The media are covering the devastation of hurricanes in the US.

You know what no one is covering?  All the heroes who came rushing to help.

So here's a Goodable 🧵
David Barcenas, a local cameraman, found a stranded and terrified kitten — then got on his hands and knees to save it.

During Hurricane Helene, this family dog found an 11-year old boy trapped under several feet of rubble.

He stayed by the boy's side and kept barking until help came.

He refused to leave without him.

On this day, a tiny town in Canada opened up its hearts — and its homes — to 7,000 stranded passengers in a desperate time of need.

They didn’t care about politics, or who the President was. They did it because it's what Canadians do best.

On the east coast of North America, there's a Canadian province called Newfoundland. It’s filled with cold winters, warm summers, and even warmer hearts.

The province has a small town called Gander. In the 1940s, its airport used to be one of the biggest in the world. Image
On September 11, 2001, it started out as a normal day.

People dropped off their kids, went to work, chatted with friends. The kind of things that happen everyday in small towns across Canada.

But in an instant, everything changed.

We don't normally post about conflicts, but there's a war happening right now that you should know about.

It's happening right in the heart of America.

A 🧵 Image
This is Morehead City, North Carolina.

It's a quiet town with a population of less than 10,000. It's the last place you'd think a war would erupt, but it happened.

We've confirmed it with multiple sources.

It all started here at a joint called Ioanni's Grill.

They serve $5 house hi-balls and draft beer for $3.50.

The war didn't start because of immigration or politics, or even someone with a gun.

It started because of something innocent. Image

This is Robert Smalls.

His story is wild.

During the US Civil War, he taught himself to read, stole a confederate ship, sailed to freedom, rescued other slaves, bought his former master’s house, then got elected to Congress.

Yet most people have never heard of him.

A 🧵 Image
Smalls was born on a plantation in South Carolina and grew up working on the docks.

When the war erupted, the confederate army forced him to work on a steamship transporting confederate troops and weapons.

But Smalls had other plans. Image
One night, he asked the captain if he could bring his family to show them the ship.

After the soldiers left, he brought his family on board, hid them, and sailed the ship into confederate patrolled waters.

That’s not all. Image
