Trump played every card in the book: racism, bigotry, Islamophobia, anti-Somali hate, and anti-Muslim fearmongering. Add Elon Musk’s millions and AIPAC’s money to the mix, and still, none of it was enough to guarantee victory in the midterms.
Even his last-ditch claim about cancelling $4 billion in aid to Israel couldn’t help.
Tonight’s message is loud and clear: Americans have a voice, and no amount of billionaire or AIPAC money can buy it
And remember when Trump mocked Abdul El-Sayed by calling him “Muhammad,” as if the name were an insult? 🤷♀️

Muslim Americans are making history in elected office. But here’s something that might surprise you: They’re still significantly underrepresented.
🇺🇸 11 mayoral offices
🇺🇸 98 city council seats
🇺🇸 32 state House seats
🇺🇸 14 state Senate seats
🇺🇸 18 elected judgeships
Now here’s the part that deserves attention.
Muslims make up approximately 1.6% of America’s population, or 5.5 million people.
But just 0.62% of state legislative seats are held by Muslims.
If state legislatures reflected America’s religious demographics proportionally, there would be approximately 118 Muslim state legislators instead of 46.
That’s roughly 72 additional Muslim lawmakers needed to reach proportional representation.
And in Congress, proportional representation would mean approximately 9 Muslim members out of 535.
The numbers tell an interesting story: Muslim Americans are winning more elections than ever, but their representation still hasn’t caught up with their share of the population.
Whether you’re Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or have no religion at all, American democracy belongs to all of us.

ترامب والحزب اليميني كان يهاجم الصوماليين في كل محفل ولقاء وهم لا يشكلون سوى، 0.08% من سكان الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية عددهم لا يتجاوز الربع مليون من أصل 300 مليون،ويتهمهم بالتسبب بالفساد والصاق كل مرذول بهم،ببساطه لأنهم يشكلون الوجه المثالي للكراهيه ( مهاجرين و سود و مسلمون) لا يتعاطف معهم الامريكيون السود ولا البيض وجاليه ناجحة بمقاييس ماليه وتعليمهم عال،و يشكلون مجتمعا صعب اختراقه بسبب تدينهم وتركيزهم على التعليم الديني ويعتبر مجتمعا مغلقا بسبب اللغه والحفاظ على المظهر الثقافي بشكل واضح. كانوا الهدف الاسهل للكراهيه وتلفيق الأكاذيب، فلم يقف معهم أحد من المجموعات الاخرى لانهم لم يجدوا شيئا يتقاطعون معهم ، ومع الأسف وجدوا انفسهم وحيدين حتى مع الجاليات العربية والمسلمه التي شارك بعضها في اسقاطهم معنويا.وحسنأ فعلوا حين صمتوا ولم يظهروا الإنكسار أو الألم من الحملة الحقيرة التي استهدفت وجودهم من أحد بل كثفوا حضورهم وتمثيلهم و ركزوا على الوصول لمراكز القرار في الولاية حتى وصل ٩ لكونغرس الولاية و جمعوا التبرعات لأنفسهم لدعمهم.
قصه الجالية الصومالية بالوقوف أمام الكراهية يجب أن تدرس وسيدرسها الاخرون في المستقبل

