The State Department is urging Americans to flee the Middle East amid Trump’s vanity war.

Does that mean he’s going to stop the deportation of an Iranian-American woman who was adopted by a US war vet and has lived in the US since she was a toddler but is now at risk of being sent to danger?

Is the Dow still at 50,000? Just wondering. Anyone see Bondi?

When Covid shutdowns began in Mar 2020, the US government tried the same BS, initially stranding Americans all over. Same regime, same cruelty.

Come to think of it: Covid shutdowns began in Mar 2020 ahead of a Nov election. This war begins in Mar 2026 ahead of a Nov election. Coincidental timing?

Maybe Qatar could gift some planes.

A tweet from Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Mora Namdar telling people in 14 countries to "Depart now via commercial means due to serious safety risks." The list includes Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.

A flight radar map showing much of the Middle East has shut its airspace, including most countries on State's list.

State's current directions for Americans stranded in Trump's illegal war of choice, compared to the current FlightRadar map.

There are at least 10,000 Amcits in Qatar alone, and the US government is saying we are on our own

He needs to be impeached for starting an illegal war. Let's approach our role that way.

Good.

And many airports and air spaces are closed. There are so many Americans in these countries. It's really outrageous.

Post from the US State Depatment, "Secretary Rubio urges Americans to DEPART NOW" from a list of Middle Eastern countries using commercial means. Call 24/7 at +1-202-501-4444. Countries include Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel/West Bank/Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, UAE, Yemen.

I don't usually copy posts I see from the other place, but this is really important. We don't often see the State Department issue this kind of directive. Of course, commercial options to leave many of these places are extremely limited right now. Personal safety is paramount.

He should audition for Cirque du Soleil. They are usually in the market for extraordinary contortionists.

The US stands with all the children, especially the ones our president assaulted and abused with impunity.

Something I hadn't considered:

Immigration lawyers needing to advise families on how to retrieve a loved one's body from the immigration detention facility where they died.

Not my case, but oof, that prospect hit me.

And small law firms like ours were pretty nervous about potential downstream ripple effects. We are really grateful to the firms and lawyers who fought these unconstitutional attacks.

We need Democrats to talk about impeachment every day. Not just Trump = Hegseth, Noem, Vance. All of them. Every day. Even if you aren't asked about it, bring it up. "And this is why the president should be impeached." Beat the drum so loudly that they have to hear it.

And as a result of this stupid, illegal war, it stands to reason that the cost of gas and groceries will only go up while civilians and members of the military are injured are killed.

This is the own goal to own all own goals.

Visa processing and US citizen services postponed in UAE from 3/2-3/4. If you have an appointment on these days, do not how to the US Embassy. They will contact you to reschedule when services resume.

This is not a joke: I need someone to check for a lost stuffed animal on campus at UT-Knoxville outside Thompson-Boling. DM me for details.

Ahhh, the 1st day of March when companies vie to get me to use a special birthday coupon this month that I'll quickly forget about.

Our role is to destabilize a country and create a power vacuum. We have no responsibility beyond creating the chaos. We won't help the country recover or govern, and then we just hope we like the people who fill the power void?

This is terrorism, right?

Wow. Didn't see that coming.

This war is Cotton's dream come true. He hopes it lasts the rest of his lifetime.

Gosh - just realizing that, in addition to family, we know a lot of young Jewish people on gap years in Israel right now. Praying they all remain safe. And praying for the families of those murdered while at elementary school in Iran. How will we all bear these horrors done in our names?

This man needs a neurologist asap.

Already have seen a few posts reshared on Instagram

Trump : we stand with the brave iranian people fighting oppression

People : so iranians in the us with asylum claims will b-

Trump : deported, yes

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

Trump must be impeached and removed or we are fully in dictatorship. There's no partial credit here.

ICE took their papers—and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

"Despite...proving active immigration cases, pending visas, or even US citizenship, residents were...detained for days or weeks. But many who were later set free are now encountering a new challenge: ICE isn’t giving back their immigration documents." https://bit.ly/4r0SuV7
