A personal recollection on the day that launched the Iraq War — and its lessons for us 18 years later.

We’ve had 18 years to learn that the costs of war are just too high. We must end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the next time our leaders inevitably argue for the necessity of war, it’s up to us to resist.  

The Biden administration is bending rules to drop bombs but not raise wages. That’s a mistake.

Biden’s order rolling back for-profit prisons is a good first step. Next we need to end for-profit immigration detention.

I’m glad Biden repealed Trump’s Muslim ban, but the work of repairing the harm is just beginning.
