Shortly before a storm: Aurora rescues 49 people in distress in the Mediterranean.
With the support of our aircraft Seabird and @alarmphone.bsky.social, we rescued 49 people from distress at sea last night, shortly before a storm hit. All people are now safe in Lampedusa.

Can we stop talking throwing around words like "autocracy" and "oligarchy" when talking about America's uncertain future?

According to history, political experts, and a little-known book called "a dictionary," America is ALREADY in the throes of fascism.
