Would anyone like to adopt an eight-year-old trans boy, a 16-year-old non-binary teen, or a 16-year-old trans girl for the holidays?
I run a WishList program to help others. And we desperately need help for these kids.

Do you support ICE kidnapping our residents here in Minneapolis? All I’ve seen you do is vote for the Laken Riley Act and strip away due process from immigrants.
You didn’t stick up for Minnesotans. In fact, your vote is impacting our Somali and immigrant communities heavily.

I’ve got news for you, Mr. President: in Minnesota, we stick up for our neighbors. And our Somali community isn’t going anywhere.
Your dangerous attacks on immigrants in my state and across the country are putting lives and families at risk.

Voting for the Laken Riley Act directly led to what’s happening now with ICE in Minneapolis.
You had a chance to stand up for our neighbors then. Posting is not going to help them now. What’s the plan to actually do something?

The attacks on Somalis are another illustration of how anti-immigration politics and anti-Black politics are deeply intertwined (not unlike the earlier attacks on Haitians.)

Sometimes, while out watching for gestapo vans sent by our white nationalist authoritarian govt to terrorize and kidnap our neighbors, I think about how a slate of terrible neoliberal candidates for local Mpls office touted themselves as “apolitical” in 2025.

that isn't just racial profiling -- this sounds a lot like ethnic cleansing.
Officials prepare immigration operation in Minnesota that would focus on Somali immigrants, source tells AP, as Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in U.S.

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.
NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.
Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.
Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture.

Tom Emmer is a huge racist, just like every single white Minnesotan who votes GOP, and most of the white Centrist Democrat Minnesotans too. Some shout it, some whisper it, but they were all born and raised that way. It's instinctual. It's cultural. This is the true face of "Minnesota Nice"
Tom Emmer pushes racist lies on Fox: "80% of the crimes being committed in the Twin Cities and Minnesota are being committed by Somalis"
