We will have about 13,000 in 2025. About half will be allowed stay. I don't think 6,500 extra people in a population of 5 million is a threat to "social cohesion". Not being able to afford a home or to see a doctor or not having to wait 3 years for my kid's needs to be assessed is.

Trump will be shocked by how valued a part of the Twin Cities the Somali community is. Senile Satan is such a trash human being as are his supporters, there is no excuse anymore, there never really was. #trump #us #twincities

One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:
“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”
More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙
