What an unexpected gift to spend the day with @marwilliamson, whose grace, humanity & humor are an inspiration— yes when we agree but especially when we don’t. Thank you for modeling solidarity & for your willingness to muddle through the tough stuff in good faith.

My wording in a tweet was stupid, but only because I was hurriedly responding to activists begging for public pressure on the president. My choice of words was wrong but my heart was not. I can sleep fine tonight despite the mockery.

Marianne, you spent all day [2 days!] doubling down on a supposedly badly worded tweet. Do not give excuses that nobody with intelligence can buy.

I totally stand by what my tweet was saying. We needed public pressure on Biden to get him to send planes to evacuate more women. You might not think that’s “intelligent;” I do.

Your general take on this issue has shown you to have deep imperialist worldview. That is expected for the US elite.

Well which is it? Do you wish our butchers would stay in Afghanistan to rape, pillage, plunder and mass murder, er, "protect women" or not?

It ain't mockery, lady. Children are getting killed in this BS. Do you care or don't you? Because all I'm seeing is smug arrogance and apathy. This isn't a pissing contest. Human life and the life if the planet is on the line. No time for joking and sarcasm.

advocating for troops to stay in afganistán wasn’t a poor choice of words, it just reveals who to really are, and that’s just another democrat

“Wording”, “one tweet”, “only because”… ugh. Stop. Breathe. Listen. Try to dial up the humility. What am I saying? This is Twitter. Its stars spew ill-informed bunk to millions of followers and know they’re right at heart. Woke imperialism isn’t wrong — its just the wording.

You agreed with @BillKristol of all people on the question of continuing a 20-year military occupation of a foreign nation, which you incomprehensibly insist is not an occupation.
