About Tim Shorrock
Welcome to Empire Blues!
Hello readers, far and wide! You may recognize me from Facebook (where I’ve been since 2007), Twitter (2008), and BlueSky (2024). Or you may know me from the hundreds of articles I’ve written for The Nation and other US and foreign media outlets since moving to Washington, DC, in 1982. Throughout that time, I’ve been laser-focused on the Koreas, Japan and Okinawa, US militarism, global trade and labor, American foreign policy, and the corruption of the national security state.
That will all continue here, but with a few twists and turns along the way.
