And objectively violent thugs.

The media jumped on the reporting about Dao because the info is available and they need to keep a steady stream of related articles out there to get the clicks. They’d have to do actual legwork and put in some time to track down the officers who dragged the guy off the plane.

He’s a doctor. He didn’t choose to be a public figure, dude; he’s not Justin Bieber. He’s just a doctor who wanted to go home so he could treat his patients. What the fuck is wrong with you?

As the kids say, “why not both?”

Law & Order is my jam, and can I just say that Mariska Hargitay is my hero. Not only does she work on behalf of real life victims with her Joyful Heart foundation, this is a woman who has held a long time leading role on a hugely popular series for over fifteen years. For a woman in show business that is…

I don’t think they give you actual money. They give you flight vouchers for another shitty United flight.

Anti-choicers LIE - it can never be about “babies,” no matter how much they shout, because they don’t recognize the rights of WOMEN (grown babies).

This man...this man. He is so important right now, and I commend him. His voice needs to be heard, especially in the Black community. Many people are falling for the “Planned Parenthood was created to kill Black babies” story put out by conservatives. I know educated, intelligent Black women who think Planned…

This man is a hero. The courage it must take to be an outspoken and highly-visible abortion provider in this day and age, when you have seen your colleagues killed, and in the face of rabid anti-choice activists and legislation, is tremendous. I fervently wish for his continued safety.

I haven’t used United or Delta for years due to rudeness and incompetence.

I’m not a lawyer, and I’ve seen conflicting reports on whether United had the right to deny boarding when flight was not oversold by definition and passenger had already boarded and been seated, but either way, the way they treated the passenger is beyond the pale. I used to fly United a lot, but their decrease in…

Thank you for the info! And I just had to purchase a ticket. It was more money (slightly) to fly on not-United, but fuck if they are getting my money now.

I’m amazed at how many people don’t blame United for this. It’s absolutely amazing who is mostly okay with fascism as long as it’s not affecting them.

IF ONLY this were a more viable option for travel in the US. I would happily skip to the train and spend a day there to go from Chicago to Omaha if 1) the trains were ever even on the same planet as on time or 2) the journey didn’t take 15 hours because of all the stops. I would love to see the US invest in their…

Jesus. These people have been double-speaking bourgeoisie for so fucking long, never having to travel economy or, likely, on anything that’s not a private plane, they don’t realize that anyone who was forced to give up their seat against their will, when they paid for their seat and were already assigned their seat…

If they really did run an algorithm to come up with 4 randomly selected people and this guy, an actual fucking doctor, said I have patients to see then United could have run it again and gotten someone with relatively less obligations back home to get off the flight. I’ve never flown United but it’s stories like this…

Does United not have a single PR person? Someone, anyone who could put some platitudes on cue cards and shove this guy in front of the camera? One of the cops is already being investigated, how hard would it be for United to do the whole “we are deeply disturbed by the incident and will look into it” song and dance?…

I have a theory that she’s not as rich as the media purports her to be (which I think is actually true of lots of entertainers). I think this marriage served both of them in different ways.

She has a co-guardian but she is still their legal guardian. The family is just so gross. I know there appears to be a few normal ones in the mix but how anyone thought having this troup of gold diggers raise children was a good idea is absolutely beyond me.

Right, both Paris and Prince were all over twitter demanding to know what happened to their grandmother, because they hadn’t seen her in over a week. And then they propped Katherine up on ABC to read a statement, while them bums were standing guard behind her. I’ve been side-eyeing Janet ever since.
