American Airlines: Has anyone had success in getting American Airlines to respond to your problem? If so, would you tell me how you made that happen? Were you able to talk to someone in customer service? @americanair.bsky.social

when i tell you people never to fly American Airlines this is exactly the type of asinine fuckery I mean. If these worthless pieces of shit had canceled our goddamn flights even a little earlier when the real airlines did I could have been able to pivot and got us on something else tomorrow

Medicare for All? “Socialism!” Social Security? “Socialism!” Free college? “Socialism!” Universal childcare? “Socialism!” But a $1 trillion tax break for the top 1%… “That’s just normal.”

We are seven months in, and the speed with which vital civic institutions are capitulating to authoritarian demands we once would have regarded as inconceivable in an established liberal democracy is jawdropping. I hadn't thought I was polyannaish about America, but it's really stunning.

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day. Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

It's terrible day for this country, when its Fascist President celebrates the opening of a Concentration Camp in the middle of a swamp, to house human slaves, who've been kidnapped by ICE, to make profits for that Concentration Camp, which bankrolls the Fascist President! #AlligatorAlcatraz #StopICE

Republican Donors Cash In on 'Alligator Alcatraz' Immigrant Camp
Contractors who reportedly worked on Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” detention camp have been big donors to Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

What the fuck is wrong with people? Of course, we are also destroying already dismal pediatric healthcare, nutrition, and education systems, so “this is what I voted for” seems consistent (until “they” feel the effect).

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

STOP asking your patients who are wearing masks if they'd like you to wear one. Just put one on. It's exhausting, it's an uneven power dynamic. Disabled people are tired. You should still be wearing a respirator in clinic anyway. #NEISvoid #MedSky

In summary: statements about what "cannot happen" are based on the assumption that all actors respect the system. If those in power refuse, enforcement depends on the other branches, institutions, and ultimately the people. Your point highlights the real-world limits of constitutional safeguards.

Just because something doesn’t affect you personally, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about it. We, as humans should desire to see others free from suffering
