As a veteran, I have three different friends who worked their asses off to make sure the translators and guides that kept them alive in country could get here safely. And they helped to sponsor their families. Because we put them in danger. It is beyond inhumane to do this to them. Fuck Trump 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Trump to deport Afghanis who helped the US during the war.
This is wrong on so many levels.
Since the Taliban has taken over, it has targeted and killed citizens who helped the United States during the war

Trump administration ends temporary protected status for thousands of Afghans
As soon as May 20, thousands of Afghans living in the U.S. will lose a protection that shielded them from deportation and allowed them to work.

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

There is a massive financial campaign behind Hegseth, targeting wavering Republicans. His team is also engaged in intimidating witnesses. One former employee decided not to testify after conservative newspapers identified her publicly.

Every day you don’t call your Republican Senator and tell them how you feel about the Hegseth nomination, you make it easier for them to ignore the truth.
Make it hard for them. Demand that they hold some standards.

Use Hegseth as Fly Paper, Say Trumpers
Very interesting update from MAGA-whisperer Marc Caputo at The Bulwark. Following on Trump’s tweet of support, the idea is tat Pete Hegseth has bought himself at least time to continue his nomination…

We're watching a video about the Homestead strike, and how the striking workers firebombed Carnegie's barge that was sent to protect the scabs.
I hear a kid mutter, "Man, why didn't the teachers do THAT on strike?"
Shout out to that kid.

This is revealing, I think. You could look at it and see a story about the federal workforce not having kept up with a growing population, or one about it getting more efficient, or one about it offloading functions to contractors so they don’t have as many employees on the books.
Also, the raw number of federal employees has basically not changed in 50 years, over a period in which the US population has grown by ~135 million people & US GDP has grown by a factor of 30. We should treat this Muskaswamy nonsense with all the derision & ridicule that it deserves.

Trump has loaded his cabinet with men credibly accused of sexual assault.
So, naturally, the media, with MAGA’s guidance, is focused on… whether one trans woman should be allowed to use a bathroom.
The American press never fails to fail covering this guy and his sexually deviant posse.
