70 days yโ€™all! Senators leave their constituents out in the cold, our Veterans with their moral injury, and our Afghan Allies behind to die. This is not acceptable. Call them and demand to pass an #AfghanAdjustmentAct now! This is our country, not theirs. #WeThePeople #ThisIsHome

So today @POTUS decides that Juneteenth should be a federal holiday (a great move), and instantly @USCIS and @StateDept , probably the most backlogged government agencies, decide to close tomorrow. I want a new administration. One that works for the people. Thank you.

Nothing much to see here - just a former Legal Permanent Resident, now US Citizen, having to wait +6 years for their spouse to be able to join them. This is US immigration when youโ€™re not white. #ImmigrantVisaBacklog

@davidmweissman Iโ€™m not watching lots of media but Iโ€™m in touch with many Afghan allies on the ground - Clarissa Ward has been accurately reporting what those people tell me, starting from inside the city up to 2 days wait and +10 hrs wait on the tarmac. Happy to share messages if you want
