I joined Twitter 15 years ago today. Twitter had a great deal of promise, but now I rarely use it. I don’t miss what it has become as Elon Musk’s X for it is now a tool of far right radicals and Russian bots. Sadly, Elon’s X has become the home for propaganda and disinformation.

Central Command denies Iran’s claim it has hit a US warship

[Idrees Ali @idreesali114]

As has now become frequent, Iran’s claim that it has a U.S. warship is denied by the United States. The Iranian claims of naval hits have so far proven to be inaccurate.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the guns of World War I fell silent.

107 years later, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who ended “The Great War” and all who have served since, including the tens of thousands of veterans who call NYC home.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In recent days, the agreement to begin the peace process has brought a spark of hope to the Holy Land. I encourage the parties involved to continue courageously along the path that has been set out, toward a just, lasting, and respectful #Peace that honors the legitimate aspirations of both the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples. Let us ask God, the only true Peace of humanity, to heal all wounds and to help, by His grace, accomplish what now seems humanly impossible: to rediscover that the other is not an enemy, but a brother or sister to look upon, to forgive, and to offer the hope of reconciliation.

It was 24 years ago, just after midnight on Sept. 11, 2001, when ABC7NY broadcast a final live look at the World Trade Center.

Thursday marks more than two decades since the 9/11 attacks, during which 2,977 people lost their lives.

LATEST: From Utah DPS and FBI Salt Lake City on the Kirk shooting, “We initially took in George Zinn as a suspect. He was later released and charged with obstruction by UVU police. A second suspect, Zachariah Qureshi, was taken into custody and released after interrogation with law enforcement. There are no current ties to the shooting with either of these individuals. There is an ongoing investigation and manhunt for the shooter.”

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In the last few years we've seen:

- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk

Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.

The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

Mason: "The shot came from here on campus, potentially from a roof. A longer distance shot from a roof."
