  1. Today, Sep 14th, is the 25th anniversary of one of the more remarkable events to take place in the days following the September 11th terrorist attacks. I like to refer to it as Barbara Lee Day. A reminder of one of the most remarkable and courageous votes in recent US political history.

    "The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force" bill was passed by House and Senate a mere three days after September 11th. Of the 519 total votes cast, only Representative Lee's lone vote opposed the bill (Senate 98-0, House 420-1). A vote for which she received much negative attention in the media and also received death threats over. This is an important piece of United States history. One which calls out to us today, a quarter of a century later, and forces us to take a hard look at all that has taken place in the world since September 11th and begs the question of what can we, as average citizens, do to move our country away from being a military state, and towards a focus on diplomacy and peace.

    Please take a moment today to read Representative Lee's speech on the House floor or watch the video of her delivering the speech.

    'Mr. Speaker, Members, I rise today really with a very heavy heart, one that is filled with sorrow for the families and the loved ones who were killed and injured this week. Only the most foolish and the most callous would not understand the grief that has really gripped our people and millions across the world. This unspeakable act on the United States has really -- really forced me, however, to rely on my moral compass, my conscience, and my God for direction.

    September 11th changed the world. Our deepest fears now haunt us. Yet, I am convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States. This is a very complex and complicated matter.

    Now this resolution will pass, although we all know that the President can wage a war even without it. However difficult this vote may be, some of us must urge the use of restraint. Our country is in a state of mourning. Some of us must say, let's step back for a moment. Let's just pause, just for a minute and think through the implications of our actions today, so that this does not spiral out of control.

    Now I have agonized over this vote. But I came to grips with it today, and I came to grips with opposing this resolution during the very painful, yet very beautiful memorial service. As a member of the clergy so eloquently said, "As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore."'

    - Representative Barbara Lee, September 14th, 2001

    Their behaviour asked for it, whether intentional or not I do not know.

    Some of the victims might be innocent, but not my gaff not my problem. The number is also too large to give any fuck.

  29. Exactly 25 years ago today, the worst terrorist attack in history took place. Terrorists hijacked four civilian passenger planes and crashed three of them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed while en route to its target.

    On that day, countless people lost their lives in the most horrific way. And those who witnessed it firsthand are traumatized forever.

    I myself remember that day very well. I know exactly where I was that day when I watched the live coverage on TV. I keep thinking about the victims, their families, friends, and the brave first responders on the scene.

    In silent remembrance of the victims of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. 🕊️💔
