United pilot warmly embraces his bone marrow donor after learning she was a passenger on his flight

Normally, passengers reserve their cheers for the moment the plane touches down, but this weekend, on a United trip, they started clapping before the jet had even taken off. This is because, just before takeoff, the pilot of the flight stepped out of the cockpit to welcome a brave traveler who also happened to be his bone marrow donor. The pilot can be seen going across the cabin to embrace an unidentified young woman, whom he later names as his bone marrow donor, in a video captured by another traveler. As they embraced, the pilot described his donor as a "true hero" and informed the other passengers that he had discovered she was on his flight just before takeoff. Passengers seated around the couple applauded the touching exchange as he went on to say that the woman was a better fit than...

Immigration advocates gear up to fight Trump promises in places that voted for him

Texas's McAllen The front desk of immigration lawyer Alex Martinez's well-lit offices has been humming with business. The legal practice, which is located on a quiet street corner about 8 miles north of the bridge that connects the United States and Mexico, has noticed a significant increase in the number of persons calling and visiting the office in person who are looking for an immigration lawyer. Many of those customers said they or their family members voted for President-elect Donald Trump, who won by less than 3 percentage points last month in Hidalgo County. Hidalgo County hadn't supported a Republican for president since 1972 until this year. It is currently one of 14 counties on or close to the border that supported Trump, many of them for the first time in decades. According to...

These knitters are keeping thousands of LGBTQ homeless youths cozy this winter

Austin Rivers, like many others who took up knitting as a new pastime during the pandemic, found solace in it. However, when he discovered that his hats and scarves could also benefit his queer community in New York City, his craft took on a greater significance. Up to 40% of the nation's homeless youth are LGBTQ youth, therefore he was especially keen to assist them. "I can knit, but I don't have the ability to build a shelter or the network or connections to help in that way," Rivers remarked. I also made the decision to start knitting and start this nonprofit since I knew how cold New York City is. 550 knitters across the country support Knit the Rainbow, which was established in April 2020, by donating their handmade clothing to Rivers and his staff. Through neighborhood NGOs in New Y...
