1/ Collective punishment of tens of thousands of vetted Afghan partners won’t prevent radicalization. But it will guarantee fewer allies, more enemies, and higher risks for U.S. troops the next time we deploy.

The alleged shooting by an Afghan ‘partner’ shouldn’t condemn all who assisted the U.S. and now live here.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.

I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.
Trump Sued Me. I Fought and Won.

"Those who would twist this moment to attack Afghan families aren’t seeking safety or justice — they’re exploiting division and endangering all of us."

Statement from the @afghanevac.bsky.social veterans on the DC shooting.
Statement from AfghanEvac President Shawn VanDiver – November 26, 2025 On the shooting of two West Virginia National Guardsmen in DC We are deeply saddened by the tragic attack in Washington, DC, and our hearts go out to the West Virginia National Guardsmen and their families. No one should ever have to endure this kind of harm. We reject and condemn anyone who uses, or seeks to use, violence, and we stand with every American who is horrified and saddened by this crime. There is no excuse — no context, no grievance, no ideology — that justifies the actions of the shooter. AfghanEvac expects and fully supports the perpetrator facing full accountability and prosecution under the law. None of us want to be defined by the actions of another person, so we encourage the media, elected leaders, decision-makers, and other people of influence not to demonize the Afghan community for the deranged choice this person made. Afghan immigrants and wartime allies who resettle in the United States undergo some of the most extensive security vetting of any population entering the country. As with any serious crime, authorities will examine how this happened and whether any systems failed — and we support a fact-based review. But nothing we learn will change the simple truth that this individual alone is responsible for his actions. This individual’s isolated and violent act should not be used as an excuse to define or diminish an entire community. AfghanEvac rejects any attempt to leverage this tragedy as a political ploy to isolate or harm Afghans who have resettled in the United States. Those who would twist this moment to attack Afghan families aren’t seeking safety or justice — they’re exploiting division and endangering all of us. Our adversaries benefit when Americans turn on our neighbors, and so we must work together – neighbors, faith groups, civic leaders, and all who believe in justice – to extinguish rhetoric that seeks to sow fear and hate. Our organization stands

African Americans in Phoenix faced significant discrimination and were restricted to living in specific, often poor, neighborhoods. The all-Black 364th Infantry Regiment, stationed in Phoenix to guard the POWs at Camp Papago Park, experienced poor conditions and racist treatment from superiors. /2

Today in history, 1942: Three people are killed and a dozen injured in a violent confrontation between Black infantrymen, military police and Phoenix police. The 1942 Phoenix Thanksgiving Day riot was fueled by racial discrimination and tension in the highly segregated city. /1

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.
MNSPJ condemns St. Paul police attacks on journalists The Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists strongly condemns attacks on journalists by law enforcement on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025, during a federal operation in St. Paul. At least three local photojournalists were injured by less-lethal munitions deployed by St. Paul police officers while covering the story. One was transported to the hospital in an ambulance. All three journalists were clearly identified as press with badges and/or vests, in addition to having cameras in hand, clearly at work. All three photojournalists and multiple other local journalists on scene were also injured by chemical irritants. Kerem Yücel, with MPR News, was hit by a less-lethal munition in the shoulder and was transported to a hospital by ambulance. He has since been released and is recovering. Tim Evans, a freelance photojournalist with Reuters, was struck in the stomach with a pepper ball round. Aaron Nesheim, a photojournalist with Sahan Journal, was struck in the head with a pepper ball round. Evans and Nesheim did not require hospitalization. The three journalists hit by munitions shared with MNSPJ that they believe they were targeted by law enforcement for doing their jobs. Photojournalists are on the frontlines of documenting history and it is imperative that they are kept safe and their First Amendment rights are protected. Attacking journalists sends a message to both journalists and everyday citizens that their First Amendment rights will not be respected. The First Amendment protects the rights of journalists to report on their communities and provide information that communities need — information that, on Tuesday, was not transparently available from any law enforcement agency. We demand answers from St. Paul city leadership about why the city’s police department attacked our colleagues and a commitment to seeing that this will never happen again.

What if RFK Jr. reacted to his cousin’s terminal cancer as JFK reacted to his baby’s death?
When President Kennedy’s newborn son died in 1963, it galvanized research. A new Kennedy family tragedy should spur RFK Jr. to support cancer research, not cut it.
