—>Please see my update below. Many thanks to GA State Rep Jesse Petrea for the eagle eye!
I saw this post on Twitter/ X about Minnesota (USA) getting a new state flag. I thought it was likely a joke. So I Googled it. It’s not a joke.
See here. Puntland (in Somalia) flag here.
- Bonus educati0n: Is Minnesota home to the largest number of Somali Americans in the country?
Update, August 6, 2024:
This original post escaped an update when the Georgia legislature started up in January and I got too busy. My fault. My apologies.
For accuracy and clarity, the Democrats in Minnesota did in fact change their state flag. The final design is much more similar to the Puntland Somali flag than the old state flag, but it is not the same as any of the designs pictured in the End Wokeness sample examples pictured at left. My apologies for the late update. I sent this post out this AM when I heard that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been chosen as the Democrat VP candidate.
Compared to the old flag that was discarded because it was too American, I’ll be happy to hear from anyone who thinks the new flag isn’t a bow to the Somali population in Minnesota and was put in place to erase more of the history of the state. The far left hated the state seal (here) that was the center of the old flag.
The new Minnesota flag is pictured above. Here is a link to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office website with the (new) current flag.
