Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

The Living History Now Project is still open! My goal is to gather as many perspectives as possible as we live through this moment together. Send me your concerns or what gives you hope, angry rants also accepted! livinghistorynow@protonmail.com

I am continuing my project to document as many voices as possible as we navigate this moment in history together. A couple sentences, or as much as you would like to share with me. This is open to anyone who wishes to do so. Dedicated e-mail: livinghistorynow@protonmail.com

Bluesky friends, I am collecting testimony from all walks of life about the moment in which we find ourselves. A couple sentences or as long as you like. How you're feeling, your concerns or the things that you see hope in. If you want to share it, I want to read it.

When you die, God won't ask about the two men down the street who got married, about the girl who had an abortion, the atheist that lives on the corner, or the woman who feels more comfortable as a man. He WILL ask you how you loved those people as he called you to do. And many of you didn't.
