here's Trump's entire racist rant about Minnesota's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars. Every year. And they contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88%.

They come from hell and complain and do nothing but bitch. We don't want them in our country. Let 'em go back to where they came from and fix it."

@gtconway3 For most Americans, as long as they have cheap beer, a ball team to cheer and a group to hate, minor inconveniences like Congressional approval, for anything, is irrelevant.
Puffins have returned to Northern Ireland’s Isle of Muck (seriously, that’s its name) for the first time in at least 25 years. Tales of puffins on the island “felt more like folklore,” said nature reserves manager Andy Crory, but now they’re coming back.

Like so much Trump does, it will take decades to restore the damage. The people he is targeting helped America even as it put their lives at risk. There isn't a country in the world where people who share our values won't think twice next time. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/us/politics/trump-affirmative-asylum.html
"Let’s be clear: Nick Fuentes is not a 'provocateur.' He is not 'edgy.' He is not 'contrarian.' Fuentes is a 27-year old, self-professed white supremacist, misogynist, Holocaust denier, anti-Semite, and a man who openly praises the ideology that murdered Anne Frank and millions of others deemed inferior.
