Enjoy this article from a Minnesota newspaper in 1882 noting that Scandinavians love their home countries so much that it will take them generations to assimilate into America. www.loc.gov/resource/sn8...

SCANDINAVIANS No people on earth, probably excel the Scandinavians, and scarcely any equal them, unless it may be the Swiss mountaineers, in attachment to their native country. The Scandinavian emigrant brings with him to this country, not only his love of home, but his attachments to customs and habits of his old home. So strong is this passion that it is hard for him to assimilate to the customs of his new home, and to conform to the ideas of American citizenship, but he remains in his adopted land, a foreigner, in all that pertains to his modes, manners, habits, likes and dislikes.This peculiar habit of our Scandinavian fellow citizens, and this strong, over-mastering attachment to their native land, has not been generally known and appreciated by our own citizens, "to the manor born." It will take several generations to wear away this foster land attachment, and to assimilate the Scandinavian emigrant, and absorb him into the language, habits, customs and true idea of a homogeneous American citizenship.

Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

You know what’s sad? Americans deserve the truth about an elected official and not one republican will step out of line to tell the truth about Mitch McConnell. And it’s even sadder that there’s a damn line at all. I’m so tired of this god forsaken era we’re all being forced to live through.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

I still can't get over the fact that our politicians get $558 per week for meals... WTAF? While kids get cut off SNAP 2,232 per month, just for meals. I will be mad about this for a long time. They have the nerve to deny low income kids food

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

This "tweet" from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now on BlueSky as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
