Get in Loser Meme We're doing the War on Terror

American politicians:

You insist
That we arm you
Pay for your crimes
Applaud your atrocities
And heap laurels
On your heroes
Before they have finished
Washing the killing
From their hands
But I cannot
Will not
Indulge you this
 
Still I will mourn your dead
As if they were mine

I will mourn your dead

You ask us to mourn
Your dead
And I will
 
I will mourn
Your dead
 
But they are not
The only ones to grieve
Did you forget?
Or imagine that
You’re the only one
To suffer
Or that
Your sorrow is purer
Or juster?
 
Even so,
I will mourn
Your dead
As if they were mine

He just commissioned 2 reviews of his most recent "book"

The latest issue of MERIP is out: "Journalism and Activism in an Age of Transnational Repression."

I had a blast editing this issue alongside an exceptional group of editors: Ayça Alemdaroğlu, Marc Owen Jones, and Kevin Schwartz.
