When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.
It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.
It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

The initial death toll of the massacres in El Fasher, Sudan by the UAE backed RSF terrorists is now at 2,000 according to local sources. Satellite imagery spotted massive stains of blood all over the city. At least 80,000 people are still unaccounted for. #Sudan_War_Updates

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
