happy Juneteenth,” though the payment app doesn’t indicate how much she was paid.The bulk were sent by Hirsi’s white friends in 2020, just weeks after George Floyd’s death and as Black Lives Matter riots rippled across the nation. She received nine payments that Juneteenth and sent two of her own to black friends. She also encouraged her X followers to “donate to descendants of enslaved people today!” Hirsi also received two Juneteenth payments in both 2019 and 2021 and one in 2024.Omar, Hirsi’s mother, fled Somalia with her family as a child in 1995 to escape the country’s civil war. Hirsi’s father, Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, is also a Somali immigrant who has since become a naturalized American citizen, though he’s actively involved in Somali politics.Milos Minos, a member of the Revolutionary Communists of America, sent Hirsi money in July, as well. The description of the payment only showed a car emoji.A month earlier, Minos said he was charged with a misdemeanor and was fired from his job at the Minneapolis International Airport for distributing recruiting propaganda for the communist group. The material centered on worker pay and called on recruits to “overthrow the parasitic capitalist class.” Minos helped form a communist cell at the airport, where he worked for three years, according to Revolutionary Communists of America’s blog.Hirsi herself has taken radical positions, most recently becoming heavily involved in the anti-Israel movement. She has participated in protests at Columbia University, Barnard’s sister school, and was arrested and suspended in April after refusing to vacate an illegal encampment on the Ivy League college’s campus.
