We lost 84 New Yorkers to COVID-19 yesterday. By any normal standard this is a hideous number. But we are thankful this number has fallen below 100 for the first time since late March.

First the Kurds incurred unimaginable losses fighting against ISIS.
Then we asked them to carry the burden and risk of housing around 80,000 captured men, women, and children.
And now, we are abandoning them entirely. Shame. u.afp.com/JRU9

In which I argue that counterterrorism is a public function that we shouldn’t outsource to big tech. Instead, govt should work with industry to set clear & constitutional rules. 1/4
