“Trust is the great intangible casualty of September 11.” My contribution to @TCFdotorg 9/11 roundtable. Privileged to appear with @PSchwartzstein, @HafsaHalawa, @AbuJamajem @Naira005, @rohadvani, @dahliasc, @3yyash, @MsEntropy, @SajadJiyad, @tcambanis, @aronlund #Generation911

Lemme ask one of those tone deaf economist questions that annoy almost everyone. Today, many families learned that the amount they owe on their mortgage has declined—in real terms—by 9.1% over the past year. Why do we hear so little about this? Why don't we see folks celebrating?

Steve Kerr on today's tragic shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

gn - "Into The Inferno," shot on iPhone during the Saddleridge Fire, 2019 on a shuttered freeway in LA. Been sleeping a lot lately, slowly gaining my strength back. The firestorms of the future are here now, and it's going to be all hands on deck. Welcome to the Pyrocene.

Great piece by @AlexMStark on US relations in Gulf. US job is to manage relationships and advocate for US interests. When junior partners want the opposite of what their more powerful partner wants then it’s not a relationship problem, it’s a divergence.

All eyes understandably on Ukraine, but other policy challenges persist. @dahliasc @CenturyIntl reports how Abraham Accords exacerbate ills they're supposed to address — and how to salvage progressive policy goals from the Accords. tcf.org/content/report…

It's been 10 years since we lost Anthony Shadid. I miss him every day. But some of his brilliance lives on — so many people mentored by Anthony who today practice his ethics, his tenacious reporting, his storytelling. worldpoliticsreview.com/trend-lines/30…

Until the U.S. invests in peace with the same effort it puts into military engagement against ISIS, the region will face predictable waves of violence. New from @tcambanis: tcf.org/content/commen…

Military action will never suffice against ISIS. What *usefully* can US/international community do? - Rebuild bombed cities - Promote good governance - Rights & rule of law - Reconciliation for ISIS adjacent & victims tcf.org/content/commen…

"Better governance in Mosul is a win-win proposition—an undeniably wise investment in human well-being that just might also foster stability in a troubled, strategic corner of the world," writes @tcambanis in a new report for @CenturyIntl. tcf.org/content/report…

Without good governance Iraq and entire world is vulnerable to the next ISIS. US has a role: rebuilding what it bombs & supporting reconciliation. This is the long game—for Iraq, counterterrorism & rights, I argue in a new report for @CenturyIntl tcf.org/content/report…

"A credible counterterrorism policy must revolve around good governance, rights, and human dignity," writes Century International director @tcambanis in a new report: tcf.org/content/report…

Yikes. Like I always used to tell my Critical Terrorism Studies students — — the Endless War on Terror always told us as much out “us” as it did about “them.” And “over there” always comes back home, eventually. #Gitmo

The moment when you unbox the first copies of your new, finished book. Born in Blackness has been long in the making but it won't be long now in the waiting. It's due out on October 12.

Today we launch #CenturyInternational. We build on @TCFdotorg’s century of commitment to foreign policy research and analysis. We aim to connect policymakers with deep research on the ground. More about us: tcf.org/century-intern…

We couldn’t do our work without our amazing #CenturyInternational fellows @rohadvani @Naira005 @3yyash @AbuJamajem @SajadJiyad @Eamon_KA @aronlund @MsEntropy @dahliasc

Thrilled to see #CenturyInternational launch today, a new center for research focused on the human impact of global policy, led by @tcambanis. And extremely psyched that I will support our amazing fellows and contributors as editor-in-chief! Read more: tcf.org/century-intern…

Reflexive militarism, torture, and misguided analysis worsened the world’s problems after 9/11. The newly launched #CenturyInternational will suggest ways to repair the damage. This is our work: critical, independent, progressive. tcf.org/content/report….

@MsEntropy 🤦‍♂️

Said it before, I’ll say it again: Fire Tom Friedman.

Many factors contributing to fire severity in California right now, but damn if this picture doesn’t just about sum up the march of climate change for our state.

California officially ends single-family home only zoning in most neighborhoods statewide — allowing at least duplexes to be built. Takes effect Jan. 1.
