At the #FreeDC news conference a group of white protestors came with bullhorns to do their Trump message. And despite the fact we were holding a news conference, starting chanting with their bull horns about Trump instead of supporting our message. Yesterday, these "allies" were asked NOT to disrupt, and yet they did. The problem with some allies is that they cannot respect Black leadership. Don't be that kind of "ally."

But the #Trump admin is rolling back programs created to assist >250k #Afghans — including the #allies who worked for #US forces & other #refugees who fled after the #Taliban takeover. And while admin officials say #SIV processing will continue, advocates for Afghans who served with US troops fear the curtailment of programs they depend on, along with Trump’s ambitious #deportation plan, jeopardizes those still vying for SIV protection.
After #Kabul fell to the #Taliban in August 2021, President Joe #Biden’s admin moved to resettle #Afghans who had worked for the #US government through the Special Immigrant #Visa (#SIV) program, which grants lawful permanent resident status & a pathway to US #citizenship. As of April, about 25k Afghans had received an SIV, & another 160k had pending applications, said Adam Bates, an attorney with the International #Refugee Assistance Program who analyzed #State Dept data.

This seems like some solid advice. I can't say I always follow it, but messages like this lead me to try harder.

Vance to Zelensky: “Have you said thank you once?”
Trump to Zelensky: "Your country is in big trouble. No, no, you've done a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble. You're not winning this."

Last video from another view shows Oksana Markarova, #Ukraine’s ambassador to the US, visibly showing disgust at this shitshow.

Trump to Zelensky: "Don't tell us what we're gonna feel. You're in no position to dictate that. You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel. We're gonna feel very good & very strong. You're right now not in a very good position. You're gambling with World War 3."

Zelensky has to explain that #Putin broke the ceasefire.
“What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?”
Vance goes on attack: “I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office & try to litigate this in front of the American media”
