If anyone “should apologize,” it’s those who so cavalierly dismiss as less important the extraordinary systemic violence against women that will now be the prevailing reality for 20 million women. I do not apologize for my ambivalence. Compassion is the most radical stance of all

Oh wow - you don’t like that?? We’ll I also think that we (not as Americans, but as human beings) had a right to say no to genocide in Rwanda (which we did not do), no to the holocaust (which we did do) and no to any number of other extreme crimes against humanity happening now.

Could we please just *acknowledge* the horror 20 million females will be subjected to now, rather than deriding a concern over that as “faux privileged CIA feminism?” Can’t we just bear witness on a human level rather than do a mass “Yeah, too bad”?

And now 20 million women and girls will live in terror, plus who knows how many people will be killed. Does that even things out for you? Standing up for women isn't a joke, even if it is for you. I'm not even saying we should have stayed - it's complicated - but give me a break.

I was asking people to raise their voices to help create pressure on Biden. Poorly, even stupidly worded clearly, but I don't apologize for standing for the women and girls who desperately need evacuation. Mock away.

Listen to this! Ralph Nader breaks it down so well.
BREAKING: On his radio show, the great @RalphNader — one of my longtime mentors — called on Congress to investigate @Chevron and Judges Kaplan and Preska for their abusive targeting of me.
"Anything Chevron touches it corrupts... this smells really bad."
Listen below.

Are you under the impression that the "oligarchs who care for profit" are going to be affected by this? Do you think they're going to say, "Well, our budget is $760B/yr but now we won't be spending $43B in Afghanistan anymore so let's cut the budget by that much!"? They will not.

I was very ambivalent about whether we should stay there that is true. I wanted a very different kind of negotiation with the Taliban than what Trump created & Biden agreed to. But it was the president’s call. What I felt very strongly about was loyalty to our friends as we left.

Right. So if someone is in trouble and I try to help them I should think twice and not do it because I don’t want be seen as their savior after all. What a right wing talking point the left has adopted on this one. But it’s done now. God bless them all. Forgiveness. Let’s move on

That’s either a very naïve or very uneducated opinion. Taliban having better PR now doesn’t mean they’re different than they were before. But it’s over now so God bless everyone and we’ll see what happens. Btw the military industrial complex won’t be spending any less money now.

Lincoln/Biden had a very Pompeo/Trump week last week. Covering for them the way people are right now is astonishing to me.
