It looks like ICE was given a quota and a deadline for Venezuelan gang members and filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness. For that people are taken from their families and sent to spend the rest of their lives in horrifying conditions.

@JTGenter @SixtDE The Upgrade sell is real. If the category you booked and the one above are both sold out, you will either have to pay the difference between the next category and the one above that, or downgrade.

@Reagan_Airport Looking for info on what safety updates/changes have been implimented post #AA5342, now that the airport is operating normally.

People are breaking down on TikTok because they just realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act.

The heartbreaking part? So many have pre-existing conditions.

One man admitted he voted for Trump without knowing it was Obamacare that allowed his mother with stage 4

@JTGenter @AmericanAir I think it's a new policy. I was asked for ID at three AC visits at two airports last week.

@aselahcurtis something is going on at Trend - many units present and an ambulance just left.

@AmericanAir Please clarify: if Systemwide Upgrade availability looks like this, is it or is it not possible to confirm direct from Main Cabin to Business? Three agents have told me that an upgrade can NOT be confirmed at this time.

@garyleff Probably skipped the last leg of his ticket!

Looks like @WeWork is getting rid of 24/7 access for "all-access" members. #wework

@TheForwardCabin @AmericanAir I was on the same two flights, but on Thursday and in J!

[Demetri Sampas @Meeeech]

@JTGenter PS: Complimentary upgrades are now decoupled from C space/instrument upgrades (Miles, SWU, or BXP). Those can all be cleared if there is availability, though there is that waitlist issue. Comps come from an upgrade version of R, but there is no way to search or check R space.

[Demetri Sampas @Meeeech]

@JTGenter That is becoming quite common.
What's more, is that you'll sometimes see upgrade-C space available when you already have SWUs requested. That situation requires a lengthy call for them to remove and re-request, otherwise it will just sit until it goes to the airport waitlist.

@Hertz Will do, thanks!!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

In a stunning turn of events, a judge has temporarily blocked a new Wyoming law that would have classified almost all abortions in the state as felonies. But what makes this decision particularly noteworthy is that the judge used a rule established by Republicans themselves to do it.

This rule, which was added to the state's constitution in 2012 as a reaction to then-President Barack Obama, was intended to prevent the government from meddling in healthcare matters - an effort primarily aimed at blocking the Affordable Care Act.

So, in a strange twist of fate, the rule meant to thwart Obama's healthcare agenda has now been used to stop an abortion law in its tracks.

Thank you, Obama!
