@JetBlue Folks need to be made aware of your reps' deceptive practices. I was quoted a price 4 a flight change & charged $300 more than that amount. When asked 4 a recording of the conversation as proof, I was denied and told that I wouldn't be refunded. Complaint & response here

The phrase “public space” becomes an oxymoron once you build hostile architecture.

It then becomes clear the space isn’t open to everyone: elderly/disabled/homeless people aren’t allowed.

@mysunday2sunday I need to reach someone from customer service ASAP. I have an unfulfilled order long after my account was charged.

@Mailchimp I tried to send my first campaign today after 3 months of paid membership & prep and your compliance team blocked the email from going out. AND I haven't been able to get assistance all day. We're a nonprofit that's expended funds on your service. Help please.

1. What’s not computing for me is the resources being used to ticket mango and churro vendors and poor people at turnstiles, and raiding homeless encampments. The ends & means are not justified. It would be comical if not so damn devastating.🧵

It's time to #PassTOPA & equip tenants w/ tools to exercise agency over where they live. Tenants should have the option to purchase their buildings --for long-term stability-- before they get sold to a slumlord or flipped for profit. @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

Let’s prevent homes from being passed slumlord to slumlord! Instead: expand tenant rights & empower people to take control of their homes.

@GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins and @CarlHeastie include $1B for TOPA in the budget!

Especially compared to gas price discourse, chatter on rent demonstrates the chokehold the profiteers have on our imaginations. Rent is one of our biggest bills, yet we've normalized rent gouging. Rents are set based on whatever the market allows. We could change that, actually.

We're fighting for NYS Tenant Opportunity to Purchase #TOPA to fight the root causes of evictions by expanding tenant and community ownership. Join @NYCCLI and @housing4allNY for a Town Hall next week to learn more about the bill and build power to pass #TOPA this session!

“If you want to address envrnmntl racism, there is no colorblind way to do that. Say this is remedial work based on past gov discrim. If you want to help Black people, you’re going to get sued. Either you’re w/ the effort to help Black people or you’re not”https://t.co/cCKw8e7Sje

expanding landlording and the rental income hustle is not addressing the racial wealth gap in the way u think…

I'm continuously inspired by the work and values of @AfricatownCLT. They are unrelenting in their fight for Black liberation through grassroots community development. Keep shining. https://t.co/7qLjJOgc52

They keep giving this baby lawyer (me) a chance to vent and vision and co-conspire with others. And I'm thankful. Looking forward to learning from all of my co-panelists.
