In the aftermath of 9/11, Steve Buscemi returned to his old fire station, where he had served as a firefighter in the early 1980s.
Donning his old uniform, he worked 12 hour shifts for days on end, searching for survivors in the rubble of the World Trade Center.
He did so without media attention, a quiet act of courage that later became a powerful symbol of solidarity.
Ever heard of the 9/11 story of the Thunder Dog, the New Jersey dog who saved her blind owner in the WTC?
She was a yellow Lab named Roselle. She lived in Westfield, New Jersey, with Michael Hingson, who has been blind since birth. Every morning they took the train into the city. On Sept. 11 she was asleep under his desk on the 78th floor of the North Tower
She hated thunderstorms. That morning she stayed calm
Hingson could not see the fire. He trusted her instead. They went down 78 flights, about 1,463 steps in the dark, past firefighters going up. She guided him around obstacles when there was room, and walked at his heel when there wasn’t
After they got out, the South Tower fell. She led him into a subway entrance through the dust. That night they made it home to New Jersey. She picked up her tug toy and played
There is actually a book about her called, *Thunder Dog* because the dog who shook at thunder did not shake when the building did
Roselle died in 2011. Remember her New Jersey
Just saw an Instagram reel that said:
“At some point you become the age that your parents were in your childhood memories, only you don’t feel like an adult, and you realize your parents were still just kids trying to figure it out too”
And that shit just fucked me up.
🚨 George Farmer says Candace Owens came from nothing, has more balls than most politicians, and tells the truth.
That’s the part that matters.
She didn’t wait for permission from the political class to say what millions of people were already thinking.
That’s why they try to tear her down.

“When I miss my mum I remember all the cuddles I used to get from her all the hugs it makes me feel close to her when I miss her in a strange sort of way’
