A man tried to carry a gun aboard a plane. Detected, he lunged for the weapon and (apparently unintentionally) fired it. Three people were hurt. Injuries non-lethal, but who wants to suffer a bullet wound because some dumbass can't be separated from his security blanket? 1/x
Atlanta airport authorities issued an arrest warrant for a gun owner who fled after his weapon accidentally went off, causing huge delays in flights amid the busy Thanksgiving period reut.rs/3HDM6xz

Last week I said Aaron Rodgers was the tragic face of the @NFL. I wish to make a correction: it’s both Aaron Rodgers + Joe Flacco. Their lack of critical thinking skills, commitment to teammates, country is both dreary and inexcusable, and causing needless loss of American lives – at Houston, TX
Joe Flacco confirmed he’s not vaccinated. Hence, the mask. Says he has his reasons, but doesn’t want to create a “distraction” by going into it. #Jets

Racial covenants — language that barred Black people and other minorities from living in white neighborhoods — are still on the books across the U.S.
They're unenforceable now, but remain an ugly reminder of the nation’s racist past.
And they can be shockingly hard to remove 🧵
ALT A woman wearing a pink jacket and jeans stands with her husband, wearing a denim jacket, as they hold up a piece of paper showing the deed to their home. They're in a yard with trees and a wooden fence in the background. Overlaid text reads "Racial covenants are still in home deeds across the country."

In cutthroat cultures, people kiss up and kick down. They protect themselves by currying favor with people in power and exploiting those without it.
In supportive cultures, people speak up and support down. They protect people without power by raising problems to those with it.

In 2015 John McEntee was a production assistant at Fox News helping with social. In 2020 he was organizing the purge of the federal bureaucracy of people not sufficiently loyal to Donald Trump, including the Secy of Defense.

Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of our democracy. Defending the right to vote and getting dark money out of politics are issues that impact rural areas just as they do urban.
Great to join @staceyabrams, who is leading the fight to ensure access to the ballot box.

wonder if people realize that, at some point in the near future, there may be gluts of many of the things that are now in very short supply. It's how the system works (or doesn't work)
