Among 9/11 memories, I refer you to my 2015 essay Packaged Terror, about how ripples of the attack touched me personally, several states away in New Hampshire.
I'm pretty confident that if you have the time, you'll find it an engaging read.
Had I not lived it, I might doubt some of its details myself, but I quite assure you this is a completely true story. And the take-home message is still very relevant today.

This #September11 we mark the grim anniversary of a brutal and tragic event that forever changed a nation with the death of thousands.
That’s right—today is the 50th anniversary of the coup d’état of Chile, where the United States (thanks to Richard Nixon and the CIA) helped Augusto Pinochet overthrow the democratically-elected president Salvador Allende. Pinochet ruled with an iron fist, and was believed to have executed and disappeared thousands of leftist opponents, interned more than 80,000 people, and tortured tens of thousands.

L. Paul Bremer, instead of going to the world trade center tower where he worked on the morning of September 11, did interviews about Osama bin laden and terrorists on TV apparently knowing everything about the cause of 911 during the attacks themselves.
Here he is sitting from his post as the first provisional authority leader in Iraq in 2003.
You're governed by mass murdering thugs.

Biden asks Americans to honor Sept. 11 dead by rejecting extremism
President Joe Biden urged Americans on Monday not to succumb to the "poisonous politics of difference and division" as he sought to revive the spirit of national unity after the deadly Sept. 11, 2001, attacks 22 years ago.

"22 years later, justice and information remain elusive for thousands of 9/11 victims and their families ... Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the lead defendant and alleged 9/11 mastermind, and his capital case co-defendants have never been brought to trial before the Military Commission in Guantanamo that’s hearing their case – nor have they been allowed to speak publicly about what they know" https://www.floridabulldog.org/2023/09/22-years-later-justice-remains-elusive-for-thousands-9-11-victims/?rmail=1 #September11 #911 #Sept11 #Sept11Attacks #911Commission

I jotted down some thoughts on this 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. #September11
Chile deserves a brighter future. Fifty years ago the fascists demanded that their ideology was not to be challenged. This is nothing less than heartbreaking every single time it happens.

Once a year for some reason I feel compelled to listen to this song. #September11
Then I think about Adam Driver talking about he joined the army to get revenge and I marvel at how insane that sounds and how I spent years thinking I was going to work for the state department to try to clear up some of the animosity and how insane that sounds now too.
