“We Own This City illustrates the US in microcosm today: a society in collapse because the security forces entrusted to protect its core liberal values—tolerance, freedom of association and speech, the consent of the governed—actually reject them as threats to security.”

the fact that 9 million afghans might go hungry in april - the biggest threat of famine in afghanistan in 25 years - because they are short $93 million should be a much bigger story

Thousands of Afghans who are working in the Gulf countries and have come to Afghanistan on vacation to spend time with their families, are facing problems because of lack of direct commercial flights. There is dire need for all direct commercial flights to resume from Kabul,etc.

even if they didn’t, they should be allowed safety and refuge after all the misery and pain the world has inflicted on Afghans. let’s not value them by their contributions or capitalistic value. let’s value human dignity.

looking forward to the day Afghanistan is ruled by afghans. a day when Pakistan has no say over our future and an Afghan economy that doesn’t collapse because it was built to be reliant and dependent on western donors.

You know what they say: If you want the job of saving millions of innocent lives done right, you’ve got to do it yourself. Sam sat down with @nuraphd and @87films to understand how local organizing efforts are picking up the slack in the fight to save Afghan lives.

in my experience many newly arrived Afghans are extremely grateful for having found safety in the US but are utterly shocked and angry about what comes after and how the US, the wealthiest country on earth, is unable to get basic things such as healthcare and housing right
