To me, this is not about knowing what is or being "right", but I've always taken it as what we should do when it comes to injustice.
We have come to far to turn back now. We leave in a great country & we can continue on the path to making it better for all, not just the few.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

Turkey is great, JD Vance apparently just can’t cook worth a damn. A nice, juicy, roast bird with some freshly-made gravy made from the drippings… great stuff.
JD Vance: "How many of you really like turkey?"
Many soldiers raise their hands.
Vance: "You're all full of shit."

Two National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C., and their condition isn't known, AP source says
Two National Guard soldiers were shot Wednesday near the White House and their conditions aren’t immediately known, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.Emergency vehicles were seen responding to the area.
