“To accuse our Afghan allies of not fighting hard enough, then to use their alleged incompetence as a smokescreen for our own…To insult an ally from the White House as Biden did in his speech creates a lasting moral injury. And not only to Afghans.” https://t.co/SGq9Q1RMMU

The pandemic has confirmed what disabled people always suspected: that accessibility was always possible, but organisations and institutions just didn't want to do it. As soon as nondisabled people needed it, the access disabled people have asked for for years was provided.

there’s no excuse for leaving our allies behind by just not having a plan and there’s no other reality where the other guy doesn’t leave them behind on purpose and actively brags about it https://t.co/qe4NIftjLp

(In case you were wondering, no I actually will never stop making fun of people who said "maybe the Taliban has a point about free speech")

To paraphrase Buckley, I’d rather have the first hundred people from the Kabul phone book as neighbors than anyone who works for Newsmax, OANN, The Federalist, or Fox. https://t.co/1egWYPnUOk

It’s weird living in a country where “treating other people like shit” is an appealing political ideology for tens of millions of people.

My childhood best friend was the son of refugees from the Holocaust. My wife’s grandparents fled impoverished southern Italy. My Flatbush and East Flatbush are reborn thanks to West Indians. Brave Afghans fleeing medievalists want to replenish our city? Welcome

Out of all the dumb positions to take right now, “anti Afghan refugee acceptance” is the absolute dumbest.

If you're not demanding your party unanimously and loudly reject this view, and back it up with necessary legislation, you're playing both sides.https://t.co/ktLIab7zKk

Yeah the last thing conservatives should want is family-oriented people who work hard and love the United States. We need more eighth-generation people who think that a political disagreement is traumatizing. https://t.co/n4BYLSWOB0

I like when people are like “would you want refugees as your neighbors?” Hell yes I would.

the same Rs who cheered Trump for getting out, blame Biden for abandoning Afghans - whom they don't want to let in as refugees. pardon me if I don't listen to a damn thing they have to say.

I’m sorry, but did President Biden undermine democracy or incite an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in the last few days?

No?

STFU about him resigning. He’s your President and will be for AT LEAST 3 more years. Deal with it.

Fox has been openly reciting white replacement theory — the anchor bolt of white supremacy — since Trump endorsed the Charlottesville nazis who chanted “Jews will not replace us”

Journalists unfamiliar with Fox should call this white supremacy, not just “anti-refugee rhetoric” pic.twitter.com/UFu2mQdySp

Forget the 'forever war' nonsense. People are about to die--right now, about to die--for us, because they helped us, because they trusted us, and these deaths are preventable. We didn't have to 'stay in Afghanistan another 20 years' to evacuate personnel first.
