Today is a month since the US withdrew from Afghanistan and left American citizens, employees and Afghan allies behind to hide from the Taliban.
The State Department finally gave some specifics today on the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. I analyzed the key points that are new in this updated post: emilypostnews.com/p/afghanistan-… #EmilyPosts #ProjectExodus
The State Department says there are only 100 Americans in Afghanistan who are “ready to depart”. It has a plane out of Kabul for them.

I know from personal experience that FBI agents will say anything to get you to talk. Even when JUST ASKING would be much easier.
I wrote about when FBI agents scared me into talking about my criminal ex when I worked at the State Department here: emilypostnews.com/p/my-life-insi… #EmilyPosts 2/
FBI agents called me at State Department (where I worked) and said they had photos of me from my ex-fiance.

“We have evidence that he’s having you followed,” the agent said.

“What? Why is he following me now? We broke up a long time ago." 3/7

“I used to work as Visa Assistant at the Consular Section. Due to my employment with the US Embassy, I am exposed to a lot of people as I had to interact with hundreds of visa applicants daily at the consular interviewing windows.”

Guide to U.S.Private Groups for Rescue from Afghanistan

This guide is an effort to bring transparency and fairness to the system of getting on lists. (Link in thread)
