I am heartbroken for the female activists now being abducted by the Taliban in Afghanistan, and remain furious at how the US did not even try to prioritize their escape when we made our exit.

I am in contact with a large number of protesting women who are fleeing from one place to another every day. Their condition is very bad. The Taliban is after them.💔😔

How did US’s presence there for 20 years help improve any Afghani’s life?

at no point in history has segregation been OK. this includes you speaking to segregated audiences now in 2022. we see what you’re doing, marianne, and it’s not OK.

I hope people are also unreservedly furious at how the Taliban are persecuting the citizens of that country. The blame first and foremost rests squarely with them. No one is forcing them to do these terrible things. They could easily choose to do the right thing.

Oh Marianne, there are millions of Afghan women who were leading 21st century lives before the hand-over; it's the hand over that was so irresponsible and cruel. Picking a few to save--this is Sophie's Choice as a lottery.

They didn't need help escaping, they needed to listen when they were told for several months to evacuate. It's a tragedy but this was a risk that they chose to take, it's not the fault of the military for evacuating.

Their holiness is their salvation. I believe in miracles. All who read this, join me in prayer for their safety and salvation. There is nothing their holiness can’t do. There is nothing our holiness can’t do. Believe….❣️

It gets worse: the US funded, trained and armed the Taliban in Afghanistan
