Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal’s family has released a statement following his death less than 24 hours after entering ICE custody.
He was a husband, a father of six, and an Afghan wartime ally who worked alongside U.S. Special Forces.
The family has asked #AfghanEvac to share this statement.
The way our nation turned its back on those who helped us at great risk to themselves and their families is an unforgivable national shame.
We owed Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal. Instead, ICE arrested him in front of his children and he died in their custody. We failed him and his family.
It’s long past time to Impeach Pete Hegseth.

Pete Hegseth spent Trump’s first term lobbying for the pardons of two men charged or convicted of alleged war crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This term, Secretary Hegseth is openly committing war crimes himself, with his televised declaration of “no quarter.”
A U.S. Tomahawk missile strike was responsible for the deaths of 175 at a girls school in Iran.
Reports show the US military has used Anthropic’s Claude to select targets in Iran.
The Pentagon refused to confirm or deny whether AI had any role in the school’s bombing:

In the middle of an energy crisis…
as faulty AI may be to blame for killing hundreds of children…
Chuck Schumer & other crypto/AI friendly Dems are letting lobbyists fly them around on luxury trips.
Utterly shameful.

Fantastic news! This will block current work on the ICE detention center DHS wants to build in Hagerstown, MD.
One thing I’ve learned from the CFPB fight: even if we win in court, we have to keep fighting on the Hill & in the streets! @nteu335.bsky.social

A concrete look at how the Trump’s attack on the Consumer Bureau (CFPB) harms everyone—as big tech, big bank, student loan servicers and auto lenders continue unsupervised due to Russell Vought’s assault on our finances.
A wonderful @newyorker.com piece by E. Tammy Kim:

A folk logic about it is starting to develop. People may not understand the monopolies and geopolitics of renewable energy at a gradual level. But they can see data centers, hear data centers, and read their electric bill statements. They are angry.
It was so great to join @samseder.bsky.social and @emmavigeland.bsky.social on the @majorityreport.bsky.social today to discuss my campaign for the U.S. House to represent #MD06!

In fact, David Trone is on the record against the very Obama-era deal meant to ensure Iran never developed a nuclear weapon: the JCPOA.
“I would have voted against the deal” he said in a 2018 interview.
This isn’t the leadership we need.

I agree the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran raise concerns. Where David Trone and I differ is my concerns don’t end at the lack of Congressional authorization for this war.
The path to nuclear nonproliferation is diplomacy, not bombing elementary schools and murdering kids abroad.
We had a deal with Iran to avoid nuclear proliferation—Trump tore it up.
If the US-Israel attack on Iran was for deterrence, why’d they hit a girl’s elementary school, killing 148?
Yes, only Congress can authorize war. But Delaney misses the point: we need to fund schools, not murder kids abroad.
My buddy Alexis Goldstein is running for Congress. She is not only a badass who will fight for the people of Maryland and the United States; she is a financial expert who can and will go toe to toe with the rich assholes intent on amassing more wealth. secure.actblue.com/donate/alexi...
My friend Alexis Goldstein is a warrior against Wall Street and oligarchy. The Trump regime fired her from the CFPB as part of their plot to gut consumer protections.
Now, she’s running for Congress. Please donate if you can.
She’s a real one!
Retired CFPB Union Member Alexis Goldstein explains why she stood up to DOGE (and was fired for it). #stopvought #savecfpb
I’m running for U.S. Congress because I think we should build libraries, not ICE jail, fund schools, not data centers, and end forever wars.
