Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

In serious countries that are actual democracies, strong mainstream parties force members who do stuff like this to resign, & far right authoritarian parties that do this are shunned from government. Here in 🇺🇸, one of our two parties has collapsed into far right authoritarianism. So neither happens.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

NY Times continues to normalize Trump: "Russia Pummels Kyiv, Prompting Rare Rebuke From Trump". I would not call the tweet a "rebuke", I'd call it a "bleat" - an obviously ineffectual, halfhearted, meant-for-show bleat. How about "Russia Kills More Civilians, Trump Feigns Disapproval"?

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill. They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.” But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.

House Republicans were able to pass this draconian, budget-busting bill largely because they gerrymandered three times as many districts as Democrats did and repeatedly blocked Democrats from ending gerrymandering nationwide bsky.app/profile/step...

The FDA has approved Novavax COVID19 shots for those aged 65 and older or those 12-64 with medical conditions that put them at higher risk for severe COVID19. It doesn’t make sense to restrict it to ages 65 and up, but this is what happens when Congress confirms an anti-vaxxer to lead HHS.

The gratuitous destruction of US scientific dominance is absolutely unprecedented. The closest parallel I can think of to what the US is currently doing to itself is the Ottoman Empire limiting printing presses to protect the scribes' guild. It didn't work out well.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
