@wdlindsy So a creative and loving mother in #Minnesota , #ReneeGood was murdered by a violent #ICE goon because an #incel named #NickShirley - who was raised by an #UltraMAGA mother in a #BasketOfDeplorables in #Utah and knows *nothing* about how #ChildCare programs are funded - posted suspiciously edited video of a white woman who was born in the #UnitedStates and claimed to ‘prove’ he uncovered #fraud by #Somali #immigrants. Did I get that right?

Now Nick Shirley is the victim...

"That means whenever we see the telltale signs of racial bashing, scapegoating and group punishment, we need to stop the conversation and immediately call it out. They want us all talking about 'fraud' and 'migrants,' but what we are witnessing is fascism in action.
And that should always be our baseline response."

"The Trump team has been weaponizing disinformation and aiming it straight at immigrants for some time now....
The regime is doing it again with Somalis in Minnesota. ...
The Department of Homeland Security can only succeed in its ultimate program of mass ethnic cleansing if enough of the U.S. population goes along with it."

"A normal federal government would not take its cues from a random YouTuber and make a viral video the basis for a whole-of-government effort to crush a state. A normal federal government also wouldn’t use a random video from a 23-year-old with no background in government funding, investigations, or, well, anything really, as positive proof of fraud."

"The point of Shirley’s video is to give cover to the administration’s attack on Minnesota for being a blue state & Somali immigrants for, well, being Somali immigrants. The state was already under siege by Immigration & Customs Enforcement. This was an inevitable next step. ...
The problem here, of course, is that the administration is run by hyper-online trolls just like Shirley."

"But the actual Minnesota fraud saga — the one in court filings, verdicts, and agency statements — doesn’t cooperate with the morality play. ...
The most stubborn fact for anyone trying to sell this as a tidy ethnic fable: the mastermind whom federal prosecutors put at the center of the Feeding Our Future case is a woman named Aimee Bock. Brock is not a Somali immigrant, nor a recent arrival. She is a white Minnesotan."

"MAGA has discovered a new folk villain: the Somali immigrant in Minnesota, allegedly ferrying your tax dollars out of the country in a suitcase labeled 'Fraud.' It’s a convenient character — exotic enough to frighten cable news viewers, pliable enough to fit any storyline, and distant enough that the people being stereotyped don’t get to rewrite the script."

(continued from /5):
"while the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation both said they’re surging resources to investigate the matter. …
But:
"Shirley‘s video has now been pretty thoroughly taken apart by numerous news organizations, and many of his core claims have been debunked or at least called into serious doubt."

"The footage quickly went viral on social media, attracting the attention of everyone from Elon Musk to the FBI director to the Vice President of the United States and the White House. Just days after the video was posted on YouTube, the Department of Health and Human Services announced it is freezing all child care payments for Minnesota," (continued in /6)

"If you have been on the Internet in the past week, you’ve almost certainly run into content creator Nick Shirley’s video showing a bunch of Somali-run daycare centers in Minnesota, which he alleges are fraudulently taking millions of dollars in government funding without providing the services they claim to offer."

I know people who work in the non profit #ChildCare programs in Illinois and they take fraud seriously. I have a hard time believing they don't do the same in #Minnesota.
And one thing I learned from #NoAgenda is how easy it is to selectively edit from a ton of man on the street interviews, investigations or clips to show the worst results and make it seem like that was a fair representation etc. This lesson is rarely applied equally. #NickShirley #LibsOfTikTok

"Despite Shirley’s insistence that race and religion have nothing to do with his investigation, the YouTuber has a long track record of using his man-on-the-street videos to target immigrants in the U.S., platforming individuals who spread xenophobic and Islamophobic beliefs and conspiracy theories."
Shirley isn't even from Minnesota. He's a Mormon from Utah with a right-wing "influencer" mother.

"[Nick] Shirley participated in President Donald Trump’s 'Roundtable on Antifa' in October after an altercation at an anti-ICE protest. At age 23, his videos aren’t merely influencing his audiences — they’re also influencing government action."

As Jonah Valdez notes, unsurprisingly, behind the ginned-up right-wing outrage about alleged fraud in Minnesota's Somali community is a young right-wing influencer with a history of stirring anti-Islamic, anti-immigrant hostility:
"This isn’t the first time the conservative YouTuber has gotten the attention of the Trump administration."
