Thank you! Just turned 64 & am so grateful for good health & strength that enables me to do lots of things co-workers half my age don't want to try. That's a gift AND a privilege I want to leverage to help people less able.

There's plenty to critique about this administration, but #ageism is a specious distraction. Focus on real problems!

"This week on #TheNewArabVoice, we look at the case of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, how the #torture he endured at the hands of his captors is playing into his trial, how efforts to close the prison have failed, and what needs to happen to ensure that victims of Guantanamo get justice."

Yesterday, as #Guantanamo turned 21, I was thinking about Khaled Qassim, one of 20 men still held who are approved for release, but have no idea of when, if ever, they will actually be freed. Here's the song I wrote about him & recorded with @fourfathers1@twitter.com

Please close Guantanamo, President Biden. The men who are cleared for transfer need to go home. What it if was your son, or grandson? (The article is from 2years ago; I’ll stop posting it when GTMO is closed.)

The idea that torture-derived evidence could be use at any level of a legal case in the United States of America should horrify every one of us.

To this day, Guantanamo is still open, and remains a symbol of torture, kidnap and indefinite unjust imprisonment. #CloseGitmo
