Everything we've seen over the last week in Kabul -- horrific carnage, mass deaths of civilians, reckless bombing -- has been going on in Afghanistan for 20 years. That only difference is people are paying attention now. That's why the war needs to end:

Having military leaders bomb a residential area and wipe out an entire family including children, then watch them & their media allies lie about it (we killed only ISIS planners, no civilian casualties) is the most fitting end to the war in Afghanistan:

Rep. @IlhanMN is calling on President Joe Biden to pardon Daniel Hale, a former Air Force intelligence analyst who leaked top secret documents revealing the inner workings and civilian consequences of the U.S. military’s drone program. https://t.co/0eCIQlyXKV

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

The US Govt knew for years that there was no viable Afghan Security Forces but deliberately and knowingly lied to the public, pretending they were succeeding, to justifying the ongoing war.

That's not me saying it. Read the WashPost in 2019:

And they did it by spending/funneling $300million EVERY DAY for 20 straight years.

Senator Mike Gravel devoted his life to ending the violence that America had unleashed across the world. Here, in his own words, is what that struggle meant to him.

Senator Mike Gravel gave us one of the best 2 minutes in debate history. Thank you for your service. Rest in power.

Donald Rumsfeld was a merciless war criminal who presided over systemic torture, massacres of civilians, illegal wars. That’s his legacy and how he should forever be remembered.

Israeli police arrest a 10 year old Palestinian boy in Jerualem and his sister is crying pleading for his release.

[Dan Cohen @dancohen3000]

Israel just destroyed the al-Shorouq tower in central Gaza City. Numerous families lived there and it housed several media outlets. It's also where I stayed for much of the time I lived in Gaza. Surreal to watch.

🚨BREAKING🚨: Six members of the U.S. Congress—Rashida Tlaib, Jim McGovern, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Jamie Raskin, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—are demanding the DOJ review my Chevron-tainted prosecution.

This is huge. Stay with me—we can beat this.

The Guardian just published an article on my "Kafkaesque" house arrest in America after beating Chevron in court. Now 600 days without trial.

Brazilian Supreme Court just invalidated the criminal convictions of ex-President Lula da Silva, restoring his political rights and rendering him eligible to run against Bolsonaro in 2022. He was leading all polls when convicted in 2018.

RW blogs are mad bc I said Pepe Le Pew added to rape culture. Let’s see.
1. He grabs/kisses a girl/stranger, repeatedly, w/o consent and against her will.
2. She struggles mightily to get away from him, but he won’t release her
3. He locks a door to prevent her from escaping.

If Harris overruled the parliamentarian, it would have required 41 votes to keep the $15 min wage in the COVID bill. Dem leaders removed the measure and turned it into an amendment requiring 60 votes, which was never going to happen. https://t.co/R6dlulBKii
