My heart is breaking about this. Tough prison sentences for Kashoggi’s lawyer and now a women’s rights activist, as soon as Biden left town. No more fucking fist bumps, okay Joe? We have totally been played. Terrible things happen when you totally sell out your values….

This has “I’ll sell you the oil but in exchange I want you to shut up about our human rights abuses, got that?” written all over it.

Faustian play in real-time action. Dr. Faust (Biden) cheapened and brought down American prestige and raised Mephisto's (MbS') standing in the world. And this on top of toppling the single honest Pakistani leader in ages just because he wanted US as a friend, not as a master.

If only there was a way to not be dependent on Saudi oil so we wouldn't have to close our eyes to these abuses. 🤔🤔🤔

Most folks are shallow and don't self reflect so low gas prices are more important than ethics/morals. Our convenience matters more.

Not even. They gave Biden the 🖕🏽and went about their business.

Love to see the women collectively rise up like Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez. Democracy is long dead. The great Howard Zinn said it best, “No progress is made without civil disobedience.” Chris Hedges says the same. Noam too. It won’t be us leading.
