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.

Are you trying to backpedal or double down? You seem a little bit confused…I’m glad you’re satisfied with the intelligence of your stance. If you’re going to turn a lot of people against you, it helps to have a lot of confidence in what you’re doing. I’ll give you that.

People can turn against me if they wish; I’m pretty used to it by now, I do not apologize, so yes I guess that means I’m doubling down, on my support for Afghan women.

There are, give or take, 19 million women in Afghanistan. That’s quite a few planes.

The fact that you stand by what your tweet was saying shows that your heart was in just as wrong of a place as your head.

That's why you're not only a moron, but also an evil ghoul.
Replying to @marwilliamson @Rosannasfriend @kjoAlex @briebriejoy
You said that the past 20 years in Afghanistan wasn't an occupation. What exactly was it, then?

Seriously? Have you asked the women if they want to leave their home?

The illusion that America will play the “Good Guy” is just that. An illusion.
