I wrote for @theprogressive about how memorialization of 9/11 has been exploited to justify American bloodshed abroad over the last 25 years. That started especially on Oct. 7th 2001, the day America invaded Afghanistan. progressive.org/latest/remem…
Remembering the Other October 7

Remembering the Other October 7

Less than a month after the 9/11 attacks, the United States launched its so-called war on terror, despite survivors’ objections. A quarter century later, the violence rages on.

The Trump Administration used $20 million in redirected DHS funds for ads promoting Trump. Congress must demand answers, accountability, and reimbursement to taxpayers. Our team explains why in @theprogressive progressive.org/op-eds/hold-…
Hold Trump to Account on Promotional Ads

Hold Trump to Account on Promotional Ads

Trump continually tests how far he can go, and it is the job of Congress to impose limits.
