Nick Shirley: "What sucks for them is they're never going to be able to get me. I don't drink alcohol. I don't do drugs. I'm a virgin. I don't have sex with random girls... I don't have any addictions. I don't have any vices... I'm religious... I'm everything they hate."

Greatly concerned that the clips emerging from SledFest misrepresent my sledding prowess.
I pioneered the running-start-head-first method and recorded top speeds in both Grade 1 & Grade 2 Stiff Sled categories. Once again, the @wedge.live mafia is obscuring my contributions to the field.

The constitutional remedy for a president who uses collective punishment against people for the crimes of a few is impeachment, removal, and disqualification, followed by a criminal trial.
BREAKING
The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

Wait til these LARPers “uncover” how ICE is spending our tax dollars
"What I think is lacking is, was there even an attempt made to try to verify the accuracy of what he was saying, or did they simply take him at his word?" says University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley about a recent video made accusing Somali-owned day care centers of fraud.
Here’s what to know about a viral YouTube video about fraud in Minnesota

The right wing focus on the people doing the fraud tells you everything you need to know.

I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example.
Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)
