An Afghan deported to Central African Republic, a French speaking 80% Christian country with violent christian-muslim conflict, autocratic govt and extreme poverty. Death sentence and deliberately, insultingly cruel.
Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching.
Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

Trump is basically running the government just like his Atlantic City casinos, except instead of using his dad’s line of credit while pissing away millions he’s using ours to spend hundreds of billions on vanity projects, the military industrial complex, and personal grift.

Those who believe things like this are working hard at not understanding the finite options available to someone whose abuser has not been prosecuted, found guilty, etc. by the law. And how rarely those things happen to abusers, esp. high-status white male abusers.
Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

The satellite that watches the eastern United States for storms went blind for 20 hours in July. NOAA cannot yet say why. Its backup sits weeks away from taking over. This is what a warning system looks like after the people who ran it were cut and its research arm marked for the axe.

Joseph Schwartz, owner of a nursing home empire, served just three months of his sentence before Trump pardoned him for a $39 million fraud scheme.
Meanwhile, families who won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against him haven’t collected a cent.
