@mplsgordon2 @OrangeisGood50 @RealJMPeterman Based on anyone’s lived experience, the true number of persons of Somali heritage living in Minnesota is easily triple any supposedly ‘official’ figure from any level of government, or legacy media.

International refugees settled in MN, and descendants

1/ @mplsgordon2 @OrangeisGood50 @RealJMPeterman @deenafaywinter

Secondary migration of international refugees to MN from other states, and descendants

Regular immigrants, both directly to MN and secondary migration, and descendants

US-born persons (outside MN) of Somali heritage, who move to MN, like @OmarFatehMN

@livefreejim @JennaReports @mngop It’s very simple.

Sometimes, things can backfire.

In 2012, the Minnesota state constitutional amendment against gay marriage backfired on @mngop which lost the referendum and handed DFL the trifecta which enacted gay marriage in Minnesota.

1/ @livefreejim @JennaReports @mngop In 2026, Minnesota elects the Governor and all the state constitutional offices to four year terms.

Also the State Senate and State House.

I think it’s essential for MNGOP to win those.

Trying to recall Walz less than a year before his term ends would backfire.

@legler_aaron @HennepinAtty @MaryMoriarty is quite correct that this is wrong, but Minnesota’s Somali community is very proud of its solidarity and cohesion, so it’s no surprise that the larger Somali community is being associated with its most famous members’ publicly-funded businesses and activities. @legler_aaron @HennepinAtty @MaryMoriarty More Somali community cohesion.

@daveweigel @nytimes @Fahrenthold’s initial story used “East African immigrants” and didn’t mention “Somalis” at all. nytimes.com/2022/03/08/us/… @daveweigel @nytimes @Fahrenthold Here’s former Minnesota Republican Governor @TimPawlenty.

@JoeGayHistorian I don’t have an opinion on this.

I do know that, if there really were many men (of whatever sexual orientations) who were into dating transwomen, then those transwomen would be having so much hot, steamy sex with them, that they’d have abandoned the Internet, apps, etc. @JoeGayHistorian Instead, the very fact that transwomen are constantly complaining that “men” don’t wish to date them, means exactly that:

The men to whom you are attracted, are not attracted to you enough to date you.

That’s your problem, not men’s problem and not society’s problem.

@Chris4Perkins2 The left has destroyed our democracy by ignoring our laws. nytimes.com/2025/12/07/us/… @Chris4Perkins2 theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@SarahPierceEsq Thank you for your service.

Sadly, the Biden Administration abused humanitarian parole and lied to so many people that they could stay in the United States by abusing asylum.

Liberals on @VisitMV didn’t care.

No surprise that Americans have hardened their hearts. @SarahPierceEsq @VisitMV Congress never authorized this. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@thauserkstp @SFVet2024 @DeRushaJ @ChadHartmanShow How many people of Somali heritage live in Minnesota?

Based on anyone’s lived experience, the true number is at least three times any ‘official’ figure from any level of government or legacy media.

Otherwise, per transgender logic, so few people cannot be “essential.” @thauserkstp @SFVet2024 @DeRushaJ @ChadHartmanShow mncompass.org/topics/demogra…

@RyanFaircloth @Allie_Kite Based on everyone’s lived experience, the true population of persons of Somali heritage in Minnesota is at least triple any official figure.

The old figure 80,000 hasn’t been updated in years and doesn’t even include normal population growth - children.

mncompass.org/topics/demogra… @RyanFaircloth @Allie_Kite The true figure includes:

International refugees settled in MN, descendants

International refugees settled in USA outside MN, moved to MN - secondary migration, descendants

US-born (outside MN) descendants of refugees and immigrants - domestic migration, descendants

@CarolLeonnig @byaaroncdavis Thank you for Injustice.

There’s one outstanding issue from the 2016 campaign that has not yet been documented for the historical record, related to norms of @TheJusticeDept.

Please try to report on this, for history:

After Attorney General @AGLynch met @BillClinton

1/ @CarolLeonnig @byaaroncdavis @TheJusticeDept @AGLynch @BillClinton on the tarmac at PHX June 27, 2016, her Deputy @SallyQYates should have insisted that Lynch recuse from the case of @HillaryClinton’s emails.

As you know, recusal is the time-honored remedy for almost any perceived conflict; no need to create ad hoc ‘solutions.’

@julie_kelly2 I’m waiting for all the supposed evidence on the latest report, but I welcome any thoughts you may have re January 6, 2021:

Why didn’t @SpeakerPelosi learn the most basic lesson from the Benghazi hearings:

By the time they’re coming over the walls, it is already too late.

1/ @julie_kelly2 @SpeakerPelosi DC Armory is 1.8 miles from the Capitol for a reason.

To pre-stage security personnel to deploy when needed, say, when the Ellipse mob crossed 14th Street NW.

High-powered security professionals asleep at the switch:

@dohertytjp @mikenelson586 @FBI I’m reading @CarolLeonnig’s new book Injustice; the focus of my lack of sympathy for @FBI is institutional.

I’m not a security expert, but even I knew from social media by January 4, 2021, that it would be prudent to prepare for the possibility of violence two days later.

1/ @dohertytjp @mikenelson586 @FBI @CarolLeonnig That’s why DC Armory is 1.8 miles from the Capitol, so security personnel could be staged, ready, nearby.

@SpeakerPelosi missed the most obvious lesson from all those Benghazi hearings:

By the time they’re coming over the walls, it is already too late.

It was not a mistake

@nytimes @ShawnHubler @LaurelRosenhall are lying in para 3.

In 2020, a judge invalidated elections in NJ Passaic County's City of Paterson.

Passaic County is the only place where @NJGOP asked @TheJusticeDept to send election monitors.

#FakeNewsMedia

nytimes.com/2025/10/24/us/… Seriously, as this action specifically focuses on Passaic County, New Jersey, it is a flat lie - yes, LIE - that "voter fraud is exceedingly rare."

Unless NY Times says @CNN @CNNPolitics is lying, The NY Times itself is lying and should apologize.

Sad !

@JamesMartinSJ Sadly, human trafficking NGOs coach people to create a scene like this.

Given that America is enforcing its laws, including immigration laws, do you have any specific suggestions or recommendations? @JamesMartinSJ usccb.org/beliefs-and-te…

@WalshFreedom If a foreign national has a Final Order of Deportation, due process has been completed, even if some concerned citizens may not like it.

If the American people agreed with you, Congress would change the law. @WalshFreedom Under current law, mere presence in our country, in violation of law, does not eventually qualify anyone to remain permanently, even without a criminal record.

What you are advocating is not current law.

President Trump swore to “faithfully execute” the laws as they are.

@annbauerwriter I believe that. @annbauerwriter startribune.com/roper-nicollet…
