Imagine not voting for Kamala Harris because eggs were too expensive only to end up with everything being more expensive, losing your health insurance, the military in your neighborhood and a geriatric president ranting about ending 10 wars.
I was booked on United Flight 93 on 9/11, 2001, flying nonstop from Newark NJ to San Francisco CA. Around midnight the night before, a coworker called me urging me to change my flight to fly into San Jose instead. This meant I had move to a flight that boarded 20 minutes later (from the same gate) with a stopover in Denver. I was very reluctant to do it but I did.
When I got to the airport, I watched people boarding flight 93 and I was upset that I was not leaving earlier, in my 1st class seat on a direct flight. I didn’t notice or care about the people as they were boarding, only myself.
When I finally boarded my plane, we were 7 planes behind flight 93. When we were 3 planes away from we taking off, the pilot told us to look out the right side of the plane because it appeared the Twin Towers had been hit by a plane. I thought it might have been a small Cessna until I saw the second plane strike the other tower. We were grounded just before taking off.
I changed that day. I now take every opportunity I have to watch and if possible, get to know the people I’m boarding a plane with. I never hesitate to give up my seat for a later flight if requested. I’ve had two children since 9/11 and went to multiple mission trips to war torn countries. Every day I wake up breathing is another gift from God.
Never forget 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

7 years ago, I wrote a small piece about a man who was falsely accused of a crime.
A few days later, I got an anonymous telling me to look up the woman they called “the evilest white woman on earth.”
What happened next is the absolute wildest story you’ll ever hear

Now that AT&T has lost all our social security numbers in a data breach, this is a great time for regulators to NOT ask what they should have done to secure it better, but why the phone company needed your SSN in the first place.
is it finally time for people to actually face legal consequences for the sexually predatory shit they say on the internet or will it be ignored once again
