What in the world? This isn't just drones, this cancels all airline and cargo flights into a big city for 10 days on no notice, stranding people, also grounds local police and air ambulance helicopters. @jfallows.bsky.social ?

FAA issues restrictions halting all flights to and from El Paso International Airport (ELP) for 10 days due to "special security reasons." tfr.faa.gov/tfr3/?page=detail...

USAF strategic transport flights to and from Europe and the Middle East in the last 24 hours. 6x C-5Ms 28x C-17As

Congested skies. 2 hours of ADSBx USAF transport flights over Europe and the Middle East. 16 airframes. *Note: several of the airframes only show at their last reported position and were further east over the Middle East. Even so, this is one of the busier 2 hours of C-17s/C-5M flights I've seen.

An in-flight emergency (IFE) was delcared for 🇺🇸 USAF C-5M 86-0026 #AE0577 earlier. Per ACARS message via @thebaldgeek.bsky.social's site, 🇶🇦 OTBH (al-Udeid AB) would only take the Super Galaxy if it declared an IFE, which they did. -0026 was going to 🇸🇦 Prince Sultan AB prior to the emergency.

Congrats, Seahawks.

My first grader (a US citizen) came home from school crying because a friend from class (also a US citizen) hasn’t been coming to school because his parents (one of whom is not a citizen) are afraid of ICE. Little kids don’t have concepts of racism and xenophobia. That has to be taught. Or imposed.

Cuba announced sweeping fuel rationing measures to protect essential services as the US moves to cut off the island’s oil supply, Reuters reports. The plan prioritizes fuel for healthcare, water, food production, education, transportation, and defense, while limiting sales to drivers. Tourism and...

Friend just texted me, said he saw a review of the Melania movie. "If it was an in-flight movie, people would still walk out."

Israeli PM Netanyahu two mornings ago is invoking Epstein to smear a political rival, fmr. PM Ehud Barak from Israel’s security establishment who sits to Netanyahu’s left. But Drop Site’s reporting shows Epstein wasn’t just tied to Barak. He helped open doors for Netanyahu too. An investigation...

One thing I have had in the back of my mind, for those who are doing research on the Epstein files, is context is important. With all these diplomats/politicians having in-person meets or convos with Epstein, I think it is important to know why they're talking w/ him. It's a 2-part story.

What's going to happen. All will hold Together as one Until one turns Then they will all turn On each other.

"and the spreadsheets they populate" This person gets it. 😊

Thank you for the coverage, @npr.org. If you, dear reader, would like to help other people observing ICE in Minnesota, please contribute to our dash cam drive - more than a thousand have been distributed so far, and demand remains high: ottergoose.net/dashcam/

Thank you! If you’d like to help, I’m also working to get ICE observers dash cams: ottergoose.net/dashcam/

If you are going through these records: - steady or brace yourself - take your time - recognize if it is getting to you, then take more time to properly manage stress, toll, etc. - just know you have immense support from people around the world wanting justice for the victims. Were here for you.

Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney, has resigned. He "takes full responsibility" for advising Starmer to appoint Lord Mandelson who resigned after documents and photos revealed he was deeply involved in Epstein matters.

Just wanted to reassure everyone who were concerned about my wellbeing from an earlier post that I am alright. Covering a lot of this takes its toll. I've had frequent discussions with others who cover terrible things that it can and will get to you and you have to step back now and then.

Belgorod came under its third missile attack of the day with explosions and blackouts reported again this evening. Russian media also claim a HIMARS strike hit the Bryansk region.

Damn, bro.

Lol. Get rekt.

Going to bed with tears in my eyes, sure, that happens and I'm used to it. It's the waking up with them there that is new.

*squinting_goose_meme.jpeg* What do you mean 'operations'?

NEW STORY: Trump admits he was the one who found the video and asked that it be posted from his Truth Social account. Refuses to apologize.

Remember when Republicans were all about restoring honor and dignity to the White House?

I think the most painful thing you can tell someone that is giving 150% mentally, emotionally and physically evry single day to helping people (here and IRL) is 'you don't care'. It's invalidating.

We (the U.S.) got problems.

This Iranian drone pass seemed a little too concentrated yesterday, and now it makes sense. Stena Imperative was in the area of focus.

The French are taking none of Musk’s bullshit.
