Raise your hand if you didn't know that Uncle Sam had troops stationed in Chad. It's ok to admit, members of Congress didn't know we had troops in Niger.

Next time someone wonders how dependent the gov is to Big Tech, who drives the AI race narrative, how the tax $ go to surveillance, and why we don’t have robust transparency & accountability for AI companies - show them this report !

Sneak peek from @attackerman: the tech industry is angling for Pentagon riches. A new paper from @CostsOfWar finds at least $53 billion in Pentagon contracts from 2018-2022 for tech firms, as well as $28 billion from intelligence agencies. forever-wars.com/the-silicon-va…

@CostsOfWar @AmeenaGK thank you for sharing, and for what you all do.
9/11 was a start of decades of conflict. In Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan & Syria over 37m have had to move from their homes. Those fighting also suffered losses & injuries. 9/11 is being memorialised but the consequences continue to be felt today.
