Rachel Maddow@maddow.bsky.social · last yr.A come-to-Jesus moment for American lawyers, and for America's most important law firms. This is it.

Aaron Hoyland@aaronhoyland.bsky.social · 2y agoAfter American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports.
