Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.
Prevented? YOU DID THIS @realDonaldTrump.
On your 2ND DAY, you:
1. Fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration
2. Fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee
3. Froze hiring of all Air Traffic Controllers
4. Fired 100 top FAA security officers

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.
The people in my autism parenting groups who are just figuring out what gutting the Department of Education is going to do to their kids, after they voted for Trump. Whew, chile. It’s a whole lotta, “They can’t do that, right?” Nah, bro. They can and they’re gonna.
Saying "but Hamas" or "but what the Palestinians did" in this situation is the equivalent of saying "all lives matter." You're reflexively obscuring the power dynamics and systemic racism at play, and equating state violence with the retaliation of the powerless. Just stop.
i feel so insane confronting the fact that there was an outpouring of public mourning for the 260 israeli lives tragically lost, and now radio silence for the thousands of palestinians that are being indiscriminately killed in retaliation.
It’s kind of hilarious how often drunk girls exchange Instagrams and just never talk again. I met this girl at a bar five years ago and I’ve seen her graduate, get married, have a baby 😂
The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson
