House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT
This is a great thread on where the US budget is at and how we can stop it at each step. Going to pin it for reference while this is ongoing.

no subtitles, but i showed it to a somali speaker and she confirmed that is what they're saying. and apparently it's quite strong language, they're like "this is a shame, this is not democracy!"

Or Frey's campaign tactic of telling elderly Somali voters that because Omar Fateh lost the DFL endorsement, that meant he was removed from the ballot and so they would have no choice but to vote for Frey.

Feels like the story would have benefit from how Frey + his PACs spent millions blanketing Minneapolis in racist, anti-Somali smears on Omar Fateh and how their fueling of a the "Somali=fraud" narrative resulted in Trump's recent attacks on the Somali community.

Typically weird Strib Frey post-election story ignoring clear evidence he lost the Somali vote badly. Precinct 6-3 (Cedar-Riv) went 79% for Frey in 2021 but **87%** for Fateh in 2025. (It wasn’t redistricted.) Frey has courted Somalis, but not story this time. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

DOGE is down to about 45 employees, but others have burrowed their way into government agencies as full time employees. Some are helping Vought's efforts to downsize the government. Others are implementing private AI across government.

important post because it shows us that the American ability to retcon how not awful a past leader was is far from being a Trump phenomenon
Watching the funeral of VP Dick Cheney and listening to his daughter, Congresswoman Liz Cheney, speak. One can only hope that this GOP will find its democratic compass again and reject all things fascist. I didn’t always agree with VP Cheney BUT he was antifa. He always put country over party.RIP🙏

So there’s no path to citizenship…I think if people knew how systemically broken our immigration system is, maybe they wouldnt go on and on about emigrating “the right way.” I’m a lawyer and immigration law terrifies me. That says a lot.

Always happy to explain. None have citizenship (if they're citizens, they wouldn't need protected status). Some people (but not all) that have TPS may potentially have other paths to residence, but many will not. After TPS expires, people generally become undocumented.
Now I feel ignorant not knowing TPS for somalis is expiring. You may not know this, but of 700 on tps do we know how many have citizenship or another basis for residence? (And thank you for the context!)

For additional information, right now only around 700 Somalians in the entire country have TPS. Total.
