It's been 894 days since we left THOUSANDS of our
#AfghanAllies
& their families behind to suffer.
We have an opportunity to make this right by passing the bipartisan Fulfilling Promises to Afghan Allies Act Amendment.
@TomCottonAR
is trying to kill the bill.
#AfghanAdjustmentAct
Over a year after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, volunteers are still trying to save abandoned allies. “I’m angry,” says Travis Peterson, a military veteran who has been trying to help Afghans who worked alongside him.
@PentagonPresSec
They left behind 51 of the contract bomb sniffing dogs that were in Kabul Small Animal Rescue’s care. While these were not “officially” military dogs” by some definition, they worked alongside our military members to provide security.
@SaulStaniforth
This was an absolutely disgusting response. Killing innocent Palestinians will not bring back the innocent Israelis who were killed. Palestinians ≠ Hamas. You don’t respond to war crimes with more war crimes!!!
Today ISKP targeted and attacked the
#Hazara
and
#Shia
communities in Pul-Khumri,
#Baghlan
province,
#Afghanistan
during Friday prayer. At least 30 people were killed and over 70 injured. Our hearts break for each of the families of the victims.
We call on the International
My adorable mom,
@Suthrnsal
, calling senators and congressmen and urging them to pass the
#AfghanAdjustmentAct
to keep our
#Afghan
friends here safe, and to bring more of our
#Afghan
friends left behind to safety ❤️
@PentagonPresSec
The US Military also released 130 dogs that were in Kabul Small Animal Rescue’s care into the airport. They refused to allow the American founder, Charlotte Maxwell Jones or her Afghan Staff that had been able to get inside the airport to board a plane.
The Afghan Adjustment Act allows certain
#Afghan
evacuees to apply for permanent status after one year of being paroled into the country. It relieves the immediate burden on the SIV process — which currently has over 18,000 cases in the backlog (1/3)

I’m absolutely devastated that not even once did he mention Afghanistan or those of us who have put our live on hold to uphold America’s promise to our Afghan Allies for the last 7 months- unpaid and putting ourselves through severe psychological trauma.
@UNAMAnews
Please recognize that these attacks are SPECIFICALLY targeting the
#Hazara
community, Afghanistan’s largest and most persecuted ethnic and religious minority. It is important to not white wash who is being targeted in these attacks.

I can't even begin to describe what a good guy Ryan is. He has a heart of gold 💛 Please donate what you can to his nonprofit so he can continue keeping people safe. I'm so lucky to be working with him!
We desperately need the following NOW:
$120 for a safehouse for one US ally in hiding so he isn’t evicted
$200 for food/safehouse for family who had to hide in a dark basement for over a month after

Please report this to the Dean, President of the University, and hospital administrators🙏 I’m so sorry you are experiencing this. This man has no business practicing medicine OR teaching students. He has so much potential to do harm to those in his care.
I’ve literally been crying for the past 4 hours and there’s nothing that will take this pain away. This is the pain of worrying about thousands of people every second of everyday for over a year. The crisis in

is not over. The situation only gets worse everyday

It's not just veterans. The majority of people I'm working with are just regular American who just care. We are not trained to handle the horrors we encounter everyday, but nothing is going to stop us from keeping the promise America made to Our Allies. They are like family.

We have families in safehouses (very expensive) and several more families literally starving. One family said they only are eating one meal every other day to try and survive long enough to make it to evacuation. Anything helps🙏❤️

Met again today with our terrific coalition of NGO partners to discuss their progress, challenges, and overall incredible work in supporting Afghan relocation efforts. We will continue to work together to help our Afghan partners settle into their new communities.

@VetSheepdogsUS
There is a lot of confusion about everything going on. I know you are not a scam, but if you could please clarify what’s going on, we would really appreciate it. There are reports that there is no one in charge of the airport, that Turkey is in charge of the airport, confusion…
Please join us tonight and for the next 24 hours as we highlight the challenges facing Afghan Refugees and specifically those of Afghanistan’s Marginalized populations ❤️ We hope to see you there!
@SpeakerPelosi
I am so ashamed that the

was not included in the Ukrainian Supplemental. THESE are the same people who fought side by side with US for 20 YEARS. What are you going to do to ensure they're safety and to protect those who were brought here?

WHERE ARE THE

DOGS THAT WERE LEFT IN YOUR CARE???? The state department did not extend the evacuation deadline to September 1st, the airport is not in control of Turkey, and NO PROOF OF LIFE OR PROOF OF POSSESSION HAS BEEN SHOWN.

Thank you so much Tommy for all you did. You are such an amazing, kind, and caring person. Please take care of yourself. I know you are probably even more crushed than any of us. ❤️
@binnahar85
Respecting another person’s existence is not exclusively a western value. LBGTQ people exist and deserve respect. This on top of the number of people from other countries who sacrificed their lives living in squalor so people can watch a sports match is frankly disgusting.
As millions of children across the US return to school this month; girls in Afghanistan are not as fortunate.
The Taliban has decreed that girls who are tall, over 10years old, or in grade 3+ are now banned from going to school & receiving an education.

To everyone messaging me right now, I’m trying my best to get back with you. I’m completely overwhelmed with messages and trying to get through them as quickly as I can. PLEASE DO NOT USE WHATSAPP AT ALL FOR YOUR SAFETY. Please do not share my number without talking with me first
I just feel so numb inside. My eyes just keep leaking tears, no matter how much I try to make them stop. The amount of pain and trauma associated with this day, both 10 years ago and 1 year ago is just overwhelming.
When we say the situation in

is deteriorating rapidly- we mean it.

Please remember that the word

If my mom

can call all of congress, you can too! Urge them to include the

in the

Supplemental bill! This is absolutely critical that this happens
Afghans should not be penalized for how the U.S. evacuated them and the means by which their family was able to reach safety. Please act quickly to pass the

Kabul Small Animal Rescue is currently trying to recapture all the dogs and bring them to safety. They are still hoping to be Abel to evacuate.
The situation for girls in

has gone from bad to worse. The Taliban have barred them from going to school and now, starving families are selling their daughters to put food on the table.

Please take care of yourselves. You all worked so hard and never gave up on these animals. I hope the dogs can be recaptured safely and that Charlotte, the animals, and all of her staff stay safe. We have not forgotten you and we will never give up on you. We are all crushed 💔
If the bills are not covered, the staff face homelessness and deportation and potential death and Paws animal shelter will be forced to close. I can’t be more clear that this fundraising is vital.
Paws unite people really needs your help. We have put everything on the line to help our rescue colleagues who are now refugees & we have a shelter to keep open & running. We appreciate all of you. Please keep sharing our mission. Rescue is about caring.
