@QuillFirePoetry @libsoftiktok have to fight for their literal survival. We are openly assaulted on the streets anytime we voice an opinion. We're told we will be "kirked" if we don't back down. This is my reality. Your standing on principles is nostalgic at best, and a luxury only the rear ranks can afford.

Six South Carolina Senate Republicans just joined Democrats to BLOCK the finalizing of a new congressional map before early voting begins. 31 votes were needed to pass. Here are the Republicans who sided with Democrats: -Sean Bennett -Chip Campsen -Tom Davis -Greg Hembree -Shane Massey -Rex Rice

@QuillFirePoetry @libsoftiktok Rino alert. Dems started the fight years ago with their gerrymandering race based districts. This effort is a mere counter punch. Get out of the road before you're run over. Btw, this isn't 1980.

Elected Republicans (state or federal) are supposed to be voting their conscience, not rubberstamping whatever Trump demands. Separation of Powers; Checks and Balances; power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely ... do you not remember? Gerrymandering is blatant cheating and makes a mockery of the democratic process. Banana Republic 101 stuff. Both sides do it and both sides should be castigated for it. Incidentally, I'm a lifelong Republican (the Reagan kind).

@libsoftiktok Rinos are circling the wagons. Sticking with their own. This is their critical year, either they win and maga is a footnote, or they lose and Trump changes the party forever. Their response in the Senate and here in SC is their Rubicon.

This is what was handed to MN students for 2026-27 curriculum. The SPLC's own fake literature. The material is given to them for their "ethnic studies" classes. It's being taught in our schools right now. Imagine MN 10 years from now if this policy isn't reversed.

@jakeirish_ @realDonaldTrump @yaroslav_mar You've been outed as a fraud fuckstick. Now go back to your suffering... alone.

@realDonaldTrump This is the f@g0+ who put a community note on my post. Look at his bio folks 🤡😂 @yaroslav_mar

Lawmakers took turns reading a resolution that affirmed the Minnesota House's "strong support for Minnesota's Somali-American community." alphanews.org/republican-and…

@AlphaNews Industrial scale fraud demands industrial scale prosecutions. Let's Go!

Federal authorities announce new fraud charges against 15 individuals in Minnesota According to Assistant U.S. Attorney General Colin McDonald, the fraudsters targeted $90 million in taxpayer funds with their schemes.

@action_liberty No response to a single person that bothered to post: Noted

Another nail in the coffin of the American Dream was hammered into place tonight.

@RachelKleinfeld When the power of NGO's outsize the citizens' combined voting power, then NGO's need to be muzzled. NGO's operate free of any oversight by "we the people". That's not "our democracy", it's closer to tryanny.

For accuracy re:Jenna's post: I left the Freedom House board last fall. Protect Democracy's advisory board has no governing function. I don't hide my work. I think all Americans benefit from freedom to associate, speak, believe & give. Our founders fought for those. We should too

@DataRepublican mentioned me again, so I wanted to share some thoughts about NGOs, which she does not like, and democracy, which we both like but differ on. 1/16

Just two days before the end of session, Republican and Democrat members of the Minnesota House read a resolution that affirmed the House's "strong support for Minnesota's Somali American community." Among other things, the resolution recognized "their many contributions to the cultural, social, civic, and economic health of our state." The overwhelming majority of those charged and convicted in Minnesota's ongoing fraud saga are from the Somali community.

@Foxhound_N10 @LukeSprinkel They don't work much, most are on welfare or living on fraud dollars. I would say it's more likey WE are the slaves.

@LukeSprinkel They are modern slaves for them is what they are.

