Hasan Piker: “Trans people are 1% of the population. They shouldn’t be talked about endlessly. Muslims are 1% of the population. They shouldn’t be talked about endlessly. It’s not a Guatemalan migrant that made your housing more expensive. It’s your landlord, it’s hedge funds buying out all of these homes and rising up their prices. A transgender person is not the reason your energy costs are skyrocketing. It’s the wars we’re waging, the data centers sucking up the energy needs. This is just the truth”

I proudly stand with @hasanthehun in calling out the DFL’s bullshit
Hasan Piker calls out @MinnesotaDFL on their hypocrisy. He's fucking correct:
"When some of those DFL-ers were awfully quiet about ICE coming into their state and attacking their Somali constituents, attacking all of their constituents, I was there. THEY were not. They didn't say a damn fucking thing, just like they didn't say a damn thing when Ilhan Omar was being prosecuted and persecuted by the current administration. It's people like that who are chirping about this appearance.
If you're a Democrat and at this stage, leaning into insane right-wing attacks, concocted by the Republican Party, and you can't find it within yourself to at least be partisan in this moment, the least you can do is shut the fuck up.
Clearly you had no problem shutting the fuck up when your colleague, your peer, another Democrat from your state was under attack by Donald Trump. You had no words to say then, but you have a lot of words to say now. Please, shut the fuck up just like how you did when Ilhan Omar's house was being raided."

it’s so funny these idiots try to act like socialists aren’t regular upstanding members of society trying to improve the awful system we’re subjected to. they think we are like the nazis on the far right and get mad when normal people don’t feel that way.

I don’t want a strong Republican party, I want it to be destroyed.
Hillary Clinton: “The Republican Party is no longer a political party, it is a cult devoted to Trump and Trump’s power. The Republican Party needs a total transformation. If we’re gonna have a healthy government that actually gets things done and delivers for people, the Republican Party has to purge itself of everybody that lost both their conscience and their backbone over the last ten years and that’s most of them”

If a Somali commits a crime in Minnesota he’s Somali but if he saves 20 kids on a runaway school bus he’s a Minnesota Man
A Minnesota man is opening up after he saved nearly 20 children when their school bus driver suffered a medical emergency.

i am a local unit DFL chair in Minneapolis, and Hassan is 100% correct here.
Hasan Piker on Amy Klobuchar and Angie Craig condemning and trying to cancel his planned event with Ilhan Omar and Omar Fateh:
"I have a lot of fans in Minneapolis. Minneapolis is one of the more radical, Democratic base of supports in the country. I'm willing that there are more people deeply invested in the party in Minneapolis that are fans of mine than fucking Amy Klobuchar, you know what I mean?
I'm so tired, man. I'm tired. What you do not realize is this: When you make a big deal about a narrative that is entirely reactionary, designed to cause an outrage cycle in Minnesota, as a Democrat, even if you like your big donors, you should privately assure that we are different than one another; we're not fans of each other, but it's a big tent and we gotta defeat Donald Trump.
These guys [centrist Democrats] think there is this broad, anti-Hasan sentiment bubbling up. They do not see that these attacks only make them look like they're deeply out of touch and deeply out of step. Klobuchar, you're going to win. It's going to be a blowout victory. What are you doing? This is your time to actually lean in to your base.
I'm just so tired. The Somali community is constantly under attack by the exact same forces that are trying to present me as this big danger and you have prominent Democrats in this state leaning into it. Disgusting."

Many may not realize how historic this is, marking the first time the general public has been allowed to sit on the Nicollet Mall since 2015, before it was paved over for the Superbowl and became a vapid wasteland for corporate events. This is the same section in October 2005: – at Minneapolis, MN

it’s wild that anyone actually invested in Minneapolis would support robot cars. they provide absolutely zero economic benefits to our city.
robots don’t pay taxes, buy goods from our small businesses, send their kids to our public schools, buy homes in our community, etc etc
robin wonsley giving hope to the rideshare drivers in city council chambers after jacob frey’s veto of the waymo ordinance that would require a human safety monitor. tells them she’ll be introducing a new ordinance, details were handed out to CMs. also talked about the economic benefit rideshare drivers provide vs robot taxis

ilhan omar is a naturalized black muslim woman & an outspoken critic of trump and us foreign wars. its not an accident that they're targeting her with lawfare to engage in electioneering. this is unprecedented. this is a perversion of justice that further erodes our social fabric
The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement:
“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible.
Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.
Trump is trying to start a race war in Minnesota: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
