"Donald Trump was so inconsolable about National Guard troops being in critical condition, solely because he had callously used them as props, he went golfing. Again."

Be careful what you wish for. Vesting in most US companies with retirement benefits had a 10 yr vestment. It was changed to 5 yrs in the ‘80s. Besides, what the likes of MTG get is nothing to what they’ve made in investments while serving we, the people.

Seems like all the fascists in charge had a really shitty Thanksgiving because everyone hates them and now they’re taking it out on marginalized people as per usual, and this is but one reason why they must never, never, never be permitted to take power ever again.

Same. I’m so angry about it. The US made him, granted him asylum, then threatened Afghan asylum status, and this outcome is the result.

None of this happened in a vacuum.
The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

I have an extended family member who did three tours in Afghanistan starting at 18.

He is now in prison for killing his landlord. He came home with severe PTSD and drug addiction followed.

Afghans (esp kids) who were used by our government in furtherance of this endless war experienced the same.

A veteran moving to the Pacific Northwest, then driving to DC to stage a mass shooting of government agents? Sounds like he assimilated into American culture pretty successfully.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I interviewed Aftyn Behn, who is running in a special election in TN7 — if you know anyone in the district, please remind them to vote for Aftyn.

She has a real shot to flip the congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social

NEW: ICE’s policy of mass detaining immigrants w pending deportation proceedings has led to an avalanche of rejections in court.

More than 220 judges — including 23 Trump appointees — have called it an illegal distortion of long-settled law. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Members of Congress get the same benefits as all federal employees. It is actually very common for pensions to vest after five years.

Keep in mind that white American males shot and killed countless Americans including many children, and no one ever did a thing but protect their right to do it again.

Among other things, the (nebulous but clearly unconstitutional) attack on naturalized US citizens contained in this screed is a significant escalation.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“
