If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.
But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.
Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.
This is exactly what flood the zone means. There is no pause to the atrocities we hear every couple of hours in this country.
Just so you know, this has all been engineered this way
@libsoftiktok Did we forget that this country is a melting pot? 🤦🏽♂️ The baseball field is the real crucible, the melting pot wherein the rival races are being mixed, combined and molded to the standards of real citizenship and the requirements of the true American.

Did you know that California used to belong to Mexico?
…along with Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, you get the picture.
I see why MAGA wants to ban books and eliminate the Department of Education. We can’t have the next generation learning accurate history, now can we?
…that’s probably why we’re six months away from gassing political opposition under the Trump regime. 👀
TWEEPS: If trump is able to kill our public schools and the Dept of Education, our kids will be as dangerously dumb as he is.
Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies using the hashtag #DontDefundPublicSchools so it trends on Twitter?
Please and thank you!🙏💪
“I expected to see more Democrats.”

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.
