SHORT BOOK THREAD: On Tuesday, the paperback of my 9/11 oral history, THE ONLY PLANE IN THE SKY, publishes! The reaction so far has been stunning and humbling, so as a thank you, I'm offering inscribed bookplates to anyone who pre-purchases the paperback. Here's how it works:
Email/forward your purchase receipt from @Bookshop_Org and mailing address to paperback@garrettgraff.com, and I'll sign, inscribe, and mail a bookplate for you. (Plus, you'll also help the US Post Office when it needs stamped mail the most!) bookshop.org/books/the-only…
Email your purchase receipt from Amazon and mailing address to paperback@garrettgraff.com, and I'll sign, inscribe, and mail a bookplate for you. (This also has the benefit of helping the US Post Office when it needs stamped mail the most!) amazon.com/Only-Plane-Sky…
Email your purchase receipt from @BNBuzz and mailing address to paperback@garrettgraff.com, and I'll sign, inscribe, and mail a bookplate for you—this also has the benefit of helping the US Post Office when it needs stamped mail the most! barnesandnoble.com/w/the-only-pla…
Alternatively, if you'd like a signed/inscribed copy of THE ONLY PLANE IN THE SKY itself—hardcover or paperback—you can purchase that through my local indie, @PhoenixBooksVT, I'll sign it and they'll mail it to you: phoenixbooks.biz/garrett-m-graff

THREAD: Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Throughout the day, I’ll be chronologically tweeting quotes from my book THE ONLY PLANE IN THE SKY: An Oral History of 9/11, following Americans as they experience that day.... amazon.com/Only-Plane-Sky…
Sunny Mindel, Communications Director for the Mayor of the City of New York, Rudy Giuliani: "On September 11th, I was facing what I thought would be an easy day."
.@katiecouric, anchor, @TODAYshow: It was the perfect fall day, a little touch of autumn in the air. It was one of those back-to-school September days, full of possibilities, and, in its own way, a new beginning.

THREAD: The GOP knows it no longer can win free & fair national elections, and it’s doing everything it can to lock in its ability to rule as a minority.

It's a coordinated effort with 12 unique strategies I outline here in my new newsletter: .... doomsdayscenario.co/p/minority-rul…
The American system has been based on majority rule with protection for the rights of the minority—today, we’re seeing something more like the opposite. Here's how I think about the key parts of the GOP’s big-picture strategy to undermine American democracy...:
1) Open embrace of white nationalist, anti-immigrant, and antisemitism politics. The GOP understands its base is shrinking and it needs to militarize them in order to continue to hold power.... doomsdayscenario.co/p/minority-rul…

THREAD: I just published the first half of my inaugural newsletter essay, looking at America's failure of imagination and the GOP plot to enshrine minority rule in America. You can read the essay and sign up for the newsletter here: doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-coordina…
1) I've been playing around with this piece for nearly a year now and it captures my big-picture thoughts about how we're underestimating the risks to American democracy over the years ahead....
2) I’ve argued for the last year that we misunderstand what a “new” civil war might look like—imagining it has to look like the “old” Civil War, beginning with earnest men meeting in major cities and state capitals to draft formal articles of succession....

THREAD: In @SenatorLeahy's new memoir, there's a wild story in it that I haven't ever seen before—a rare glimpse into the shadowy way that the intel agencies interact with Members of Congress. It feels ripped from a political thriller movie...: phoenixbooks.biz/book/978198215…
1) In the midst of the Iraq War debate, Leahy was one of the few Senators pushing back against the Bush admin race to war and the threats of WMDs. He'd been reading the classified intel that the Bush admin was providing to Congress and had real doubts that it justified war....
2) The Sunday after he read the intel, he was out walking with his wife in his McLean neighborhood when "two fit joggers trailed behind us. They stopped and asked what I thought of the intelligence briefings I'd been getting."...

THREAD: As we near Sunday's 21st anniversary of 9/11, I wanted to share the podcast I did last year about the lingering questions of that tragic day.

What happened on Sept 11 and how it changed our world remains the most important story of the modern age....
The history we've come to tell of that day is incomplete—and sometimes wrong. "Long Shadow" examines the enduring mysteries that still surround 9/11 and it's a different history than you likely remember—but one that will help you make sense of the world the attacks left behind.…
Episode #1: Why weren’t more people rescued from the Twin Towers? Why did these iconic structures and architectural marvels fall so fast?

SHORT THREAD here on something I haven't seen someone else comment on: The strangest document in this photo, the orange bordered "Secret//SCI" one in the foreground. "Secret//SCI" is an incredibly rare marking....
1) I checked today with three officials who have worked at the absolute highest levels of the US intelligence community and two of them had *NEVER* seen such a marked document in their careers.

"SCI" material is usually so sensitive that it is almost always "Top Secret"....
2) It's impossible to know what type of document might be "Secret//SCI" but that highly unique combination of markings implies it's a piece of intelligence where someone was paying extremely special and precise attention to the information inside.