Maggiy Emery, Executive Director of Protect Minnesota, told the Star Tribune that exurban gun-rights voters “were already lost a long time ago” — too small, too written off to bother with. The actual numbers say otherwise. MINNESOTA GUN OWNERSHIP. Approximately 49 percent of Minnesota adults own at least one firearm per SurveyUSA polling. That is roughly 2.3 million adult gun owners in a state of 5.7 million. Not a “very small percentage.” A near-majority of the adult population. PERMIT TO CARRY HOLDERS. As of early 2026, Minnesota had nearly 400,000 active permit-to-carry holders per BCA data — a 270 percent increase since 2010. These are not fringe voters. They are working Minnesotans who completed background checks, paid fees, and demonstrated training to exercise a constitutional right. THE EXURBAN MATH EMERY IGNORES. Anoka, Carver, Sherburne, Wright, Scott, Chisago, and Isanti counties — the exurban ring she dismissed — delivered 540,000+ votes in 2022. These counties went Republican by 12-25 point margins. They contain a substantial share of Minnesota’s permit holders, deer hunters, sportsmen, veterans, and farmers. Writing them off is not strategy. It is admission that her coalition cannot persuade them and has chosen to legislate around them instead. THE LEGISLATIVE RECORD. SF 4067 — Sen. Zaynab Mohamed’s AR-pattern firearm registration bill — passed the Senate 34-33 and died in the 67-67 House. SF 3655, Mohamed’s first bill of the session, would have banned possession outright with up to 5 years in prison. HF 4277, Mohamed’s prior-biennium bill with Rep. Frazier, would have eliminated mandatory minimums for crimes committed with firearms. The same legislator pushed three bills: register the law-abiding, ban the law-abiding, reduce sentences for criminal gun use. Every one of them lost or died. Emery’s coalition lost this session. They lost because the legislative math did not support their position, not because gun owners are too small to matter. THE STRUCTURAL POINT. The “small percentage” framing is the institutional-capture coalition talking itself into its own bubble. Protect Minnesota is funded by Bloomberg-aligned philanthropy and operates within the Johns Hopkins / Everytown / Brady advocacy network operating across multiple states. Their internal polling, talking points, and strategy memos all use the same framing: gun owners are an aging, shrinking, exurban, electorally unimportant constituency that can be safely ignored. The nearly 400,000 active permit holders, the 49 percent of Minnesotans who own at least one firearm, the 540,000+ exurban voters Emery dismissed, the 33 senators who voted against SF 4067, and the House Republicans who held the 67-67 line on her agenda all suggest she is wrong about the math. THE NOVEMBER POINT. The 2026 House elections will be decided in roughly 15-20 swing districts. Many of those districts contain significant exurban and rural populations Emery describes as “already lost.” If she is correct, her coalition will lose those districts anyway. If she is wrong — and the gun-owning population mobilizes in numbers proportional to its actual size — the coalition that pushed SF 4067 will discover the cost of writing off a quarter of the state’s adult population. The DFL coalition lost on guns this session because the votes were not there. The November question is whether the voters who held the line in 2026 will show up in numbers Emery did not expect.

@AlphaNews "will review this year's processes and make needed improvements." My bullshit translator says that means "we will continue our indoctrination unimpeded now piss off".

High schooler speaks out against LGBTQIA+ 'indoctrination' that is 'forced' on students Jace Svensk, a student at Osseo Senior High School, spoke to Liz Collin on her podcast about how he believes his classmates were "forced" to take part in an LGBTQIA+ lesson and how the school made an "error" when he attempted to opt out. Svensk told Collin that the school appears to be "more focused on identity politics and promoting these pride celebrations than they are actually teaching us." A spokesperson for the Osseo School District responded by stating that the district has over 7,000 high school students and that it "will review this year's processes and make needed improvements."

@ResoluteTitan88 Very interesting if true. Damning if you can prove it.

Taxpayer-Funded Nonprofit Operating a For-Profit Media Outlet with Foreign Government Ties A Minnesota-based media organization is functioning as both a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a for-profit LLC, receiving substantial public funding while maintaining close connections to Somalia’s official government information apparatus. Somali TV of Minnesota presents itself as a community service broadcaster. Public records, however, reveal a dual corporate structure that allows it to access taxpayer resources on one side while pursuing commercial revenue on the other. The Dual StructureNonprofit arm Somali TV of Minnesota Inc., registered as a 501(c)(3) with EIN 41-1979204. This status provides eligibility for tax-deductible donations, government contracts, and grants. For-profit arm Somali TV of Minnesota LLC, active with the Minnesota Secretary of State. This arrangement enables the organization to draw on public funds through the nonprofit while channeling advertising, production, and other commercial income through the LLC. Public Funding and Political Connections Between 2020 and 2022, the organization received approximately $241,000 in contracts from the Minnesota Department of Health for “culturally appropriate” public health messaging during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020–2021, Somali TV provided favorable coverage and promotion for then-candidate Sen. Omar Fateh. Several months later, Sen. Fateh authored legislation directing $500,000 in taxpayer funds from the Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund toward the organization’s programming. Federal rules strictly prohibit 501(c)(3) organizations from engaging in candidate endorsements or political campaign activity. Ties to Somali Government Officials Somali TV has documented connections to high-level Somali government figures, including meetings with Daud Aweis Jama (Da’ud Aweys), Somalia’s former Minister of Information. In Somalia, the Minister of Information position functions as the state’s chief propaganda and narrative control office, overseeing official media and diaspora outreach. Community posts have described these meetings as “an honor,” raising questions about the independence of a U.S.-based, publicly subsidized media outlet. Farhio Khalif, a registered foreign agent (FARA #7314) representing Somalia’s Galmudug State, maintains connections within these same Minnesota Somali networks and has been involved in local activism. Questions for Accountability: 1. Why has a dual nonprofit/for-profit structure been permitted without clear separation of activities and funding streams? 2. What safeguards exist to prevent foreign government influence from affecting content broadcast to the Somali-American community in Minnesota? 3. Have state agencies or the IRS conducted audits of the flow of public dollars into this organization? This case highlights broader concerns about foreign influence operations, election-related community messaging, and the use of U.S. nonprofit status to subsidize media aligned with overseas governments. Full transparency - including audited financials and clear firewalls between the nonprofit, for-profit, and foreign contacts — is essential. Taxpayers have a right to know how their money is being used in operations that intersect with foreign governments and domestic political activity. This warrants scrutiny from the DOJ, IRS, and congressional oversight committees focused on foreign agent registration and election integrity.
