9/11 will forever be etched in our minds and hearts. I almost lost my mom on that day. She was in the heart of the chaos. It was scary and I felt like I lost my breath knowing my mom was right there and witnessed the towers dropping. It was devastating. I'm lucky because she is here with me, but my heart breaks for all those who weren't so lucky. So many who did survive but died shortly after due to illnesses. My heart goes out to the survivors who are dealing with health and mental trauma from that awful day. My prayers for the families who will never forget their loved ones who are no longer here. Our flag is a symbol of freedom and it should be appropriately placed at WTC so future generations understand the life-changing impact 9/11 left on us all. It allowed us to unite, to help one another, and to remember what this country is built on...strength, resilience, and freedom for ALL people. I support this effort and would personally want to see this flag at WTC so I can show my mom that her and everyone affected by that day didn't happen in vain.
Dara supported: Install a Giant Permanent American Flagpole at Ground Zero - NYCMy cousin who was a firefighter lost his life on 9-11 and my husband was supposed to be the on the Cantor Fitzgerald floor doing construction. By the Grace of God he was called off the job the night before. The fact that we have to resort to a petition to put up our big beautiful American Flag for all to see is unbelievable. There should be no question that our flag should be erected tall and proud at the site where many lost their lives due to terrorism. We are Americans and we should not have to ask, this should be a given and our right as a nation to be patriots and PROUD of our FLAG AND COUNTY.
Theresa supported: Install a Giant Permanent American Flagpole at Ground Zero - NYCThis is a monument of great significance. This needs to be a reminder to those who were not alive in 2001. For those of us who experienced that day, we can’t forget, for those who didn’t the story needs to be remembered.
Jim supported: Install a Giant Permanent American Flagpole at Ground Zero - NYCPublix hurricane cakes were more than just a fun treat. They were a symbol of Florida culture at its finest. We believe in having some fun while waiting for the storm to pass. I've signed this petition in hopes that Publix will listen to real Floridians in the local communities they serve and stop catering to a loud group of people (most likely recent transplants) that are hell-bent on destroying every last bit of weirdness that makes Florida beautiful and unique. Long live the hurricane cakes!
Lisa supported: Bring Back Publix Hurricane Cakes! 🌪🎂Floridians have always had a unique way of coping when things get hard. Hurricane Cakes are not only our way of making something sweet out of a crappy situation, but it's literally tradition! Anyone from Florida knows how important these cakes are to us. And for those who aren't from here, they should mind their own business. Taking away the ONE thing that can make a Floridian smile during a natural disaster is about the most heartless, diabolical thing someone could do. BRING BACK THE HURRICANE CAKES!!
Erica supported: Bring Back Publix Hurricane Cakes! 🌪🎂I’m a 2021 transplant, but I fully embody the Floridian spirit... including swamp sunsets, alligator memes, and yes, hurricane prep with the right kind of cake.
I left my snowbound, non-Florida problems at the state line, fully embracing my new role, and all I asked for in return was one tiny joy during storm season: a Hurricane Cake that embodied the resilient spirit of Floridians. It was more than frosting, it was communal defiance, dark humor, and a reminder that Floridians don’t just weather storms, we *own* them.
Sure, someone (maybe a transplant who dragged their out-of-state baggage with them, a snowbird who doesn’t even live here full-time, or a tourist who’s never been back) decided the cakes were insensitive. But guess what? For us, it was never about minimizing danger, it was about binding communities together when Mother Nature turns cranky.
Bring back our Hurricane Cakes. Bring back that sweet little wink that says, “Yeah, we’re here. We’ll survive. And we’ll get cake.” Let’s reclaim one of the most gloriously Floridian traditions ever baked.
Publix, you're on notice. FLORIDIANS want their cake back and FLORIDIANS are the ones that shop at Publix.
Serenity supported: Bring Back Publix Hurricane Cakes! 🌪🎂How about Trump start delivering on his campaign promises. America sure doesn't feel great right about now. And maybe let's not let foreign bad actors influence us into starting unnecessary wars you don't have the stomach to finish. Eff the ball room.
Brian supported: WHCD Attack Makes It Clear: Support President Trump's Call For New East Wing BallroomNationals Park is lying to Media about the conditions and cooling options available for the Stray Kids Concert on June 23, 2025. They were not allowing any outside water bottles into the park-- factory sealed OR empty for refilling. There were also NO misting fans for those in the pits who were waiting since 10am in the 100°+ heat.
Additionally, it was the artists on stage who were checking in with the concert goers and asking for medical help repeatedly because no one was acting with any urgency. Eventually, the artists themselves decided to give the audience time to get water and cool down somewhere because dozens of people were collapsing and fainting or even having seizures.
This is when we discovered that the only water available was on the first level of the stadium or all the way out by the gate. The concessions on the other 3 levels were closed and no water was readily available. This is unacceptable and risky behavior considering that the venue KNEW about the dangerous heat levels a week in advance, as did the fans who were traveling in and doing everything they could to stay hydrated and prepared. Yet the venue, who knew how many tickets were sold, did nothing to make sure the people attending an event at their stadium were safe.
A lot of staff were rude and unprofessional and there are reports of people being laughed at by staff in the midst of their medical episode or flat out being ignored.
Another issue is that the price of water went from $6 a bottle up to $8+ a bottle depending on which water line you got in, when we were given a break by the band.
There was not a single moment throughout the experience at Nationals Park that I or any other concert goer that I have spoken with felt as though the staff or venue cared about the health and safety of those in their care.
It should not fall to the artist performing a show to advocate for basic human decency-- especially when you are a well known venue who took on this event.
So many people spent SO MUCH MONEY and time and suffered through the heat, sustained injuries etc. to be able to attend and enjoy this potentially once in a lifetime concert, yet because of the venues mismanagement and complete disregard to basic human needs and preparation for a heat wave they knew was coming-- 40,000+ people were left disappointment and some even in the hospital.
This behavior is NOT okay and lying to the media to cover your buttons is also unacceptable. I truly hope there are consequences for their dangerous behavior.
All of this is on top of the band members repeatedly asking for urgent help for the fans clearly having medical emergencies and no one acting with any kind of urgency. The band had to give out their own waters to try and keep fans safe.
