This is neither surprising new nor creative but it is leveraging a more wide and powerful security state to enforce white supremacy

1/19 Edited to

... Read moreIn my experience, the interplay between security state mechanisms and systemic racism is a critical issue that often goes unnoticed in everyday discussions. The Minnesota Somali community, as highlighted, faces more than just social challenges—they are targeted in ways that reflect a broader strategy of control and oppression. This usage of an expansive security state to enforce white supremacy isn't a new tactic, but its implications are increasingly significant in contemporary society. From personal observations and conversations with community members, there is a palpable sense of being surveilled and unfairly treated under the guise of national security. This has fostered mistrust between these communities and law enforcement agencies, making it difficult to build cooperative relationships necessary for genuine safety and inclusion. Moreover, white supremacists' fear of the MN Somali community stems from the strength of cultural identity and resilience in the face of adversity. This fear translates into attempts to suppress and marginalize these communities through policies that appear neutral but have disproportionate impacts. Understanding this dynamic is essential for anyone concerned with social justice and equality. Recognizing how security apparatus can be weaponized against minority groups encourages more informed activism and informed policy-making aimed at protecting civil rights rather than undermining them. The challenge lies in broadening public awareness about these issues and pushing for transparency and accountability in security practices.

I’ve been the “before,” I’ve been the “goal,” and now I’m in the middle again—evolving, adjusting, and redefining what my best looks like as I grow and age. The goal post will shift… and that’s okay. This time around, it’s not just about the weight— it’s about taking care of my body, fueling it
