Yep. Our local Mpls news can’t even post a video of first ever upscale Somali restaurant here without majority of comments being racist anti Somali American nonsense.

I’m sure commenters don’t even live here, and barely eat TexMex, but this of course is standard for any Muslim/Somali/Ilhan video

Surprise, surprise: Trump, who routinely pardons fraudsters and presides over the most corrupt administration ever, has no interest in actually addressing waste, fraud, and abuse.

Apparently, fraud is only a problem when they can scapegoat Somali Minnesotans.
Q: If the administration has declared on waste and fraud, could you explain the $420 million overpayment for a prison in Appleton, MN, when they company offered it to the state for $75m?

BESSENT: I don't know anything about that. That's a waste of our time.

The "Sing Again" project recorded Somali grandmothers from across Minnesota singing lullabies and reciting poems for kids as a way to help preserve Somali language and culture. “These are centuries-old songs I sang to my children,” one grandmother said.
To preserve Somali language, 61 grandmothers shared lullabies they sang their babies

A reminder that this election, Republicans & cops are setting the stage for expanded enforcement. And they're targeting Somali Minnesotans as part of a broader permission structure for "demigration," denaturalization, and walking back civil rights.

And local media is promoting it.

Opus Dei grand master Leonard Leo is steering funds to an organization in Maine which is dedicated entirely to Nazi-style racist smears targeting Somali-Americans. It appears to be a coordinated part of the Susan Collins campaign, while maintaining plausible deniability for her.

I think the pushback is happening because when R's talk about "widespread fraud" they're aiming directly at the entire Somali population of the state in a massively racist attack. Adopting that widespread language rather than pointing to the small number of (largely non-Somali) criminals kinda sucks
November 2, 2026 at 3:44 PM
right but are Somali people doing that fraud? If not I don't care because there's no opportunity to be a racist piece of shit about it

Let's take a vote who we don't want in this country more. Somali immigrants or Donald Trump?

I am way, WAY more comfortable being surrounded by my Somali Muslim neighbors than I am sitting next to whatever this fucking shit was. Ooof.
I'm at a coffee shop and the couple next to me is talking about the need to be martyred for Christ.

What are you going to write when the Dems over perform because of metro surge?!? The fake welfare fraud scandal built on anti Somali and Islamophobia?
I wrote up the nightmare for Democrats: Losing Minnesota.

Wide-spread welfare fraud is not GOP invention; the scandal effectively ended Walz's re-election campaign. Then Operation Metro Surge happened. What's the narrative that will triumph tomorrow?
