Suspect in National Guard attack struggled with 'dark isolation' as community raised concerns Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the Afghan man accused of gunning down two National Guard members blocks from the White House last week, had been unraveling for years.

In other words, this administration did not do its due diligence because they are too consumed with making sure that people looking for work at Home Depot or dropping their kids at school are ripped from their families.

Statement from AfghanEvac President Shawn VanDiver – November 26, 2025 On the shooting of two West Virginia National Guardsmen in DC We are deeply saddened by the tragic attack in Washington, DC, and our hearts go out to the West Virginia National Guardsmen and their families. No one should ever have to endure this kind of harm. We reject and condemn anyone who uses, or seeks to use, violence, and we stand with every American who is horrified and saddened by this crime. There is no excuse — no context, no grievance, no ideology — that justifies the actions of the shooter. AfghanEvac expects and fully supports the perpetrator facing full accountability and prosecution under the law. None of us want to be defined by the actions of another person, so we encourage the media, elected leaders, decision-makers, and other people of influence not to demonize the Afghan community for the deranged choice this person made. Afghan immigrants and wartime allies who resettle in the United States undergo some of the most extensive security vetting of any population entering the country. As with any serious crime, authorities will examine how this happened and whether any systems failed — and we support a fact-based review. But nothing we learn will change the simple truth that this individual alone is responsible for his actions. This individual’s isolated and violent act should not be used as an excuse to define or diminish an entire community. AfghanEvac rejects any attempt to leverage this tragedy as a political ploy to isolate or harm Afghans who have resettled in the United States. Those who would twist this moment to attack Afghan families aren’t seeking safety or justice — they’re exploiting division and endangering all of us. Our adversaries benefit when Americans turn on our neighbors, and so we must work together – neighbors, faith groups, civic leaders, and all who believe in justice – to extinguish rhetoric that seeks to sow fear and hate. Our organization stands

Statement from the @afghanevac.bsky.social veterans on the DC shooting.

Biden hasn’t been president for 10 months. Maybe Trump should explain why he granted this person asylum in April. Seems like maybe abducting people without criminal records off the street (while also illegally grabbing and detaining US citizens) isn’t really solving the issue.

Hate this as a Padres fan. But good for him.

This is happening at all levels of education in the targeted cities. It’s enraging. No student should be afraid to go to school - for any reason.

“This is about disrupting the way people think so we can get a completely different and much better outcome for the people of California,” he said.

So naturally he’s going to waste obscene amounts of $$ on a political campaign to try to convince people he’ll help them…after he’s elected, of course.

Stubbornly refusing to turn on the heater in Southern California since 2010.

(It is pretty chilly in here though.)

Also one of the most genuine and nicest guys in MLB. Rest in peace, Randy 💛🤎

I’m sure whining about it on TV will make it stop.

Charlotte’s not messing around.

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Bill Clinton is not protesting the release of the epstein files and I’m not hearing of any Democrats that are fighting the release of the files.

There is more to this than the obvious corruption. I suspect it is the latest attempt to withhold the incriminating Epstein files. If DOJ has an open, ongoing investigation into Epstein again, it can use that fact as a pretext for withholding any documents, lest it undermine the case. So shady.

“Just discovered”

This administration told Texas to pursue redistricting, per reporting. The voters in CA overwhelmingly approved a temporary redistricting contingent on redistricting in Texas.

I remain skeptical until Instacart weighs in.

Dear “journalists”: An excellent follow up would be “who’s going to share the cost once an individual with a serious illness or injury burns through that money?”

Liar. Coward. Spineless.

And the purity test comments are right on cue…

Oh noes - gag gifts? Is he ok?? I hope 🧊 is covering his therapy after receiving a sandwich plush toy.

I’m so proud of us, California 🥹

And we celebrate with you, NYC!! And Virginia and New Jersey and Pennsylvania too 🍾🥂🍾

So then who pardoned him? 🖊️

Never been happier to have muted all the words related to the most insufferable MLB organization.

The Blue Jays were the true winners this season. Their heart and team spirit are unmatched in baseball and any other sport. Minor league players became stars. Stars became superstars. Thank you for the memories, the fun and the great season of incredible baseball! #BlueJays

ICE Detains British Media Commentator

When ICE can target people on tips from internet trolls or because of their criticism of a foreign government, ask yourself—how long before they take issue with you?
