Sharia literally means "a straight path to water" and is implied to mean "to follow the law."

Interpretation and enforcement of Sharia is where we see rights begin to erode.

Lastly, saying "Sharia law" is like saying "Law law" it's a ham-fisted term coopted by the west.
We should be extremely concerned for Afghan civilians, especially Afghan women, the Afghan LGBTQ community, and Afghan religious minorities —but in our concern we should strive to not filter words like Sharia through Islamophobic lenses.

Stephen Feinberg wound up in the crosshairs of my research on several occasions. I always knew he wanted to emulate Erik Prince but reading @MarkMazzettiNYT's piece on his possible role in training those who killed Jamal Khashoggi has shook me to my core. nytimes.com/2021/06/22/us/…
@MarkMazzettiNYT In February 2017 Donald Trump tapped Stephen Feinberg for a special task to "audit our intelligence agencies."
However the first time I dug into Stephen Feinberg was actually in December 2012 when his company Cerberus Capital Management decided to turn a profit off of the horrific massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

IMPORTANT CONTEXT regarding the John Sullivan narrative the far right is presently pushing.

John was repeatedly expelled from civil rights groups and protest movements for being a violent accelerationist and apolitical opportunist.

Thread from LAST YEAR👇🏽
...and like the opportunistic vampires he is here comes Rudy Giuliani texting with Proudboy James Sullivan, (the brother of John Sullivan) in an effort to reframe Trump's "trial by combat" at the Capitol as the actions of 266 "Antifa." Image
I'm disturbed by the amount of people who are calling this thread misinformation.

I'm not alleging John Sullivan is a Trump supporter in some sort of grandiose conspiracy.

I am plainly stating he is an apolitical opportunist and violent accelerationist.

People like John exist.
