Unsurprising but bad news, however, the language of this post "this time, millions of Americans like you and I could be the target," stands out to me. What about the people targeted after 9-11 was "not like you and I" (millions of Americans were definitely targeted at that time)?
Seems like we (myself included here) didn't stand up when they came for Muslims, and now we're shocked when they come for us...?
The non-Muslim leftists who *we're* targeted after 9-11 know who they are and were/are doing things right.

Electric cargo ships crossing oceans could be just 3 years away. CATL's marine division has already supplied batteries for 900 vessels and is making big strides with sodium-ion tech.
Falling battery prices are finally making long-range electric shipping economically viable—a huge step toward zero-carbon ocean freight.
