"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:
If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.

So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?

I want to make an additional point here regarding the part of the reporting in the screen shot.
This is not surprising at all. It has been a hallmark of the influence operation that Russia has run on American white evangelical Christians for over fifteen years. 1/

The Trump regime granted the suspected shooter asylum earlier this year.
Now they are taking his alleged crime out on all Afghan nationals seeking entrance to the US.
Another ban. Another excuse for violence and deportation.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I just feel awful for the National Guard troopers caught up in this. They’re just standing around looking bored all the time, but they have been made into a deliberate symbol by the Trump admin and that may have made them a target for this gunman.

The Governor of West Virginia now has two conflicting back-to-back posts about the health status of the two National Guard members who were shot in Washington, DC.

Almost certainly a targeted attack at two people who had basically nothing to do with the moment and would have preferred to be home with their families. Compounded tragedy.

As @gregsargent.bsky.social points out, Trump *has* given illegal orders.
But he’s also so allergic to democratic ideals that the very idea of a military (or any other institution) that serves the people rather than the ruler is totally illegible and incomprehensible to him.
