@RaisedtoWalk The Voice of America is promoting Taliban propaganda

No, the threat (or often past experience) of being beaten, detained and/or killed is the biggest reason for immigration. That it's illegal to be a woman in public is another. Really @VOANews? Spreading Taliban propaganda now? https://t.co/qTkBHMAChk pic.twitter.com/yfxgjjegHJ

@SaraWahedi Selling out to the Taliban

The recent articles about “cooperating with the Taliban” are written by elite men who have fancy fellowships across the world.

They don’t suffer under the Talib regime.

My friend @matiullahwesa is in jail. He risked his life and fought for girl’s education.

What did they do?

Life in Afghanistan under the @cia backed Taliban (Noticed you're trying to paint🇵🇰 as the manipulator. #NiceTry. They're like @GregAbbott_TX's TX, can't even keep the lights on)

US lawmakers aim to extend and expand visa program for Afghan interpreters

@RaisedtoWalk The misery of SIV immigration

The misery of the "Gold" path of an SIV applicant, ie the ONLY one being processed. Note the 3 mo wait for denial for 🇵🇰 Visas. After Dec 31st, it's been almost impossible to get 🇵🇰 Visas for Afghans. This, IMO, is by design. https://t.co/RGQaRshRzA
