The DOT also reportedly plans to rescind requirements that airlines disclose junk fees. It's also planning to redefine what flight cancellations would require refunds for passengers.
Both Delta and United gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund.

Shame needs to make a roaring comeback. Not just shame, but "you have dishonored me/my family/my little dog" posturing followed by aggressive immediate teeth-inna-gutter consequences.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Return the Black Hills to native people. Other places would also be good, don’t get me wrong, but there is so much mineral wealth in the Black Hills that deserves infinitely better stewardship and isn’t gonna get it as long as mining companies can just walk onto public land.

I do agree that Bluesky massively needs to improve how it notifies people about suspensions - it needs to be 100% clear what it was for, and how long the suspension will last.
