seems like as good a time as any to remember that America's current Secretary of Transportation started his professional career as a cast member of MTV's groundbreaking reality TV shows "The Real World" and "Road Rules" and has no relevant experience of any kind for the job (other than being a #MAGA congressman and a #FoxNews host).

I remember watching Yevgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov back in the 90s. What a tragic loss for US Figure Skating. And not the first time it has happened according to the article! In 1961, the entire 18 person USA team was killed in a plane crash

Revolting pig
#Trump is now speaking about the #AmericanAirlines crash. It is his first appearance in the briefing room since his White House return.
He immediately goes from *mourning* the victims to political attacks. He assails fmr Transportation Sec Pete Buttigieg as “a disaster,” blaming him for #diversity objectives at the FAA. The inference is that diversity = incompetence.

A few brief words about the American Airlines flight 5342 crash in Washington DC
It’s important to remember that not everything we see or read on social media is true. News happens fast when there’s a disaster of this magnitude, and a lie makes its way around the world before the truth can put its boots on.
Be careful what you’re sharing and who you’re amplifying. Family and loved ones of people who were on that plane are no doubt on social media too. Don’t add to their trauma.
If you can, include a trigger warning if sharing the video. It’s painful and difficult to watch and many people would rather not see it.
Wait for search and rescue to do their job. We don’t want to give people false hope or unnecessarily panic them either.
I assume a bigger conversation will happen in the coming days, but it is worth noting that Trump fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard, and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee.
It’s way too soon to know what happened, but this is an example of why the WAY the Trump admin are governing is so dangerous.
They’re executing so many freezes, firings and executive orders so quickly that people can’t keep up.
They’ve exhausted and stressed out the public to the point that critical news will be missed.
I suspect many of us didn’t know about his TSA and aviation security firings until this crash happened.
This is one more reason to follow and support credible, dedicated independent journalists who you can trust to keep you well informed during these increasingly hectic and disinformation heavy times.
