On the day liberal-neocon imperialism was defeated once and for all, DiEM25's thoughts are with the women of Afghanistan. Our solidarity probably means little to them but it is what we can offer - for the time being. Hang in there sisters!

You are a joke - on this day of all days you offer hollow vacuous solidarity to the Afghan women and girls who are about to go under the jackboot of Taliban medievalism but you think making some half-arse convoluted sixth form cheap political point is appropriate. Pathetic.

This tweet is a mistake and you need to apologise. Not delete; just apologise and acknowledge how tone deaf it is. “Hang in there sisters” is appropriate to a shortage of chardonnay, not the prosect of being imprisoned in their own homes

This is such a heartless, oblivious tweet. Does not get much worse than this.

A good example of where a lot less would have been a lot more.
Imagine if the Tweeter had the presence of mind and the imagination to post only this instead:
"DiEM25's thoughts are with the women of Afghanistan."

Yanis I'm a huge admirer of yours but this is a really weird tweet, and really doesn't read well. I think you should clarify what you mean.

A woman's reportedly had her eyes gouged out, God knows what's to come for many more women and you think a trite 'Hang in there sisters?' is appropriate? FFS.
