What the TV news discussions don’t mention

This week, I joined Briahna Joy Gray to discuss the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and how our own country’s double standards helped ensure the eventual outcome there.       Dear John, Over the past week, more Americans have discussed Afghanistan than during the pr…

What you might not have heard about Afghanistan

After 20 years, $2 trillion, and hundreds of thousands of lost lives, the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan finally admits what many of us have been saying for years.       Dear John, The stories we’ve all seen from Afghanistan are heart-wrenching. For those of us who …

Today, we celebrate the realization of a major movement goal in critical policy concessions from the Biden administration, as well as the stark reality that the struggle continues.       Dear John, It’s sometimes easy to forget that, even in dark times, hope springs e…

Congress abandons America yet again

Paying the price for exposing drone warfare

Daniel Hale joins a long line of military whistleblowers—like Daniel Ellsberg, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, and Reality Winner—punished for doing the right thing.       Dear John, On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady sentenced military whistleblower Daniel…

Can you join me on my birthday?

My birthday prompted some reflections on the year we all just endured.       Dear John, I celebrate my birthday today with thanks for simply making it through the past year. Too many of our neighbors didn’t. Over half a million Americans have died from the pandemic, a…

The outrage of FOX News suggests we’re doing something right

FOX News could learn a few things from Critical Race Theory, but prefers to ignore it—and U.S. history—while claiming outrage at our unfortunately accurate observations.       Dear John, We celebrated Independence Day weekend not by declaring allegiance to a flag, but…

RIP Mike Gravel

U.S. Senator Mike Gravel (D-AK) was a national hero. Among our many endorsements, I felt uniquely honored by his.       Dear John, Our nation lost a bona fide constitutional hero this weekend. We mourn the passing of U.S. Senator Mike Gravel (D-AK), and write to reflec…

Pelosi attacks Ilhan yet again

Not for the first time, Democratic leaders in the House have condemned Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for entirely legitimate criticism of U.S. foreign policy. Conflicts of interest that might explain their latest attacks on Ilhan have gone largely unreported.       Dear Joh…
