@AldenofSaturday @nofunin10ded @ODonnell4NH I don’t understand why you feel the need to deny the tragedy that is going on there. It is a legitimate point that we needed to end the war, but it is not valid to minimize the horror of what those women are going through. — PolitiTweet.org

@brutal_regime @kishineff @SpiritofHo @SecBlinken You don’t have to disagree with that to recognize that over the last 20 years millions of girls and women had opportunities to thrive in life that they did not have under the Taliban and that they will not have now that the Taliban are back. — PolitiTweet.org

@kishineff @SpiritofHo @SecBlinken Your point? — PolitiTweet.org

@Tribune_ofPlebs @queeralamode Valid point. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@queeralamode Yes, to some extent they did. But I also think anyone who thinks our leaving Afghanistan is some huge blow to the military industrial complex is naive. It was $43B out of a $780B budget; they won't be shaving $43B off now that the war in Afghanistan is over. — PolitiTweet.org

@ODonnell4NH No, the women of Afghanistan did not. support. the Taliban. — PolitiTweet.org

@KaoticSocialist @twistsmom @Protest_Works @drearpooson @tamarah67 Comparing American women not yet being able to pass the ERA to Afghani women living under Taliban rule is like comparing a cotton ball to a razor blade. — PolitiTweet.org

@BobbyT8080 @RichardEngel That is a fraction of the people we need to be evacuating. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@Protest_Works @drearpooson @tamarah67 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 — PolitiTweet.org

@RichardEngel I thought that too, and I’m sitting in DC. — PolitiTweet.org

@sunsetrs @SpiritofHo @SecBlinken Rape? Murder? genocide? Really? — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@SpiritofHo @SecBlinken 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. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@generalist07 @RealSpikeCohen 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”? — PolitiTweet.org

@RealSpikeCohen The army, even the government, is not the people. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@RealSpikeCohen 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. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@ActNormalOrElse @krystalball @jimmy_dore @briebriejoy @cenkuygur @KyleKulinski @davidsirota @mtaibbi 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. — PolitiTweet.org

@machi1332 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. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@codger_roger @machi1332 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. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@sapereaude86 @machi1332 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 — PolitiTweet.org
