@camila_oleaurre Advocacy, protesting, asking lawyers for pro bono work, voting, talking to representatives. Do something yourself. Being complacent is being complicit. Don't worry about everyone else, just do your part
you ever seen the “Chris Watts” story.??? Yeah that’s why. That man murdered his entire family and stuck them in old oil tanks. Then went home and called 911 as a “concerned” parent. Ended up with a whole new family not long after … Patrick tried to do the same to his family and was disturbed by Lindsay actually surviving her injuries.. he was literally having an affair with his new wife for a year before the murders and then only 2-3 MONTHS after them he was in Costa Rica and married to this
so much of the "never forget" propaganda has been fixated on race and ideology, meanwhile Jon Stewart has never fucking given up on the 9/11 first responders and putting that never forget energy into demanding action to help them
“It’s very strange,” a former longtime USDA official said. “It doesn’t make a lot of sense, biologically.”
“Zero cases in wildlife is unexplainable to me,” said Texas Ag. Commissioner Sid Miller.
A current APHIS employee: It's "suspicious" and "it doesn't seem very likely"
You’re not a patriot for refusing to follow the law.
You’re not a patriot when you perjure yourself.
You’re not a patriot when you admit there’s reasonable doubt but refuse to vote accordingly because you want to punish a woman.
This man should be charged.
@CollinRugg Admitting you have reasonable doubt, refusing to apply the law because you’re overcome with emotions, and ultimately siding with the government is actually the opposite of being a patriot
everyone hates trump for signing the order but who is truly brave enough to hate the American farmer who voted for this and got exactly what they wanted
so basically everyone has no money because of reagan, has no education bc of bush, and is about to have no healthcare bc of trump. and somehow democrats are unable to turn this information into a win for them
🇺🇸 The Boatlift That Was Bigger Than Dunkirk
At 10:45 a.m. on September 11, 2001, a Coast Guard lieutenant named Mike Day keyed a radio in New York Harbor and said the only sentence that mattered.
“All available boats. This is the United States Coast Guard. Anyone wanting to help with the evacuation of Lower Manhattan, report to Governors Island.”
The boats were already coming.
The bridges were closed. The tunnels were closed. The subways were dead. South of the towers, hundreds of thousands of people had nowhere left to walk. Some jumped into the Hudson. Some stood on seawalls that were never meant to be docks and waited for anything that floated.
Dunkirk took nine days to pull 338,226 Allied soldiers off a beach in 1940.
On 9/11, roughly 800 mariners on about 150 vessels moved as many as 500,000 civilians off Manhattan in about nine hours. Ferries. Tugs. Dinner boats. Pilot boats. Yachts. A retired fireboat. Rubber dinghies that held two people. The largest water evacuation in history.
NY Waterway did not wait for the official call. After the second plane hit, the whole fleet moved. Captain Rick Thornton nosed his ferry against a seawall that was not a slip and started taking people off. Some of them he pulled out of the river. His company alone carried about 158,000 people to Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Brooklyn, and Queens.
On a normal Tuesday they carried 34,000.
The Staten Island Ferry moved more than 50,000 people and came back the other way with water, bandages, and men who still had work to do in the dust.
The old fireboat John J. Harvey, already retired, tied up near the Museum of Jewish Heritage, took civilians off the seawall, then pumped water when the hydrants downtown died.
Lt. Day later admitted what the day required. “I broke more rules that day than probably I’ve enforced in my whole Coast Guard career.”
In raw numbers it was bigger than Dunkirk. No boat went down. By nightfall the southern tip of Manhattan had been emptied by people who were not on anyone’s list of heroes when the morning started.
They were tug captains. Ferry deckhands. Pilots. A lieutenant with a microphone. Ordinary boats answering one sentence.
All available boats.
Lindsay - Patrick said I did it

First Responders - Patrick said she did it
Evidence - Patrick said she did it
