My great-grandparents were murdered and have no known graves. They were murdered by people with the same kind of thinking that those occupying our highest offices explicitly avow, in an event that inspired Hitler. None of what is happening is an abstraction to my family.

Knowing her family history of grifting + attention seeking, the fact that the account that reported on this was created just days before the incident, + how off-rubric the essay was, I believe Samantha Fulnecky failed on purpose to create a lucrative media cycle based on manufactured outrage

the utter gutter racism, but also the sheer gall of this asshole sleeping through a televised meeting and then startling awake in order to complain about anyone else not working.
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Donald Trump’s disgraceful attacks on Minnesota’s Somali community are injecting more of his poisonous racism into our beloved home state. Hearing him single out our people based solely on their race and country of origin is downright disgusting.
