25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Khashoggi's assassination was in hindsight one of the highly salient norm-shattering moments of impunity that helped recalibrate contemporary expectations for outrageous crimes: if you're rich & powerful enough, in the words of the President of the United States, "they just let you do it"

The second says people complain about being broke while owning multiple TVs, a $1,200 smartphone, two cars, and buying Starbucks. The third says people carry $2,000 foldable iPhones, wear $800 shoes, and buy $14 pumpkin spice lattes, then say they won’t vote for Trump because of gas prices.
