Nice!

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1953: Jackie Cochran becomes the first woman to break the sound barrier, flying an F-86 Sabre borrowed from the Royal Canadian Air Force. At her death in 1980, Cochran held more speed and distance records than any pilot — male or female.

Let's put something in perspective concerning the FAA blackout in Denver. I believe the controll tower lost communication for 2 minutes. At 500 miles per hour, a commercial airliner travels over 16 miles during that time! Scary!

Trump's DOJ is reportedly considering dropping a criminal case against Boeing over two deadly 737 MAX crashes Reminder that the Trump admin has halted or withdrawn enforcement actions against 130+ corporate offenders since inauguration day. Is this being "tough on crime"?

From a FB post I saw. The new Airforce One from Qatar.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

After 583 days in captivity, I am overjoyed that Edan Alexander is coming home. Hamas must immediately release every other remaining hostage, living or dead, and we must work to recommit to a ceasefire in Gaza with an influx of humanitarian aid.

ICE is teaming up with local law enforcement and state agencies, allowing officers with scant knowledge of immigration law to funnel people toward deportation for minor—or even imaginary—infractions. It’s about to get worse.

Holy shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-...
