The truth hurts—but we must always look inward. Or else what does it mean to be the leader of the free world? My commentary for @theintercept.com on @amnesty.org’s report on the U.S. campaign in Yemen under Trump and Hegseth and the killing of 61 migrants in a U.S. strike.

Is Amazon complicit in the atrocities in Gaza? Even as they declare a commitment to preventing “adverse human rights impacts”?
