Somalians daycare centers are so hot right now.

Federal agents are investigating childcare centres in the state of Minnesota, after right-wing YouTuber Nick Shirley alleged in a viral video that Somali-run centres are taking public money without providing care.

In a post on X on Monday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said immigration agents were "on the ground in Minneapolis right now conducting a massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud".

DHS recently increased immigration enforcement in the state, home to the largest Somali population in the US, after President Donald Trump said he didn't want Somali immigrants in the country.

State officials have pushed back against allegations in the video.

The video, which has had millions of views on multiple social media platforms since being posted over the weekend, accused nearly a dozen centres of not providing any actual services or having any children present when Mr Shirley visited.

Need a BenjiLLM to make a witty remark because I'm dumbfounded. It's almost like all the European "equivalents" to Trump aren't actually equivalent.

This and "pretend everyone is 12" have been pretty strong for political discourse this year.

are you saying that we can accurately say it sure looks like everybody is acting 12, or that this is the common leftist response to people with genuine criticisms and concerns

because I was gonna say, on the "ethiopian food" bit, apply that to like, indian street food, are we gonna call people refusing to eat that 12 year olds throwing a tantrum at the dinner table?



"oh get over yourself, you'll survive, hell THEY do, it's just their culture, you need to respect it, what are  you, 12?"

Denmark: Social Democrats largest party in parliament, is current government, second largest party is traditional center-right party. The "far-right" party is only one seat bigger than both GREEN LEFT and Liberals. I imagine they're confusing this with the Dutch?
Spain: Social Democrats second largest party in parliament, is current government, traditional conservative party is largest party. The "far-right" party is only marginally bigger than the far-left party that's part of the government. Maybe they're talking about Franco?
UK: I guess they mean because Farage is projected to win the next election currently but the center-left party has a dominant majority and doesn't need to call an election until 2029.
France: Le Pen is in prison and disqualified for the next election. The left and center coalitions are the dominant ones.
Germany: Grand Coalition, the parties still refuse to cooperate with AfD.
Italy: I suppose this technically counts but as one of the replies points out, they already had Berlusconi for years. (And their populist revolt party led by a comedian is kind of dying off.)

Can't verify whether that was truly her intention so take that with a grain of salt. The AFD couldn't dream for a better commercial though anyway
