@NYPDPC @NYPDnews Saving a life is an incredible thing - but someone’s darkest hour shouldn’t be anyone’s PR.
It is horrifying that this has been released everywhere like entertainment.

"What we’re hearing from people, they are screaming to get out; they are screaming to live; they are screaming for their children to live. And many of us veterans, Afghan Americans…we are hearing this every day,every minute of the day…many of us are staying up day after day"

[Brianna Keilar @brikeilarcnn]

August 31 is the official US exit from Afghanistan but for people trying to escape the window will close in hours.

"They're screaming to get out," @TrueBoots says, of her sources on the ground. “They’re screaming to live. They're screaming for their children to live."

Dear ___

Lots of people furiously angry at the Biden admin’s screwups during the withdrawal have spent a lot more time than you folks criticizing the wars (they’ve also been warning about risks to Afghan allies for years).

Criticism of the current debacle isn’t pro-forever war.

before Biden.The 45th president doesn't care that the #deathpenalty is racist & disregards mental illness. But his barbarism puts a spotlight on it - there is hope federal executions can end with him.
Let the horror of these deaths not be in vain:

In the last month Trump executed a man convicted at 18 of a killing he likely did not commit, 2 men believed to have intellectual disabilities, & a woman who was sexually tortured her entire life & was so mentally ill she was not competent. One more man is scheduled for death 1/

Last night, before Bernard was executed, former prosecutor said:

“[T]he system has failed Brandon.
I failed.
The rule of law & the judiciary has failed.
Our government is committing legal murder...”

Say his name. #BernardBrandon.

Bernard spoke his last words to the families of his victims, according to the Associated Press: “I’m sorry. That’s the only words that I can say that completely capture how I feel now and how I felt that day”

@SubaruBOY Ha!

@MikeWishnie @iavct1 @skennedy2504 Unfortunately the law excludes vets with punitive discharges, and vets with PTSD & TBI must have medical evidence from a VA doctor. Terrific step forward with some serious flaws that need to be addressed.

“Remember that the eight of us are in charge — we get beds and we kick [votes] out.”

[All In with Chris Hayes @allinwithchris]

Biden senior adviser Ron Klain says before Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the Supreme Court, he “stood in court and argued that votes could be added to the tally as late as Thanksgiving.”

Rep. John Lewis, a lion of the civil rights era whose bloody beating by Alabama state troopers in 1965 helped galvanize opposition to racial segregation, and who went on to a long and celebrated career in Congress, has died. https://t.co/PABvcp8tsw

We love Ivanka Trump’s “Find Something New” campaign so much that we made our own posters and hung them around Brooklyn.
