@elonmusk I wish I could add my name to the wait list but I will keep on watching Elon master the universe 👏👏👏

Dion Dawkins adopted a school. Not a classroom. The whole school, the one in Buffalo where kids go when they have run out of other options. He has been the Buffalo Bills nominee for the NFL Man of the Year four years in a row. Here is where it started. He grew up in Rahway, New Jersey. When it snowed he would set his alarm early, get up, and go knock on doors asking if people wanted their driveway shoveled. They started calling him the Shnowman. He has it tattooed across his chest. Here is how he explains the name. "I call myself the Shnowman because they're the spark of the outside." He was also a Boys and Girls Club kid. That is where he went after school for somewhere safe to be, and where he says he found structure and friendship. They have since put him in their Alumni Hall of Fame. He went to Rahway High School, then to Temple, and the Bills took him 63rd overall in 2017. He has made five straight Pro Bowls at left tackle. Now the part that explains the rest of it. "I had to step up and be a father to my brother's kids for a little while." "That inspired me." He started a foundation and named it Dion's Dreamers. In 2023 he adopted The Academy School in Buffalo, the district's alternative school, and he keeps showing up there to sit with the students. He also runs something called Shnow Day. Classrooms apply and he pays for the entire trip. More than 450 classrooms across Western New York put in for it. One group he took to the Aquarium of Niagara. The players union named him its Community MVP for it. On one community day in Buffalo he put in 25,000 dollars and helped hand out about 2,000 hot meals, along with clothing, produce, and bikes and helmets for kids. He did not forget the other place either. He gave Rahway High School 14,500 dollars worth of sports gear, and at a kickball tournament back home he handed out three scholarships of 2,500 dollars each. A student once told him he was his hero. Dawkins said that meant the world to him. Here is the simplest version of why he does any of it. "The simple answer is I'm addicted to seeing organic smiles." Here is what he says Buffalo itself has become to him. "They've graduated to real family." And here is what he says he actually wants. "Every child having at least one positive adult in their lives to look up to." He is 32 years old and he protects the blind side of one of the best teams in football. The kid who used to knock on doors in the snow is still knocking. He just adopted a whole school to do it.

We have Love Island. We have Survivor. We have The Bachelor. Now please make a show where you put a billionaire CEO in a regular apartment, give them their lowest-paid employee’s paycheck, and tell them it has to last 30 days. I’d watch every episode.

🇺🇸 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.

This commercial by Budweiser aired only 1 time in honor of all those lost on that day. ❤️🤍💙

A Hero That Trusted His Intuition. The problem wasn’t that Morgan Stanley didn’t believe him. Rick Rescorla had already been right once. After the 1993 basement bombing of the World Trade Center, the firm’s security chief walked the towers, studied the site, and reached a conclusion most people preferred not to hear: the World Trade Center was still a target. Next time, he said, it would not be a truck. It would be an airplane. An airplane. In a 1993 report. Executives listened. Then they looked at the lease. Morgan Stanley was the largest tenant in the complex—twenty-two floors of the South Tower, thousands of brokers, and a trading infrastructure that could not be packed into boxes and wheeled across the Hudson. They literally made it a trading center. The contract with the Port Authority ran until 2006. Walking away from premium Manhattan space of that scale would have meant penalties measured in the hundreds of millions, plus the operational chaos of relocating an entire downtown machine. So the company stayed. Rescorla adjusted. If they could not leave the building, they would learn to escape it. He built a protocol and treated it like doctrine. Unannounced drills. No exemptions. Brokers who billed by the minute were pulled off their desks and sent into the stairwells two by two, starting from the top floors, leaving a lane for firefighters coming the other way. People complained. He did not care. Practice, he believed, was the only thing that would beat panic. On the morning of September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower. From the 44th floor of the South Tower, Rescorla could see the fire. Then the Port Authority came over the speakers: the South Tower was secure. Stay at your desks. Rescorla grabbed a bullhorn and ignored them. He started the drill his people already knew by heart. Floor by floor, two by two, down the stairs. He sang as he moved—Cornish songs from childhood, then “God Bless America”—keeping the line moving, refusing to let the stairwell become a stampede. Seventeen minutes later, the second plane struck the South Tower. By then, most of Morgan Stanley was already on the way out. Of the 2,687 employees in the building that morning, all but 13 survived. It was stunning. Rescorla could have been outside with them. He went back up instead. Colleagues told him to leave. He said he would, as soon as he was sure no one was left behind. He was last seen around the 10th floor, heading higher. The South Tower fell at 9:59 a.m. They never found him. He was one of the 13. He was a hero in every sense of the word. Remember Rick Rescorla, he remembered for us.

Why do we keep hearing we’re “running out of money” for Social Security but we never hear about running out of money for welfare, SNAP, Medicaid, etc? Entitlement programs for leeches are fully funded forever, but the thing you specifically paid for isn’t? Someone explain this.

To me, its not even about Mitch McConnell anymore. We have a real problem when a Senator can just disappear for six weeks with only the vaguest of explanations & the whole institution just kinda shrugs it off. Every other job in America would fire you for this.

@chiproytx And drivers license require the same so why isn’t she saying about that one?

Breaking: The cowards at @PhoenixMercury deleted the post making fun of CC getting throat punched by Alyssa Thomas. If you’re gonna ruin the golden goose at least stand by it. COWARDS DELETED

@SenSanders How much do you pay??? We need to redistribute OUR CONGRESSIONAL WEALTH!

@RoKhanna @Georgesantos Why are they all saying give more and they aren’t? Work on budgets and using our money wisely without waste

@RoKhanna Right we fought to stop taxation

@RoKhanna Let’s go back to stop taxing at such high levels to “offer” to give it back to us

@mayemusk Who doesn’t love a proud mom

@Osint613 I mean why aren’t you mad we already have to do this to get a drivers license???
