I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

JUST IN: Report reveals at least 62,199 people were arrested in Britain for “speech-related offenses” between 2021 & 2025.

25 years ago today Welles Crowther gave his life helping others on 9/11. This is the best story @espn has ever done. Share it with your kids and any others who may not have been alive on 9/11 and don’t know what true bravery in the face of evil is.

🚨 Two years ago, I was detained in Paris by police for 3 days — the longest they can hold someone before charging them.
In an unprecedented move, French authorities accused the head of a major platform of crimes committed by its users.
That investigation is still ongoing, although it makes less sense with each passing year.
Why?
Because we now have extensive evidence that Telegram was neither worse than other popular platforms at moderation, nor the worst at cooperating with authorities.
So why was Telegram singled out?
Over the last two years, we have seen a pattern emerge in multiple countries: Telegram is quietly asked to grant political favors — such as illegal censorship or surveillance. When we refuse, local media and “non-governmental” organizations launch orchestrated campaigns portraying Telegram as a cesspool of crime, from child pornography to terrorism.
Our moderation is no worse than that of other major platforms. Yet these campaigns instill the idea that Telegram should be persecuted or restricted.
Suddenly, officials start caring about crime and protecting children — but only on platforms that reject their secret political demands. Platforms that accept such deals get away with almost anything — including literally selling ads promoting child pornography.
Is the French investigation against me political? It certainly fits the pattern we see elsewhere, mostly in authoritarian countries. And it definitely raises questions.
In time, this investigation may itself be investigated — especially now that Macron’s war against free speech is facing pushback. This month, France’s Constitutional Council struck down his social media ban for children under 15 on freedom-of-expression grounds.
In the end, freedom and truth will prevail ✊

I was just suspended by Ghent University. They will almost certainly fire me.
The decision was made by rector Petra De Sutter, a former leader of the Green Party.

Elon just played the ultimate UNO reverse again on censorship
For years, governments have tried to threaten 𝕏 through legal battles, fines, deliberately changing regulations, and demands to restrict speech in all sorts of ways
𝕏 fought back again and again and again
They used all kinds of different forces they had in every possible way to go after 𝕏... Like a full targeted attack
So when a government can legally force a platform to apply a filter, Elon just changed that game completely:
Make the censorship itself transparent
𝕏 is now open-sourcing the core system and making even the government-required restrictions very clearly visible
So if a government wants something censored, fine
Now the entire world gets to see who demanded it and how it was enforced
That is the UNO reverse.... What kind of filter would you put for this kind of transparency lol
Elon has always fought for free speech and pushed for extreme transparency. Now he’s making sure even government censorship can’t hide in the dark

Any censorship required by governments is now clearly visible

Prof Jason Arday called the police on a fellow academic and a journalist who were investigating discrepancies in his academic and charitable record.
Devon and Cornwall Police declined to investigate Prof David Harris after he sent Prof Arday a series of legitimate questions about inconsistencies in his record via email. Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police investigated a harassment allegation against Times Higher Education journalist Jack Grove for doing his job.
The Met went on to advise Mr Grove not to contact Prof Arday again because it was affecting the professor’s mental health.
This is the same force that sent five armed police officers to arrest Irish comedian Graham Linehan as his plane landed at Heathrow over three gender-critical posts on X.
It is not good enough for Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley simply to say his force “dropped the ball” in this case. It happens too often.
Jason Arday sought to use the police as a tool to silence those who were investigating his record.

This is the greatest clip of all time. These liars are now having to deal with their embarrassing past and they are too far gone to even be humiliated

The Starmer Government announced an official definition of Islamophobia — repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — in March. The then Communities Secretary also announced plans to appoint a Government-backed Islamophobia tsar.
Since then, we have seen the official definition used to silence legitimate criticism, debate and discussion of Islam, its practices and its history.
It has been weaponised by Labour MPs, activists and public bodies.
The new Prime Minister should scrap plans for an Islamophobia tsar and abandon this back-door Islamic blasphemy law.
