When you report a complaint to @deltaairlines after being denied entry to your flight by the gate agent & 7 emails later they still haven't explained... why bother with a complaint form if yall don't actually care?! #ithoughtyallwerethegoodairline #customerservicefail

[Jahneva @Jahneva]

Thought @Delta was supposed to be the best. Was excited to get their CC & book with them (even overpriced). Then a help desk agent walked away mid conversation to take a personal call & a gate agent refused to assign me a seat despite being on the flight list. Can you imagine?!

[Jahneva @Jahneva]

You say the criteria is within 20 miles and deny a home that is sitting on the actual beach, 0 miles away. Do better.

@Airbnb customer service is a joke. Superhosts who have made them $$$ thousands & they can’t bother to let a human review our location & add us to the correct category. Our backyard is the beach, our neighbors list under beach…. #getittogether #stoprelyingonAI #complaint #airbnb

[Jahneva @Jahneva]

You decided to make your search based on categories yet claim to have no way to review or change categories that don’t make any sense (beyond another AI review). Tons of other host complaints about this. #airbnb

In about 4 minutes, the shooter who murdered my son Daniel shot 154 bullets, killing 20 children and six educators. That's why I'm gathering 100,000 petition signatures demanding Congress prohibit the sale of assault weapons. Will you add your name?

If the state doesn’t come through with more money for public transit, people should brace for $3 SEPTA fares and a 20% cut in service, SEPTA CEO Leslie S. Richards told the Pa. House Transportation Committee Tuesday.

Imagine what it’d be like if this level of political intensity and energy was directed at things that actually helped people. We’d have a 4 day work week by now

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

So let me get this straight: Republicans are threatening to remove their own Speaker, impeach the President, and shut down the government on September 30th - disrupting everyday people’s paychecks and general public operations.

For what? I don’t think even they know. Chaos vibes

[Ryan Shead @RyanShead]

You can’t fake this kind of passion and anger. 🇺🇸

This is why so many Americans want to see Jon Stewart run for public office. We need smart people who sincerely care filling seats in Congress.

…not representatives who can’t be bothered to sit in them when September 11th first responders came asking for better medical care.

The average FDNY and NYPD response time on 9/11 was 5 seconds.

…Congresses response time was 18 years.

That tells us all we need to know about those men and women that day and how terrible our government treated them.

On this day in 1963, many white students withdrew from Tuskegee High School in Alabama to avoid attending with Black students—all 275 white students previously enrolled withdrew in one week. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/Jofvuq2Y9b

Morning Joe had a segment about “woke” and how that will be the main focus of the Republican debate.

It’s worth it to post the origins of being woke once again for those in the back.

“Stay woke. Keep your eyes open.” - Lead Belly

The Scottsboro Boys, nine Black teens falsely accused of raping two white women in 1931, were sentenced to death. NAACP forced repeated retrials. They were finally freed but never recovered.

The first documented use of the phrase “stay woke” happened in the 1930s when Lead Belly ended his song about the Scottsboro Boys by advising Black folk traveling through Alabama to “stay woke.”

The term “woke" was created by Black people referring to being alert to systemic racial injustices.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BREAKING: A GOP lawmaker's wife says she's been replacing “terrible” “Unchristian” books with Bibles in local Little Free Libraries in Arkansas.

Jennifer Meeks, wife of Arkansas State GOP Rep. Stephen Meeks, thinks people shouldn't read books that "don't align with our Christian values." So she drives around towns in her area, removing frowned-upon books from Little Free Library Kiosks and replacing them with Bibles.

"I have been swapping out books in little free libraries for awhile," she wrote in a Facebook post earlier this month.

"I have seen good books, terrible books... Recently I have been picking up free Bibles at flea markets and thrift stores…

…Sometimes I find good devotion books or kids’ Bible stories at a good price to add. Or just great books, and a gospel tract is a nice idea too.”

Meeks said she was inspired to do this after seeing a lot of LGBTQ Pride-themed books in the libraries.

"From what I have seen a lot of these books and other things don’t align with Christian values," she wrote.

"Today, I saw a bunch of Pride stuff in one. There’s a group of leftists, especially in Conway, who are very active in keeping little libraries well stocked."

Given the fact that Meeks is married to a lawmaker, this is dangerously close to government censorship.

Also, while you can’t technically steal from a “free” library, this is amazingly unethical.

Maybe instead of planting Bibles, she should try reading one.
