The Addu Link Road’s lagoon-side pavement was wrecked to plant date palms that clash with the scenery. The iconic native coconut palms at Aareyfu (RAF) have been cut down and replaced with date palms by Mayor Nizar and his team, ignoring widespread public discontent. On Hithadhoo’s wide main roads, shade-giving trees are needed, yet more date palms, offering no relief from the sun, have been planted instead.
🚨 BREAKING: POLICE CRACKDOWN ON PEACEFUL PROTESTERS!
Aishath Shimon Ahmed and Abdulla Mahzoom Majid, protest leaders, arrested without warning! Youth protesters hit with pepper spray, sound equipment seized. This is a blatant violation of rights!
Already, we’ve seen a young girl pushed from a building, left in a coma, and the police have been covering it up.
@dh0nkeyo’s life is in danger.
All orders are coming from those who swore to protect us!
This needs IMMEDIATE ATTENTION to SAVE A LIFE.

Dear women and girls, please stay away from this taxi driver. Last night he tried to take a girl to another place. When the car didn’t stop, she jumped out onto Majeedheemagu.
SOS didn’t work.
@Avas_App team sleeping.
Police clueless
Big fail!
Boom is supersonic. On Jan. 28, 2025 at 8:31am PST / 16:31 GMT, XB-1 broke the sound barrier.
Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg safely and successfully achieved supersonic speed in XB-1, the first civil supersonic jet made in America.
✅New top speed: Mach 1.122 (652 KTAS)
✅New max altitude: 35,290 ft.
✅Flight time: 34 minutes
✅Airspace: Bell X-1 Supersonic Corridor and the Black Mountain Supersonic Corridor in Mojave, CA
XB-1 demonstrates that Boom has the team, technology, and tools to deliver supersonic commercial travel with Overture, cutting travel times in half.
Congratulations to the Boom team on making aviation history!
As the world counts down to midnight, we’re counting down too:
To the moment XB-1 breaks the sound barrier and makes history as the first independently developed supersonic aircraft.
Here’s to breaking barriers in 2025!
“I believe a world in which a lot more people go more places, more often, is a better world for us to live in, a better world for our children to grow up in.” Our founder and CEO, @bscholl, shared his vision for a world that is dramatically more accessible through supersonic travel onboard Overture.

BREAKING: XB-1 has completed its second flight at the Mojave Air & Space Port in CA. XB-1 retracted and extended its landing gear for the first time and successfully demonstrated a new digital stability augmentation system. We continue to target year-end for supersonic flight. https://t.co/ZvMI1c3425
‼️🚨Breaking News — confirmed
BML will reverse the decision in the next 60 mins.
I don’t know if they got a USD printing machine or if they’re getting a billion USD shipment from US Fed.
But they’ll reverse this decision, it’s confirmed.
Nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy” you were
- how many hours you worked
People will remember: the time you spent together because you arrived at Mach 1.7. See you in 2029, @united!

Imagine a future where world champions are exactly that—the undisputed best team on the planet. As professional sports leagues and teams look to expand their appeal globally, supersonic flight can offer game-changing advantages. For U.S.-based leagues, travel to Europe can be faster than a cross-country flight is today. The need for additional recovery time for athletes is mitigated. Speed creates increased global accessibility—for teams, athletes, and fans.
The basketball and hockey playoffs are in full swing and the sporting world is about to convene in Paris. Looking ahead, how might supersonic flight change the global playing field? Read more here: https://t.co/fen04TLgJo

‼️Every single Maldivian, both men & women, must listen to this 2 minute audio clip.
My humble request is, never go to a house/flat to help any stranger ever. If they look like they’re dying, just call Police. But never go to their residence.
Even for humanity, DO NOT go.
