Twin Cities DSA fundamentally opposes this Islamophobia. We stand in solidarity with all working people, across religion, race and every other way the ruling class tries to divide us.

This rhetoric extends beyond just right wing conservatives. The constant Islamophobic smears by Mayor Frey's PACs have consequences and are putting Senator Omar Fateh, his family and his campaign volunteers in danger.

Earlier this week the campaign office of @omarfatehmn.com was vandalized with an Islamophobic message that said "Somali Muslim—This warning is no joke."

Just months after the assassination of Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband a few miles away, we take these threats seriously.
