I reread this every year.

I cry like a baby every year.

Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.

Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.

Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?

Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.

Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.

Lisa: Are you okay?

Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.

Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?

Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.

Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.

Lisa: I promise.

Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.

Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)

Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.

Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.

Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.

Lisa: What are you going to do?

Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.

Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

one time in med school I asked a doctor for feedback and he told me that I was stapling the patient lists together with the staple in the incorrect orientation and that a diagonal staple was not appropriate and it needed to be a horizontal staple so I laughed but he did not laugh

[♡⃝ @wine_x13]

To the guy who held the door for me and then followed me a few steps before stopping on the sidewalk and calling out "I'm not trying to be weird, I just, uh, think I'm parked next to you. You go ahead!" and then waited for me to drive off.

Sir, may you only encounter green lights. May pizza never burn the roof of your mouth. May you awaken every day with a restored spirit. Absolute king behavior 🙌🏻
To every man wondering if it's weird to say something like this, please make it weirder and safer every time. We thank you.

[Noah Kaufman, MD @noahkaufmanmd]

Please please please let us doctors run healthcare (again). We tried it your way and patients are dying.

All you care about is money.

It’s time to tear this system down. Patients and doctors are PISSED.

We need EVERYONE’s help. Please help us. Please go independent.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

When you insist on seeing God in the face of the emperor, no matter how corrupt they are, and refuse to see God in the face of the immigrant being arrested after being falsely accused of being a criminal, you have yet to understand the gospel of Jesus.

[Michael Albert, MD @MichaelAlbertMD]

"Growing up we all got measles and it wasn't a big deal."

This is called survivorship bias. A cognitive fallacy that occurs when someone focuses only on the successful individuals in a group, while ignoring the unsuccessful ones. It's a type of selection bias that can lead to incorrect conclusions and a distorted understanding of cause and effect.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

If I were the literal devil I would carefully convince Christians that there is something sinister about empathy, that forgiveness is reserved for those who serve my interests, and that love looks like incurious condescension.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

A Christianity that refuses to call out corruption and lies from those in power because it believes it is politically advantageous not to do so becomes a complicit participant in the very evils it claims to be against.

It is a Christianity without Christ.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.

This is Pioppi. He didn't pop up for any particular reason, just likes looking at you. 13/10

Why does this even need to be said out load?

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Statement from the Nobel Foundation

One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.

For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: https://t.co/HqL1ZR8Bos

[Jimmy Turner, MD @TPP_MD]

Just your friendly reminder that if you died today, your big hospital would replace you tomorrow.

But your family and friends couldn’t.

Make sure to have those priorities straight.

@kagsundaram @wjz It's further down that stretch

[WeRateDogs @dog_rates]

This is Ruby. She likes to pet the other dogs at daycare. 14/10 extremely relatable (TT: alanahlorraine)

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Let me be perfectly clear: Undocumented people CANNOT AND WILL NOT receive ACA premium tax credits BY LAW. PERIOD.

This is a LIE from Republicans to divert attention from their shutdown. Republicans are refusing to lower healthcare costs for the American people.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

The Government is now shut down,but apparently no body called the school in Bronx that had come to the Capitol for their tour today so they’re getting the treat of a lifetime since AOC agreed to give them the tour herself! Im loving this for all of them! 💙🎤🔥

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

In the past 24 hours, Pope Leo has said:

— being pro-life means more than just opposing abortion
— Donald Trump’s treatment of migrants is inhumane
— Pete Hegseth sounds like a reckless warmonger
— climate change is the defining moral issue of our time

He also blessed ice.
