@Uber_Support The driver very clearly did not deserve it, based on the other refunds you’re giving me for that order. So why are your support agents lying to customers and telling them that the driver won’t be paid the tip and the customer will be issued the refund

@Uber_Support I was given a credit for the full amount of the tip and then told that the driver would not receive the tip but then the ubercash credit was used to pay the tip

A ativista Nikki Sapiro enfatizou a importância de Lady Gaga no show de Bad Bunny no Super Bowl. 🇵🇷 1) Pessoas brancas, se vocês querem entender como se posicionar agora, vale olhar para a apresentação da Lady Gaga no Super Bowl. 2) Gaga não se colocou no centro Ela não fez daquele momento algo sobre ela. Ela entrou em cena sabendo de quem era aquele palco. Ali, o foco era celebrar e valorizar a cultura latina. 3) Gaga honrou a cultura Ela ajustou a performance, a música e a presença dela para conversar com a linguagem cultural do show. Não para aparecer mais. Não para dominar. Para estar alinhada. 4) Ela enalteceu, não se apropriou O vestido não era fantasia, nem "figurino" emprestado: foi uma encomenda para a LUAR, marca fundada por pessoas latinas. Isso é investimento. Isso é redistribuição. Isso é respeito. 5) Gaga ensina Se você tem poder, use para amplificar, não para ofuscar. Se foi convidado a entrar, respeite o espaço. Se não é a sua história, não tente reescrevê-la. É assim que a gente aparece de forma correta.

I’m just going to say something to MAGA real quick, and I’m not going to bother arguing with any of you any further. There simply is no point. I fear that you don’t quite realize what is going on right now because you have a boot shoved so far down your throat that you can’t see what’s literally right in front of you. The government is infringing on your first amendment right, second amendment right, and fourth amendment right. You simply don’t care because you see it happening to people that you don’t like; people that you believe deserve it, and you think that it will never happen to you but you are sadly mistaken. The government is turning against its citizens and violating the constitution. You are not exempt to that and you will find that out very soon. So, while you may not agree with the people damaging buildings or throwing ice snowballs at Federal agents, or “getting in the way,” you should be on the side of American citizens who are losing their freedoms because that includes YOU wether you believe that or not. The government is not going to spare you because you support them, they don’t know you and they don’t care about you.

To be clear, none of this means we can’t fight back or shouldn’t, but when you ask why people aren’t doing more to fight back you have to take into consideration a lot of the material realities we are dealing with and that we also have to figure out how to overcome them.

President Obama told yall to vote for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris ... yall told him to shut the fuck up... now after yall done fucked this country up... now yall want the Black man to do something when all you had to do was vote for the 2 qualified and experienced women.

I feel seen , anyone else ?

RT @TheJFreakinC: 🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents were filmed assaulting U.S. citizens outside a HIGH SCHOOL in Minneapolis, pepper-spr…

I say this without any political affiliation or agenda. A woman sitting in a car full of toys, surrounded by masked officials, clearly panicking and making a mistake, whose vehicle may have struck one of them in a non-life-threatening way, would not have been executed in a civilized country. She would have been arrested, restrained, and brought before a court. The officer would have had the protection of the law. Instead, she was killed. That is not justice. What is even more disturbing are the reactions in the US comments on X. They show a near zero valuation of human life and instead aggressively glorify blind obedience to “law and order.” The underlying message is clear: comply perfectly or die. That mindset is not about justice or safety. It is about submission, and it exposes a deeply unhealthy moral compass.

COLLINS: After you told ICE to get the F out of the city, I've seen a lot of Republicans criticizing you for escalating tensions. What do you say to that? JACOB FREY: I'm so sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but here's the thing: if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb and on the other you have someone who killed somebody else

MAGA always says, ‘Just do it the right way.’ But when people follow the legal process to come here and naturalize, they still get attacked. So maybe the issue isn’t the ‘right way’, it’s that they don’t want them here at all.

RT @SFdirewolf:

An Afghan ally who served alongside U.S. forces was legally paroled into the U.S. and showed up for his first hearing. @DHSGov detained him anyway—using a vague “improvidently issued” excuse. He followed the rules. We have the video. This must stop. #AfghanEvac #DueProcess

If you pronounce it EYE-ran , then EYE DGAF about your opinion

This is what fascism looks like. Plain and simple. It is not "allowed" in the United States of America, but this is the part where we learn that laws don't mean shit during an authoritarian takeover.

Guns are a uniquely American problem. The rest of the world has mental health issues. The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division. They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games. What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have more than 500 mass shootings in less than a year, they don’t have a populace paralyzed with fear that their child will be next. That THEY could be next. At least, not until they arrive here. After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world. In Australia, a 1996 massacre prompted mandatory gun buybacks The rate of mass shootings went from once every 18 months to only one in the 26 years since. Canada also tightened gun laws after a 1989 mass shooting. So did Germany in 2002, New Zealand in 2019 and Norway in 2021. Meanwhile here in America… since the Columbine massacre, there have been a total of 304 fatal school shootings in the United States. Since 1999, 440 people have been killed and 1,243 injured in shooting events at K-12 schools. Since Sandy Hook — mass shootings have nearly tripled. 121 people have been killed and 281 people have been injured from school shootings since Parkland. And there have been well over 100 incidents of gunfire at K-12 schools since the Uvalde school shooting. In 2023, in the 632 mass shootings recorded, 597 people died and 2,380 people were injured. In total last year in this country - more than 40,000 people died from gun violence. That is an average of almost 118 gun deaths each day. Every year, approximately three million kids are exposed to gun violence. This. Is. An. American. Problem. There are more civilian owned guns in this country than there are civilians. It’s not the pot, the porn, the video games, it’s not the wrong kinds of locks, or too few “good guys with guns”, and it’s not the mental health issues. Nearly every other country on earth has those things. And they don’t live this way. It’s the guns.

If people are open to talking about autism vs mansplaining now, I'll add my own less pressing but still pertinent take: As an autistic woman who's had every interest and expertise explained to her at length, I don't care either way. The impact on me is the same.

It’s easier to believe we’re exaggerating or faking than accept the reality that health is a temporary state not guaranteed to anyone. Unless the system changes you too will be faced with hard choices, crappy compromises and little help when you lose your health. /17
