When Rashida Tlaib was sworn into Congress on Thursday, her election had already made history – and there, in the U.S. Capitol, her attire followed suit. Tlaib wore a thobe, or traditional Palestinian robe, which inspired Palestinian-American women around the country to share their own with the Twitter hashtag #TweetYourThobe.
Notably, Tlaib was sworn in on a Quran. Her sons also earned some attention when they dabbed in celebration after the swearing in.
