  2. The internet is currently awash in right-wing propaganda about alleged fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs.

    Unsurprisingly, you can thank a mendacious right-wing influencer for kicking off this hysteria.

    Also unsurprisingly, the Trump administration is making the most of this opportunity to kick a blue state in the teeth.

    #Nick #Shirley, a 23-year-old conservative YouTuber who specializes in anti-immigrant videos,
    went to multiple daycare facilities in Minnesota
    — but only ones run by Somali folks, of course
    — and filmed himself “investigating.”

    He alleged that several were essentially non-operational and were instead fronts for fraud and siphoning Child Care Assistance Program funds.

    This video then became the basis for the Trump administration to
    💥freeze Small Business Administration funding,
    taking $5.5 million away from Minnesota’s small business development centers, women’s business centers, a microloan program, and more.

    You might be confused about how this relates to daycare facilities, but don’t worry
    — the administration is directly attacking those too.

    On Tuesday, the government froze all childcare funds to Minnesota,
    a move that leaves 30,000 lower-income families without childcare assistance,
    which functionally means that many of those families will not be able to access childcare at all.

    The administration is taking these actions even though it took less than a week for the wheels to come off
    and for Shirley’s video to be largely debunked.

    Even CBS News, which these days is known more for protecting the administration rather than ever criticizing it,
    found that of the 12 centers, 10 had active licenses

    Two facilities Shirley targeted for his big fraud reveal had already shut down earlier this year,
    which would make doing a bunch of fraud sort of hard.

    KSTP — the ABC affiliate in Minnesota that is so right-wing that it once pushed the story that the then-Minneapolis mayor, Betsy Hodges, was flashing a gang sign when she was merely pointing at someone
    — also did some actual investigating. They found the same thing CBS did
    — all but two of the facilities have active licenses and all were visited this year.

    KSTP’s review of state records found that the centers had been cited for safety violations, but no allegations of fraud.

    None of these facts matter, of course,
    because the point of Shirley’s video is to give cover to the administration’s attack on Minnesota for being a blue state
    and Somali immigrants for, well, being Somali immigrants.

    The state was already under siege by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    This was an inevitable next step.

  8. Why does Spotify keep pushing “blends” on me every time I open the app when all I want to do is hear the theme from “What’s Happening?”

    Both women died at the age of 75.

    Their show, which was first broadcast in January of 1976, would have been filmed and in production in 1975.

    Weird coincidence.

    Laverne [reading out loud the poem Shirley wrote in her yearbook]: "To Laverne: If in heaven we don't meet, hand in hand we'll bear the heat. And if it ever gets too hot, Pepsi Cola hits the spot."

    #Shirley was me working thru my head tapes, catholic guilt, 3rd child stuff and trying things that scared the shit out of me on the inside...even if I was usually the one who came up with the idea.
