I’m so sorry you had to go through such a toxic experience. No one should ever have to go through something like that, and I hope you can eventually find more peace away from the grasp of that horrible person and that toxic environment.

Holy Hell that’s some seriously shitty racist behavior from a supervisor that is supposed to work with and for another race.

I can only speak to my experience working almost exclusively in Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) departments. The BIE is under the BIA, of course. One dynamic that the report from High Country News does not explicitly state is that in many cases, the administrators are non-Indigenous, with the rank and file being…

Most women reported they were concerned for their safety, and around half said they had experienced physical violence like pushing, shoving, or being beaten. Over 60 percent had experienced psychological aggression or coercive control. - This breaks my heart. That is a horrific number of woman. My heart is so heavy…

I think it’s the very last point that says everything. United have taken full responsibility without being prompted. They’ve admitted fault. If THEY think they’ve fucked up, you can bet that’s the actual case.

I can’t believe that after all the shitty stunts pulled by airlines people are still assuming that the flight attendant was right, the mother with two children is wrong and that a puppy made no sounds that it was distressed after its carrier was placed in the wrong area.

They’re wrong the dog was in the right kind of carrier and the owner had paid to bring a dog on the flight. The flight attendant is just frazzled that her abuse of authority in making the owner put the dog in danger is going to get her in trouble.

Considering that this article is news aggregation more than reporting, I don’t even really blame people for getting the wrong idea—especially considering how weirdly inconsistent the ABC story is with literally every other report. But...

People: read the links in the story before you pass judgment. If you want a quick overview...

The owner and other passengers argued with the flight attendant about it. But the flight attendant assured them it was safe.

They did. Even the other passengers let the flight attendant know. They argued about it, and in the end they still told her to put the dog there and assured them that it’d be safe.  

I don’t know exactly what went down here, but how did this broad stick her puppy in the overhead bin and sit still in her seat for several hours without being like LET ME CHECK ON MY DOG?

I had no idea that the overhead bins were airtight tbh. I wouldn’t have complied because what? I paid for the dog flying with me and fuck that but I am blaming where blame is due United Airlines.

People saying this is partially the dog’s owner fault for complying with this absurd order of flight attendants has certainly not been following the news on what happens to people who doesn’t put up with abusive demands of power tripping air crews.

Remember that one time when Howard Dean enthusiastically yelled on stage?

I think the camel passed through the eye of that needle a long time ago. Nazis and pedophiles weren’t enough to stop them from supporting him, what’s a porn star? And it’s not like his wife gives a shit. Her payment was her pregnancy.

It’s a really insidious part of American culture how many families claim to have Native American heritage. It’s like it’s supposed to absolve these people of the tacit guilt we all share for the genocide of the Native American people.

Kennedy is responsible for three of the most important gay rights cases in US history. Had Bork been confirmed instead of him, gay sex and gay marriage would likely still be illegal.

Sorry, missed your quotes around “inappropriately.”

“She found herself instead with Mr. Khan, an acquaintance who had been pursuing her, who sat with her as she threw up several times and accompanied her back to her room afterward.”
