Geez @nytimes. Here is an alt headline

Proof of the impact a single brave person can have on the world. Let’s roll.
Lisa: Can you tell me how many hijackers are on the plane?
Todd: There are three that we know of.
Lisa: Can you see any weapons? What kind of weapons do they have?
Todd: Yes…. they don’t have guns….they have knives – they took over the plane with knives.
Lisa: Do you mean…like steak knives?
Todd: No, these are razor knives…like box cutters.
Lisa: Can you tell what country these people are from?
Todd: No…..I don’t know. They sound like they’re from the mid-east.
Lisa: Have they said what they want?
Todd: Someone announced from the cockpit that there was a bomb on board. He said he was the captain and to stay in our seats and stay quiet.
He said that they were meeting these men’s demands and returning to the airport… It was very broken English, and… I’m telling you…it sounded fake!
Lisa: Ok sir, please give me your name.
Todd: My name is Todd Beamer.
Lisa: Ok Todd….my name is Lisa…Do you know your flight number?
Todd: It’s United Flight 93.
Lisa: Has anyone been injured?
Todd: Yes, ..they…they killed one passenger sitting in first class. There’s been lots of shouting. We don’t know if the pilots are dead or alive. A flight attendant told me that the pilot and copilot had been forced from the cockpit and may have been wounded.
Lisa: Where is the 3rd hijacker now Todd?
Todd: He’s near the back of the plane. They forced most of the passengers into first class. There are fourteen of us here in the back. Five are flight attendants. He hasn’t noticed that I slipped into this pantry to get the phone. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor in the rear of the plane……….oh Jesus.. Help!
Lisa: Todd….are you ok? Tell me what’s happening!
Todd: Hello…..We’re going down….I think we’re going to crash……Wait – wait a minute. No, we’re leveling off….we’re ok. I think we may be turning around…..That’s it – we changed directions. Do you hear me….we’re flying east again.
Lisa: Ok Todd…. What’s going on with the other passengers?
Todd: Everyone is… really scared. A few passengers with cell phones have made calls to relatives. A guy, Jeremy, was talking to his wife just before the hijacking started. She told him that hijackers had crashed two planes into the World Trade Center……Lisa is that true??
Lisa: Todd…..I have to tell you the truth…..it’s very bad. The World Trade Center is gone. Both of the towers have been destroyed.
Todd: Oh God —help us!
Lisa: A third plane was taken over by terrorists. It crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC. Our country is under attack….and I’m afraid that your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh dear God. Dear God…….Lisa, will you do something for me?
Lisa: I’ll try….if I can….Yes.
Todd: I want you to call my wife and my kids for me and tell them what’s happened. Promise me you’ll call..
Lisa: I promise – I’ll call.
Todd: .You have the same name as my wife…Lisa….We’ve been married for 10 years. She’s pregnant with our 3rd child. Tell her that I love her…….(choking up)..I’ll always love her..(clearing throat) We have two boys.. David, he’s 3 and Andrew, he’s 1…..Tell them……(choking) tell them that their daddy loves them and that he is so proud of them. (clearing throat again) Our baby is due January 12th…..I saw an ultra sound…..it was great….we still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy………Lisa?
Lisa: (barely able to speak) I’ll tell them, I promise Todd.
Todd: I’m going back to the group—if I can get back I will…
Lisa: Todd, leave this line open…are you still there?……
Lisa: (dials the phone..) Hello, FBI, my name is Lisa Jefferson, I’m a telephone supervisor for GTE. I need to report a terrorist hijacking of a United Airlines Flight 93….Yes I’ll hold.
Goodwin: Hello, this is Agent Goodwin.. I understand you have a hijacking situation?

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.

For working families, the cost of a home is only part of the affordability equation.
New Redfin and Winnie research finds that the typical family buying a home today would spend roughly 52% of their income on housing and childcare combined, and where you live can make a major difference.
That’s why we’re partnering with @Winnie to bring local childcare information to every for-sale home listing on Redfin, helping families consider more of the costs that come with deciding where to call home.
See how housing and childcare costs stack up across the country. ⬇️

[Warning, very very dark]
To survive in the Holocaust as a child, my grandfather pretended dead laying on a pile of dead children his age. His mom physically threw him on it to save him. Everyone else in his family perished.
Today is Holocaust Remembrance day in Israel. Never Again.

This happened. The world doesnt care but we need to keep broadcasting it.
HOSTAGE WAS RAPED "ALMOST EVERY DAY" BY HAMAS💔
👩🏻Her name is Miss Arbel Yehoud.
She was 28 when she was kidnapped by Hamas.
She was in captivity for more than 482 days, and was the last female hostage released from Gaza.
As of today, over a year has passed since the world saw the terrified face of Arbel Yehoud forced to walk through a baying mob of Hamas terrorists to freedom.
Only now does the 30-year-old feel strong enough to reveal that this sickening spectacle was just the last act in a monstrous campaign of abuse unleashed throughout her 482 days held in Gaza.
Arbel lamented the the sexual assault she endured "almost every single day in captivity."
Held alone, it was so bad she claimed tried to commit suicide on multiple occasions.
"I tried to end it three times," Arbel told the BBC.
"I felt like I couldn’t go on. There were moments when I thought it was the only way out."
"Every time, I remembered my boyfriend, and that gave me the strength to keep breathing," she says of her suicidal thoughts.
Now, she struggles to move on from her captivity.
"Since returning, I haven’t truly returned to life," Arbel told Natalie Lisbona of the BBC in an exclusive article published 3 hours ago.

Josh Shapiro Writes That Harris Team Asked if He Had Ever Been an Israeli Agent
In his new memoir, the Pennsylvania governor suggests that when Kamala Harris's team vetted him to be her running mate, aides focused on Israel to an extent he found offensive.

Saikat is lying.
This is intentionally branded as a “CEO tax” to mislead voters — not because CEOs are being taxed, but because the label polls well. The tax is paid by the business, not the executive.
It’s a gross receipts tax on total revenue, not profits, and it will be passed down to consumers.
Grocery stores like Safeway will be affected by this tax, and they operate on razor-thin margins. When their costs go up, food prices go up.
That hits low-income families the hardest, the people already spending the largest share of their income just to get by.
If Saikat wants to support this, fine. But if he wants a long-term political career, he should be honest and direct about what it actually does.
Trump’s budget cuts are gutting critical services in San Francisco, but this June we can fight back. I’m supporting the Overpaid CEO Act to make executives pay their fair share and fund public health, housing, and safety so working people aren’t stuck footing the bill.

Mayor-Elect Mamdani has announced Catherine (Cat) Almonte Da Costa as his Director of Appointments, tasked with “bring[ing] top talent into this administration.”
Her social media footprint includes posts from more than a decade ago that echo classic antisemitic tropes and otherwise demean Jewish people. Tweeting about "Money hungry Jews" is indefensible.
We appreciate Da Costa has relationships with members of the Jewish community, but her posts require immediate explanation -- not just from Ms. Da Costa, but also from the Mayor-Elect.
Vetting the appointment of city leaders will be Ms. Da Costa’s responsibility and the Jewish community deserves to know:
1) Were these comments previously identified by the Mayor-elect’s team? If so, why were they excused?
2) What will be the policy of the new Administration if comments like these are discovered during the vetting process?
