@NicolleDWallace: Weirdly, except with "About RAINN" on https://t.co/1JSgdfYxlY, but nowhere on @Twitter, @RAINN rarely uses the words Rape Abuse & Incest National Network!

[Thomas Gordon @EarthOrb]

Maybe it's naive to say this, but society's refusal to regularly repeat "Rape Abuse & Incest" almost gives tacit permission to perpetrators.

Weirdly, most women I encounter as an @Uber driver don't know @RAINN at all! Imagine if 500 of these RAINN Lightboxes were driven in Austin?

@NicolleDWallace: I've said this before, but it is absurd that the words Rape Abuse & Incest should be taboo. Unless it's Rape Abuse and Incest Nat'l Network!

Clicking on "911 Assistance" goes to a page with a big red bar at the bottom and an updating window showing your estimated current location.

FYI, the automated (and silent) 911 feature is in the Safety Toolkit (the blue badge) at the lower right of the map page. CLICK "911 ASSIST"

@NicolleDWallace: Please DO answer this ? Why NOT take advantage of every tool that keeps @Uber riders safe, including the little-known automated 911 feature?

[Thomas Gordon @EarthOrb]

The clearest piece of evidence in this regard is that @Uber's refused to advertise their automated 911 feature for nearly 2 years in Austin.

It's not totally settled, but RAINN seems to believe - despite all evidence - that rideshare companies WANT to protect single female riders.

I've been trying to get @RAINN to recognize the danger of child locks in Ubers with this "RAINN Lightbox" and tamper-proof back door decals.

Every time @MichelleBowdler recounts the terror of her multiple rapes, I am even more outraged at her description of indifference by police.

[Thomas Gordon @EarthOrb]

There's something very wrong when a ride share company lists essentially the same number of sexual assaults and rapes for two years running!

[Thomas Gordon @EarthOrb]

@MichelleBowdler: Not sure when it came out, but I am 100% sure the first annual @Uber safety report listed 3,000+ assaults - some on drivers - and 229 rapes.

The utterly shocking thing about your book was its detailed description of the indifference displayed by the police in sexual assault cases.

[Thomas Gordon @EarthOrb]

I missed commenting on your awesome book's one-year anniversary, @MichelleBowdler, but I took your advice and read IS RAPE A CRIME? &others!

@MichelleBowdler: Fantastic NPR interview! I was shocked by my ignorance of sexual assault, despite having solved the child safety lock problem. Please DM me!

@dkhos @nytopinion @Uber @dkhos: You won't read this, but rider app confuses folks by having TWO blue badges for Safety and Covid. The latter should be a RED CROSS!!

[Thomas Gordon @EarthOrb]

@dkhos I just mailed an updated version of the driver-financed UBER LIGHTBOX system, with its innovative solution to the child safety lock problem.
