Two planes were involved. The number of crashes is certainly eye-catching. How many have been collisions? I think at least three now? Collisions seem of particular interest, given air traffic control.

“The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have someone write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.” - Milan Kundera

I ran a US Senator's regional office for a while What to know about calling your Rep/Senator: -Be pleasant. They aren't their bosses, they're often interns. -Be concise. Say why you're calling and what you'd like their boss to do. -If not getting thru to DC, call the local office on the website.

The federal freeze on grant funding is looking very, very bad in Atlanta. Georgia relies on federal funding for essentially all of its spending on housing support, and most of its spending on homelessness, mental heath and substance abuse treatment. Providers are locked out of their accounts.

We, the daughters and sons of Tuskegee Airmen will continue to teach their important role in our collective history. Trump's "order" is racist trash. 🗑️My dad was an Airman and I'll be damned if they erase him and his fellows.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

ASEAN stands for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It has 10 member states, none of which are Japan, Korea or Australia. Thailand & the Philippines are in ASEAN and are key US allies. A serious nominee for Secretary of Defense should know our Indo-Pacific partners.

After running its dozen hospitals into the ground - bedbugs, mold, dirty water - the private equity backed Prospect Holdings is filing bankruptcy. So that its filthy rich owners can keep their vacation homes and yachts while patients suffer. Disgusting.

I voted for Donald Trump because I KNEW he would address the issues that most impact my life. I’m talking, of course, about militarily overtaking the largely inhospitable Danish territory of Greenland, renaming the Gulf of Mexico and outlawing windmills. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

I wanted to share a story I wrote for NY Mag last month, about jailed January 6ers, and the cult-like community they'd formed behind bars. The story starts with a scene from inside the DC jail, when J6ers watched Trump get shot on live TV. nymag.com/intelligence...

Intentional self-destruction, a call to arms for violence, and a manifesto of hate—labeling this act as terrorism is not just justified; it's necessary. Vegas bombing was an act of “MAGA Terrorism”—why won’t media call it that?! deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/vegas-bomb...

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
