As a member of the Afghan military's Female Tactical Platoon, Farida Mohammadi served alongside U.S. Army soldiers seeking out the Taliban. Her job was to work with women and children, searching them for weapons and gathering information. One of her comrades was shot doing this, she said, and her team sometimes came under enemy fire.

Mohammadi said she prides herself on being tough. But after the Trump administration halted refugee resettlement to the U.S., last week, the 28-year-old was brought to tears.

“I have to admit, even I cried,” Mohammadi said. “That was the only hope that I had, and that was the only way that I could unite with my family. But now I don't have that option anymore."

As we all know, PA is a battleground state that ended up going to Trump by 1.7% in the last election. As someone who resides in PA, I live in a precinct where Harris got a little over 80% of the vote, but it shifted about 5% to the right from 2020. In addition, we have a Democrat governor, but we now have a Republican Attorney General. Therefore, I'm conflicted on whether my area is safe enough during the Trump admin, or if I'm better off moving to a blue state. I especially ask this because I'm not far from Delaware, a state that I grew up in, which is obviously a sapphire blue state.

Veronica Rodriguez needs your support. Read her story. Sign the petition. Email local media. Email decision-makers.

She was afraid of the man she was out with so she started to record. He gr*aped her that night. When she reported it, the Lebanon police charged her for recording and reporting the incident. The judge had issued a gag order against her and her family. We must be her voice.

Last fall, Dave McCormicks campaign ads said nothing of what he was going to do, nor anything about his public office experience (of which he had none)

It was mostly about his West Point degree and how he served in the military with honor, dignity, truth, justice, and the American way.

And what happens when a known drunk and womanizer gets nominated for Secretary or Defense? McCormick votes for him 🙄

Seems the obvious choice.

YOU ALL SHOULD!

PROTECT OUR WOMEN!

Everybody wanna be a gangster. And the stupid gets more stupid.

I've heard a lot about Fetterman moving right. Joined Truth Social, called for a Trump pardon. Just wondering, do you think he likely switches parties by 2028, becomes a Republican, becomes an Independent, or stays a Zell Miller Democrat. Or do you think he's still pretty Democratic for a while.

I briefly mentioned this in my last post on here, but I'd like to discuss this further. For those of you who are blaming the Democrats for why Trump won (despite voting for Harris), it indicates to me that you all believe that the Democrats are the ones responsible for the potential end of our democracy and well as the potential rise in fascism. Are there any of you that truly believe that the Democrats are the ones responsible for our democracy ending and fascism beginning if that does end up happening under Trump? If so, I think that is so messed up since the Democrats have always cared about our democracy and were always against fascism, unlike Trump. Therefore, blaming the Democrats for the death of our democracy and fascism resurrecting, not only isn't fair, but it makes this unfortunate situation even worse. While I previously mentioned that it's the Supreme Court's fault, I'm fine if you all disagree with me on that as it's just my opinion. It's only when you all blame the Democrats that bothers me for the reasons that I just discussed.

This is a follow up to my previous post where I shared that it's the Supreme Court's fault that Trump won. What baffled me was how there were some folks who said that the Democrats are to blame even though they voted for Harris themselves. To those of you who that feel that way, how is it that you all are turning a blind eye to the fact that polls from late 2023/early 2024 showed even Biden ahead of Trump when the participants were asked who'd they support in a scenario where Trump was held accountable and convicted on J6? This proves that if Biden could even defeat Trump in that scenario, then Harris would have very easily defeated Trump in that instance. I mean, Trump even won the popular vote, there's no way he would have done so had he been convicted for his J6 crimes. The Supreme Court was the reason to why we didn't get the J6 trial before the election, not the Democrats, which is exactly why I blame SCOTUS for Trump's win.

PS- In addition, the fact that some of you are blaming the Democrats for Trump's win also tells me that you believe that they are the ones responsible for the (possible) end of our democracy, which to me is messed up.
