When you honor your most authentic self--your Spirit--you are allowing your Light to shine and touch the world. Living authentically, in its simplest terms, is living your Truth, the truth in your heart and soul. It's allowing yourself to be guided by Divine Truth and Wisdom, each and every day, and doing your Highest, most authentic work in the world. It's joyfully creating and living your Highest purpose!

So much time and so many exasperations. Seems like we will always be here although I know that good things are likely to come about, the waiting seems so arduous.

As was said — what's next. Gold lug nuts on the limo. We are wasting money on this super giant flags (where was that one made) and huge flag poles. There seems to be a guy with an orange face running around the WH so insecure he has to prove the U.S. is bigger and better because of the size of a f**king flag pole. No wonder we all need a break so quickly from looneytoons.

Stephen Miller is the kind of psychopath who wakes up and eats his own hate for breakfast. What a disgrace we are as a country to do this to him and all these ICE agents can rot in hell. Where are all the men he served with hmm? MAGAts who won't stand for a damn thing!
We Promised to Protect Him. We Lied.
By Tony Pentimalli
Sayed Nasir didn’t sneak into the United States. He didn’t hop a fence or break a law. He followed every step, played by every rule, and trusted every word of a promise this country made: Help our troops, and we will protect you. That promise was supposed to mean something.
On June 11, in a San Diego courtroom, that promise was shattered.
Nasir served the United States military as an interpreter in Afghanistan for over three years. He helped American soldiers navigate hostile terrain, interpret tribal negotiations, and survive the chaos of war. He risked his life daily. The Taliban noticed. They killed his brother. They abducted his father. His wife and children fled for their lives.
When the U.S. military pulled out, Nasir did what any man trying to survive would do. He escaped to Brazil, secured a humanitarian visa, and walked over 6,000 miles—including through the hellish Darien Gap—to reach the U.S.-Mexico border. There, he scheduled an appointment through the CBP One app and was lawfully paroled into the country to begin the asylum process.
He followed every step. He showed up to every hearing. He complied.
And still—agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tackled and arrested him in the courthouse hallway. His case, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) lawyer said, had been “improvidently issued.” No clarification. No due process. No hearing. Just handcuffs.
What happened to Sayed Nasir isn’t an isolated case. It’s a pattern.
ICE has begun using the vague legal phrase “improvidently issued” as a bureaucratic loophole—one that allows them to dismiss active asylum claims on a technicality, detain applicants with no criminal records, and ship them off before the courts can intervene. It’s not justice. It’s not order. It’s a numbers game.
And in Trump’s second term, the numbers are everything.
Internal memos from DHS and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reveal aggressive targets: 3,000 arrests per day, regardless of threat level or legal status. To meet those quotas, ICE is detaining everyone from asylum seekers to status adjusters to U.S. allies who risked everything for American troops.
This is what that looks like:
In San Diego, flashbang grenades exploded outside Buona Forchetta restaurant while ICE agents attempted to extract a detained migrant. Family members and neighbors surrounded the van. They begged for a warrant. The agents responded with war-zone tactics. Windows shook. Patrons screamed. A waiter dropped to the floor.
In Worcester, Massachusetts, ICE agents shoved a teenage girl to the pavement as she tried to protect her mother—an undocumented woman with a baby—during a street arrest.
In New Bedford, ICE officers used a hammer to smash the window of a couple’s car. They dragged Juan Francisco Mendez into custody, called him the wrong name, and discovered later he wasn’t even the target. Mendez was mid-process in a legal status change.
None of these stories made front-page news.
None prompted a press conference from the president.
But something about Nasir’s arrest did break through. Maybe it was the footage—his trembling voice repeating, "I worked with the U.S. military. I have all the documents." Maybe it was the cold-blooded nature of it: arresting a man at a hearing he was legally required to attend. Maybe it was the fact that even Fox News Pentagon reporter Jennifer Griffin wrote, simply, "This should anger every American."
It should.
Because it exposes what we’ve become.
We told men like Sayed Nasir that we’d keep them safe. We let them risk their lives to support American operations, and then when it was no longer convenient, we tossed them aside.
The Biden administration entered office promising not to forget our Afghan allies. “We will keep our commitment,” the president said in 2021. “They stood with us, and we will stand with them.”
That commitment now lies broken, buried beneath the flashbang smoke.
The Trump administration is doing more than breaking a promise. It is weaponizing the backlog.
There are still over 150,000 Afghans who served alongside U.S. troops waiting for protection. Many have been killed. Others—like Nasir—are now being rounded up by the very country they helped. By contrast, the Obama administration processed over 8,500 Afghan SIVs in 2016. Trump’s second term has admitted fewer than 600.
This isn’t immigration enforcement. It’s betrayal.
And it sends a clear message to every interpreter, fixer, guide, and ally in every future war America wages: Don’t believe our promises. Don’t trust our word. Because when the time comes, we will abandon you. We will forget your face. We will call you illegal.
And we will hand you back to the men who want you dead.
Representative Jason Crow, a former Army Ranger who served in Afghanistan, put it plainly: “If we can’t protect those who risked their lives for our troops, we lose credibility—not just in Afghanistan, but everywhere we deploy.”
The legal justification for Nasir’s arrest doesn’t hold water either. Multiple federal courts have warned ICE against making arrests inside courthouses, calling it a chilling violation of due process. That’s exactly what happened in San Diego.
The men behind these decisions—Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Trump himself—aren’t enforcing law. They’re staging a spectacle. They want America afraid, divided, and brutal. They want to make an example out of men like Nasir. Not because they broke the law, but because they remind us what honor looks like.
If there is still a conscience in this country, it must act now.
Congress must investigate the “improvidently issued” loophole. Veterans' groups must speak louder. Civil rights organizations must file lawsuits. And Americans—of every party, in every state—must demand that we keep the promises we made.
Because if we let this slide, it won’t stop with Nasir. It won’t stop with Afghan interpreters. It won’t stop at all.
This isn’t just immigration policy. It’s authoritarian conditioning. The war tactics, the courthouse arrests, the spectacle—it’s all part of the same doctrine: make the public fear, and make the state feel godlike.
We are either a nation that keeps its word—or we are a nation that lies.
Sayed Nasir is still in detention. And America’s soul is right there with him.
And if we don’t fight for him now, no one should believe in us again.