BREAKING: SOMALI STRONG! 9 Somali Americans won their elections last night despite the vile racist smear campaign that Trump has been waging against their entire ethnicity.
Victory is the best revenge...
Trump called Somalis "garbage." His relentless attacks against their communities were the most consistent racist barb in his arsenal this election cycle. He was convinced that throwing hateful red meat to his base would carry the day for MAGA.
“I don’t want them in our country," he said.
“They contribute nothing," he said.
“Ilhan Omar is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage," he said.
“Let them go back to where they came from and fix it," he said.
He called Somalia “barely a country” and said Somalis come from “hell.” He said, “Their country stinks”.
But last night, the American people stood up and showed him exactly what they think of Somalis. We support them, value them, and we think they belong in government!
Rep. Ilhan Omar won reelection.
Omar Fateh and Zaynab Mohamed won Minnesota State Senate seats in Minneapolis.
Samakab Hussein won a Minnesota State House seat in St. Paul’s East Side.
Mohamud Noor and Anquam Mahamoud won Minnesota State House house seats in Minneaplois.
Abdi Daisane flipped a Minnesota State House seat in the the St. Cloud area.
Ismail Mohamed and Munira Yasin Abdullahi won Ohio House seats in Columbus.
Trump tried to make them a punchline. Instead, they made history. The MAGA era is over. We are sick and tired of letting these demented fascists divide us along racial and religious lines. America is vibrant, multiracial democracy and if Republicans don't like it, they can get out!
Please ❤️ and share to congratulate these winners!

Minnesota Republicans made attacking Somalis a central part of their campaign. Voters handed them a crushing defeat.
By Mukhtar M. Ibrahim (@mukhtaryare)
For months, Minnesota Republicans tried to make Somali Americans the face of everything they claimed was wrong with the state.
Their campaign ads repeatedly and explicitly linked Somalis to fraud, violence and crime. Republican candidates singled out the entire Somali community, hoping that fear, resentment and hatred toward Somali Americans would translate into votes.
Their entire strategy was to demonize Somalis, to spread fear and to turn that fear into votes.
Lisa Demuth made attacks on Somalis a central part of her campaign for governor. Michele Tafoya repeatedly invoked "Somali gang violence" in her U.S. Senate campaign. Republican-aligned groups even used footage of Amy Klobuchar speaking Somali to attack her.
The clearest example came in one of Demuth's final campaign ads, which opened with these words: "These days, it's hard to even recognize Minnesota. Enough of the fraud and Somali gang violence."
Those opening words captured the message Republicans had spent months pushing.
Demuth portrayed Minnesota as a state in decline, singled out Somalis as part of the problem and promised voters that, as governor, she would "clean it up."
Her campaign treated Somali Americans as a threat to Minnesota, making an entire community a convenient target for the state's problems.
Republicans and their allies poured millions of dollars into their campaigns, repeatedly returning to the same message.
Their strategy failed miserably. And the defeat was decisive.
Amy Klobuchar defeated Demuth. Peggy Flanagan defeated Tafoya. Keith Ellison won reelection. Democrats swept Minnesota's statewide races and regained control of both chambers of the Legislature.
During his election night victory speech, Ellison captured what was at stake:
"Donald Trump literally demanded that we turn on each other, but we refused. He demanded that we turn on our Somali neighbors, and we said no way, never."
That was the central choice Republicans presented to Minnesota voters. They spent months trying to turn neighbors against neighbors, making hostility toward Somali Americans a defining part of their campaign.
Voters answered at the ballot box.
Elections are shaped by many issues, and Minnesota voters had plenty to consider. But Republicans made anti-Somali rhetoric one of their most visible messages, repeating it through campaign ads and speeches until the final days of the election.
They lost the governor's race, the U.S. Senate race and every other statewide contest.
Republicans tried to make Somali Americans the problem. Instead, their own defeat became the story.

HISTORY MADE: Omar Syed becomes first Somali American elected to St. Paul School Board.
Omar Syed, a small business owner, has won a seat on the Saint Paul Board of Education, making history as the first Somali American elected to the board in Minnesota's capital city.
The victory marks a political comeback for Omar, who previously ran for the school board in 2020 but lost.
A father with children attending Saint Paul Public Schools, Omar campaigned on improving student achievement, strengthening parent involvement and giving immigrant families a greater voice in their children's education.

