I hired Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2017, and worked with him closely until he was murdered by the Saudi regime in Istanbul -- simply for expressing himself. I put my safety on the line for years to push publicly for justice and accountability in his murder. www.npr.org/2018/10/18/6...

A colleague recommended paying attention to and reading Attiah. I did, I do. Passing along the recommendation. As she writes: "Institutions may cancel me, but my pen and my teaching will not be silenced. If anything, my voice will be sharper now." Relentless forward momentum.

I do not mean to diminish the memory of any of the almost 3000 individuals who were killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks with this post. That said, we should be aware that the number of Americans killed by guns annually amounts to roughly FIFTEEN 9/11s www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

What the data says about gun deaths in the U.S.

While the number of gun deaths in the U.S. fell for the second consecutive year in 2023, it remained among the highest annual totals on record.
