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

Can my people PLEASE stop putting Alindi and Shahs prints on batis.These prints have cultural significance, and there’s no reason to put them on baatis just to sell them to ajnabis.If you’re not going to wear them the way they’re traditionally meant to be worn, then don’t wear it

Ilhan Omar thanks her supporters for the first time since the search of her Washington DC home:
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for the support to everyone who sent a note of support, and for everyone who sent $5, $10, or $20. That goes a long way as we fight against these intimidation tactics. We are not going to be intimidated, we are not going to be silenced, and we are not going to be scared. We will keep campaigning to win the midterms and hold this administration accountable." #Ilhanomar #USA
Before Christianity & Islam the people of the Horn were almost one same blood & similar culture. Then 2 foreign religions arrived and turned brothers into enemies now we’re arguing over who’s more Muslim or Christian while the real division was created by the religions themselves

Trending Story: Saudi Arabia has exe/cuted two Bangladeshi nationals, Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siri Akhtar, following conviction of immoral sexual act inside a mosque in Mecca.
The “immoral act” was apparently a kiss on the forehead. They were newlyweds who decided to spend their honeymoon in Mecca.
According to reports in Bangladesh, Saudi authorities refused to consider they were a couple, and the forehead kiss was an expression of appreciation to Allah for a beautiful bride.
Their bodies have arrived in Bangladesh in two coffins for traditional burial rites.

I used to tweet only in Somali back in 2021-22. Somehow, over the last three years I completely switched to English 24/7. I guess it just felt more modern or trendy at the time… but looking at this warning now it hits hard. Genuinely worried about the decline.
What I also notice is tht many Somali diaspora look down on using the Somali lan online while most other diasporas proudly use their native languages. Even if you thnk people back home have fallen behind due to decades of war and poor education don't blame the language or culture

They want to cut up little girls’ vaginas and then sew them almost shut because that way men can tell if their brides are virgins. The fact that it means unimaginable suffering for the victims and a far greater risk of death in childbirth is unimportant to these people. The West could help put a stop this barbaric practice by making foreign aid contingent upon the Somali government’s making FGM illegal and actively working to stop it. It would cost us absolutely nothing, and it would do so much to help Somali girls, but we won’t do it because no one actually cares about these girls. If 99% of Somali boys were having their penises chopped off, you can bet that the world would do more than just shrug it off.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is an MP in Somalia THIS WEEK defending the mutilation of little girls because it benefits men.
I am running out of words for the sheer inhumanity of these men. And the female politician laughing behind him should be ashamed. But that would require a conscience.
Around 99% of Somali women and girls have undergone #FGM, yet politicians openly defend this horrific abuse.
And what do we do? Keep pouring billions into Somalia while pretending it is building a functioning state.
Why are British taxpayers funding institutions whose politicians show such contempt for little girls?
Not another penny without accountability. I am sick of this madness.

Omg you guys, it's true. Ilhan Omar came here on a student visa, then quit school and just started working. Total immigration fraud, blatant.
Oh wait, that wasn't Ilhan, that was Elon.

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.
Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.
Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.
Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.
In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.
The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.
