Does anyone have reliable sources for how we can support refugee evacuations on the ground? I'm Canadian, I know our government has pledged to take 20,000 refugees but it's so difficult to get people OUT right now. I am praying daily for protection over the children and women.

Thankfully, the fabric of American society still has some of these wonderful people. Good on her. Good on the girls.

Sounds like WWII

Playing through ME3 so the "War asset found" sound effect played in my head as I read this headline.

Of course, they'll have promising careers building drones at Lockheed Martin.

I’m crying! So wonderful!

The old jihadist conundrum, do you kill the smart woman you hate or put them to work making bombs you’re going to blow yourselves up with?

Meanwhile those girls have been begging to come to Canada and Trudeau is too busy sticking his head up his ass in a snap election to care
greenvajene
I don't know if 80,000 falls within "several," but here's hoping they all get out
vlkr
Not just that by there are much as 15,000 americans still in Afghanistan.
UnattendedDeviant
Good for them. I hope to hear some more good news with the evacuation flights ramping up.
FuzzyX
They had wanted to go to Canada but took a US flight to unspecified.
CaptVito
This seems like end of act one of story about a robot army.
Holzter
They are a team in FRC, and as an FRC alumni I will gladly help to start a robot army if this story progresses to the bad act two.
Drewcifer70
This is a time to use those connections and some of their wealth. I applaud her efforts
kikisdeliveryservice
No idea on the ground there, but you can help when they get to your country, with no family, friends, money, belongings or common words.
ShadyEsperanto
Yeah, on the ground is tough. I guarantee you normal channels here wouldn't have worked. Inhofe wasn't "overwhelmed," he's just a (1/2)

worthless piece of shit who keeps getting voted into office because red state and anti-abortion. (2/2)

Bravo! That’s some really good news, among all the chaos and horrible images and videos coming out of the region. This lady is a hero!

They have to build the new Neon Jesus Evangelicon robot, it's national security related that we rescue them

can we maybe just do technology in our robots not literal angels?

*Sad Fanta noises*
5amNonsense
From what I remember of NGE, that's gonna cause a whole hell of a lot more problems than it'll solve
BeanDaddy4
We gon turn to fanta!
ciscoxing626
Pro tip, if you see a Canadian soldier stay close to him ,they are wicked good snipers, glad you got the girls out now we need to do more
BobTheBogus
Unless you have recently fallen into a vat of maple sirup. I heard the sent can turn them into feral beasts if they are on withdrawal!
RennegaddeFoxxe
What about the RCMP? Stick by them, too, right?
TheGriffin
Only if you're white and male
RennegaddeFoxxe
Hm. Sad.
TheGriffin
Given their history, it's not an incorrect conclusion
RennegaddeFoxxe
Yeah. I was merely ignorant of that. Now I am sadder and wiser.
ThisGuyPostingThings
The RCMP have a much less...savoury history. Especially if you're a minority...particularly certain minorities in certain areas.
RennegaddeFoxxe
Hadn't heard that so much, but have heard about schools lately. :(

Maybe not. My grandma had 13 kids.

How did you know about DadBot 5000?

boneh3ad
Crazy. Unbelievable
MstrES
Where does she find the time, energy, and self-loating to be a Doctorate Mother?
recliningpanda
Maybe finding a way to shoot some kids out into space to get more free time
Mualainen
Nobody wonders these things with dads. But yes, I'd guess adoption and maybe stay at home father and additional help.
MstrES
I'm a dad of two young'ns while doing a PhD, that is why I am asking sincerely.
CarlottaVonSprockett
I bet there are a lot of adopted kids there. From this article, she seems like someone who cares deeply, especially about kids.
Selerox
Ok, that makes a little more sense.
JudgementalMan
A role model for the rest of us.
Goldensands
Yes, but not because of the frankly excessive amount of children.
boneh3ad
Plausible. All I'm saying is I have 2 kids and already don't sleep.
Greyeyes1973
Nope. All hers. https://allysonreneau.com/
CarlottaVonSprockett
Wow! Just wow!
PandAnomoly
Damn. Good for her and thanks for the source. I couldn't do it personally, I would feel like a clown car, but props to her fortitude
