Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #september11th, aggregated by home.social.

  1. @mekkaokereke “Remain at your desks!” - #RudyGiuliani to workers in the 2nd doomed World Trade Center to be struck by #terrorists on #September11th - after the 1st was struck and on fire 🔥 and 3 other hijacked planes were in the air.

  2. #Canada ‘punched above its weight’ in #WorldWar2. But when #Nixon wanted #Canadians to fight in #Vietnam , Pierre #Trudeau was a ‘hard no’. In fact, he welcomed #DraftDodgers to Canada! cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.362

    After #September11th , Canadians fought and died alongside #Americans in #Afghanistan. But when George W. Bush asked Jean Crétien to send troops to #Iraq , Crétien smelled the #WMD hoax and was a ‘hard no’.

    #MarkCarney is a ‘hard no’ on the #FelonsCrusade too!

  3. apparently more than a third of #republican voters in the US are now holocaust deniers¹? and 41% think 9/11 was an inside job.

    these numbers came from the trump loving, christopher rufo paying, super right wing Manhattan Institute. this is not a liberal pollster.

    ¹ maybe "holocaust truthers" is a more apt description but... whatever

  4. Today, Sep 14th, is the 24th 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, nearly 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 ( youtu.be/mvnLtMKzX6Y ) 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 Barabara Lee, September 14th, 2001

  5. I wrote a version of this on Fedi a year ago, and thought I'd tighten it up a little and post it to my personal blog today.

    CW: 9/11, gender, a bit of snark prompted by a bad joke.

  6. When Pierre #Trudeau was Prime Minister of #Canada he told #RichardNixon to “fuck off” when he tried to drag Canada into the #Vietnam quagmire.

    Jean Chrétien was Prime Minister when the #September11th #terrorist attacks occurred. He sent #Canadian troops to help the #UnitedStates fight #AlQaeda in #Afghanistan but told #GeorgeWBush to “fuck off” when he wanted support invading #Iraq after bogus claims about #WMD.

  7. We will never forget!

    Today is certainly a day that I'll never forget where I was, what I was doing and how I heard about the tragedy of 9/11. Such an unforgettable day.

    I've also had the pleasure of visiting the memorials at Ground Zero, and what an experience that was.

    To all of those that lost their lives and to those that had family or friends who lost their lives, WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

  8. @GW Very reminiscent of #GeorgeWBush being told by National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice that Al Qaeda was planning to attack the USA with planes, weeks before #September11th. And the #FratBoy did nothing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  9. #VivekRamaswamy is also a #September11th#Truther ‘ nutjob. 🤔 👉 huffpost.com/entry/mike-pence-

    It says a LOT about the #MAGA cult of ignorance and hate that he’s polling even with former Vice President #MikePence. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  10. @DemocracyMattersALot #GeorgetownUniversity, #SyracuseUniversity, #StJohnFisherUniversity, #LoyolaUniversity Maryland and #TheCitadel honor #RudyGiuliani who was a key leader of the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    He also condemned hundreds of people (in the 2nd #WTC to fall) to a horrible death on #September11th when he ordered them to “Remain at your desks!” AFTER the 1st tower was struck, and we KNEW that other planes were hijacked.

    ⬆️ This is so-called ‘America’s Mayor’?🤔
