Notable Quotes “Say What?!”
THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME
A memorial which uses U.S. flags is especially insidious, as it does not recognize those who have fallen, but uses a symbol that was on the shoulders of those who are responsible for the deaths of 900,000 people, and uses the innocent lives lost during 9/11 as a political prop upholding American hegemony. Muslims such as I have faced fear, harassment, and Islamophobia from those who unjustly use the victims of 9/11 as a political cudgel. - Statement by Fadel Alkilani, a student at Washington University in St. Louis, after he was busted gathering and throwing out 2,977 U.S. flags that were set up for a 9/11 memorial

Segregation! You’ve inverted the idea. We’re going back to that under a different name.

We have to be more honest about what 9/11 was and what it wasn’t. It was an attack on the heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems that America relies upon to wrangle other countries into passivity. It was an attack on the systems many white Americans fight to protect. We have to be clear that the same motivations that animated America’s hypervigilance and responsiveness to “terror” after 9/11 are now motivating the carceral state and anti-immigration policy. - Syracuse University assistant professor Jenn M. Jackson

When people are able to make choices without government interference for themselves in terms of their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their family, in consultation with whomever they may choose, we’re a stronger society. - Vice President Harris bashing a new pro-life law in Texas, on the same day that the Biden administration announced mandatory vaccines for federal employees and others