Somali Americans celebrated election victories Tuesday night after months of anti-Somali rhetoric and attacks dominated the campaign season.
For many, the results marked a moment of pride, relief and renewed hope.
Insane!
JON OSSOFF JUST LAID OUT THE WHOLE SCAM IN GEORGIA — AND IT'S BIGGER THAN ONE DEAL.
At his closing rally in Morrow, Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff walked through it deal by deal. Georgia is listening: he leads Mike Collins 55-40 in the latest poll, and 2.2 million Georgians have already voted.
While Donald cuts a diesel deal with Vladimir Putin — 300,000 tons now, 500,000 in November, a million more after that, while diesel sits at $6.33 a gallon for American farmers and truckers — his own son-in-law Jared Kushner and his envoy Steve Witkoff are brokering the sale of Lukoil's $20-22 billion in international oil fields, refineries and gas stations to the first family's friends.
The buyers, as Jon Ossoff named them: Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's spy chief, who paid $500 million for half of the Trump-Witkoff crypto company days before the inauguration. Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat, the Syrian-born brothers financing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's multi-billion-dollar Albanian resort. And billionaire Todd Boehly leading the consortium. The United States government itself would take a 15% stake — through the same government that is supposed to approve the deal.
Then Marco Rubio: his State Department helped steer up to $1.6 billion in taxpayer backing to the Trump sons' tungsten mine in Kazakhstan — the company's own chief executive says it got 'direct assistance' from Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Howard Lutnick.
Then Pete Hegseth's Pentagon: a $620 million loan to Vulcan Elements, the magnet company Donald Trump Jr.'s fund invested in three months earlier — the biggest loan that Pentagon office ever gave. And Venezuelan oil money routed through Qatari bank accounts — $500 million in the first sale alone, more than $13 billion taken in by late July.
And Elon Musk? Apartheid Clyde is one of these elites. He spent $475 million buying this election, his companies took $10 billion more in federal contracts since he left DOGE, and his Tesla paid ZERO in federal income taxes on $5.7 billion in U.S. profits. That's why he tells poor people America will end if his side loses. It has nothing to do with them. They are just the infantry for an oligarchy waiting to happen.
This is not a presidency. This is the biggest Ponzi scam in American history — and it is a national security danger, because the men running the State Department, the Pentagon and the negotiating table are cutting resource deals for the family while you pay $6.33 for diesel.
So hear Jon Ossoff's closing line, and hear it like it's real: Raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God, in front of the United States Congress? Because next year, that's where this ends. 1 day. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.

Absolutely! No more intimidation, and no more free passes. Minnesotans deserve justice, and those who abused their power must be held accountable. Every single one of them. Period!

Despite sustained attacks from Donald Trump, JD Vance, some Republican members of Congress and influential MAGA figures targeting both @IlhanMN and the wider Somali American community, she earned her constituents’ trust for a fifth term. Her victory came after repeated insults, racist rhetoric and relentless political attacks.
Somali Americans continued to organise, participate and build public trust. In Minnesota, @daisaneformn Daisane won a Republican-held seat in the state House of Representatives. These achievements reflect resilience, hard work and the ability to connect with voters across different backgrounds.
They also remind us that the loudest voices of hostility do not speak for all Americans. These midterm results demonstrate that many Americans look beyond race, religion and national origin to judge candidates by their abilities, ideas and commitment to public service. Those voters deserve recognition alongside the candidates they elected.
I congratulate all Somali Americans elected to public office and commend every candidate who had the courage to run. I also thank the volunteers, donors and voters whose contributions made these achievements possible.
To young Somali Americans: take pride in your heritage and culture, and stand confidently in your citizenship. You belong, and you have an equal right to shape your country’s future.
To those elected: honour the trust placed in you. Serve everyone you represent with integrity, transparency and a strong sense of responsibility—including those who voted against you.

For over a year, Donald Trump has made Minnesota his personal obsession. He waged a campaign of retribution and weaponized the entirety of the federal government to punish our people. That ends now.
We delivered a resounding rejection of his brutality. I’m proud we protected the Governor’s Office, every statewide office, and our state legislature from Trump. Brighter days ahead.
