On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, @ElieNYC ponders what could have been different if the US had responded with humanity, not bloodlust? “What if New York had built Freedom Apartment Buildings instead of the Freedom Tower?” This & more in today’s ELIE v. US.

Accountability for the Gaza genocide can't focus on Benjamin Netanyahu alone, writes @HeerJeet.
www.thenation.com/article/world/netanyahu-...
Hillary Clinton and others want us to think that once Netanyahu is out of the way, the US-Israel alliance can return to normal. But the problems of Israel go beyond one bad prime minister or one bad government.

The president made this political appeal at the GOP midterm pep rally in Dallas: “Pretend that I’m on the ballot” in November’s midterm elections. Republican candidates are hoping voters don't.

"Has it really been 25 years? It was my first week of middle school in New Jersey. We were led out of the building—there were rumors of a bomb threat—and waited for hours until we were sent home. That night, I lay awake wondering if Osama bin Laden was hiding in my yard."

Today, Americans who identify with the Republican Party are substantially more religious than those who identify with the Democratic Party—a major frustration to politicians like James Talarico.

The modern Democratic Party was built in large part by religious reformers like James Talarico.

While hawkish ideologues began to talk about “open-ended war” and limiting civil liberties, it was vital, The Nation asserted, to maintain a grip on reality. Ricky Kreitner on 9/11 and how The Nation covered it:

El-Sayed’s people-focused approach blends the roles of candidate and community organizer with an agility rarely seen in statewide political campaigns.

The media is obsessed with Hasan Piker. But Abdul El-Sayed is obsessed with campaigning—and it's working for him in the polls.

Trump has never been more unpopular, even with GOP voters. No wonder the vibes are off at his Dallas midterms convention:

25 years ago, 9/11 was a national tragedy. Now, it has increasingly turned into a national comedy punchline. Read Billy McEntee on how 9/11 became a joke.

The credential economy has expanded as workplace autonomy has constricted. Employers have been building assembly lines in places that were once sold as career ladders. People are noticing.
www.thenation.com/article/society/noam-sch...
For many people, 9/11 has become a joke—a readily available meme, a feature of comedy sets, a crowd-pleasing punchline. How did that happen? www.thenation.com/article/society/how-9-11...

What is Colin Kaepernick’s legacy? Dave Zirin argues that to answer that, we must remember the young people who took inspiration from him and helped power many Black Lives Matters protests.
www.thenation.com/article/society/keaperni...
Working in different mediums and separated by nearly 40 years, Antonius and Jacir nevertheless share a concern with how history is created: how people weave together concurrent but sometimes disparate events into a coherent narrative of their collective pasts.

The Alternative for Germany just shattered the political firewall meant to keep the party out, writes Paul Hockenos. Now the country’s political establishment is scrambling to do something—anything—to stop the rise of the far right.

“Georgia voters have the recent memory of our votes mattering,” says Sen. Jon Ossoff, and that’s why he thinks he’ll win re-election:
www.thenation.com/article/politics/jon-oss...
Jon Ossoff has always put himself at the center of the resistance to Trump. Can he win reelection, help Democrats take the Senate, and vanquish Trump once and for all?

When we look at Colin Kaepernick’s legacy, Dave Zirin writes that we should remember the young athletes who were inspired by the 49ers quarterback and helped power Black Lives Matters protests across the country.

After AfD's shocking win Saxony-Anhalt, Germany’s parties are mouthing platitudes, writes Paul Hockenos. There is despair in the air—and no sign of serious political reckoning.

Over a year ago, @AaronRegunberg warned David Morales about running for mayor of Providence. Now—with Morales on the cusp of winning the primary—Aaron is extremely glad that Morales didn't listen.

AfD's record vote share in Saxony-Anhalt a political megaquake, writes Paul Hockenos. For the first time in the Federal Republic of Germany’s 80-year history, an extreme-right party will not just participate in government but lead it.

How did David Morales go from a long shot to the favorite to become Providence's next mayor? @AaronRegunberg argues that Morales's extraordinary campaign offers lessons for other upstart left candidates.

This is both the challenge and the point of democratic politics: We have conflicting values that can’t be proven right or wrong by the same means that facts can, and a multitude of competing interests that have to be adjudicated or reconciled.
