I can get downgraded out of the premium class seats I paid for, but not upgraded? Now this 6’2”, 260 lb person has to fly in the middle seat of the economy cabin on a different airline…
@AlaskaAir My flight home has disappeared from my trips and the confirmation code shows no flights attached. What gives? Also, FIVE HOUR WAIT TIME for customer service?!
And for some reason, @AlaskaAir, you can’t reaccommodate into a better class of seat (even when the airline has clearly fucked up), so instead of putting me into first, you make me get up an hour earlier and give me a four hour layover in fucking phoenix?!
@FreedomServed @ACissellWrites @TRAVISRAINEY16@PortlandPolice@Oregonian If you had ever been in Portland, you would be aware that the Kenton neighborhood we’re taking about is nowhere near the downtown you’re posting articles about. If you’re not here, don’t pretend you know what’s going on here.
@PramilaJayapal Nah, they had the chance to demilitarize. They refused. It’s time to defund, dismantle, disband, abolish, and start reimagining public safety in a way that is not inherently violent + racist.
@saybahs @RedCoatChicago @Breaking911 There’s no such thing as a blue life, you ridiculous milksop. Blue is just the color our state-sanctioned street gang has chosen for its uniform. They choose the job, accept the pay, and can take the blue off any time they want. That’s not a blue life. It’s a blue shirt.
@portlandfarmers Statements in support of justice are nice, but talk is cheap. Please retrain your staff. Armed police are never the right response for someone experiencing a mental health emergency. Especially when that someone is black. Especially when that someone just needs something to eat.
@portlandfarmers At the market last week, I observed staff call the police to deal with a black man who was acting belligerent because he needed food. After 40 minutes of customer intercession (and police non-response), that call was finally cancelled and Clean & Safe were called.
“Defund” means that Black & Brown communities are asking for the same budget priorities that White communities have already created for themselves: schooling > police,etc.
People asked in other ways, but were always told “No, how do you pay for it?”
So they found the line item.
Uhhh, 8% of the black vote? So... only 92% of black voters hate him? Is it even possible to spin that in a way that doesn’t sound as pathetic as it is, @PressSec ?
Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany: "Mitt Romney can say three words outside on Pennsylvania Avenue but I would note this -- that President Trump won 8% of the black vote."

Haven't tweeted since before Trump was elected. But like so many at @bonappetit who can't be silent right now, I am disgusted and humiliated by my editor-in-chief's actions. It is a disgrace to my colleagues of color who have been doing the real, all-too-often invisible labor.
