✈️ Imagine boarding a flight and settling into the seat you carefully selected and paid extra for, just to enjoy the view from the window. Minutes later, a mother with her crying child approaches and asks you to switch seats with the child. She's about to plead, as if giving in were your obligation.
You're about to get up, because you were raised to be kind. But then you remember: you've been enduring the child's constant crying for several minutes. You stop and think:
"Why should someone else have to put up with the tantrums of a child who barely knows me? Why give up what I worked hard to get just because?"
So you calmly reply:
"I'm sorry, I'd rather not move."
That's what Jennifer, a passenger on a flight in Brazil, did. She refused to give up her seat and was filmed without her consent by the boy's mother, who accused her of lacking empathy:
"I'm filming your face because it's disgusting that in the 21st century you have no empathy for a child."
Jennifer didn't insult anyone. She didn't react with anger. But the media exposure cost her dearly: she went viral, was publicly shamed, all for saying "no" to something that wasn't her responsibility.
Today, months later, Jennifer has decided to take action. She has sued the mother for defamation and emotional distress, and also the airline for failing to defend her against the harassment or intervene as they should have. According to her, the flight attendants even asked her to give in to the child's tantrum, which she considers inappropriate and unprofessional.
Jennifer isn't seeking revenge. She's seeking respect. She's seeking to set boundaries. Because saying no is also a right.
And this time, she might just win against the system that abandoned her.
What do you think? Did he defend himself justifiably? Or do you think he overreacted?

@mehdirhasan Their questions are stupid and they know he's going to give them a stupid response but that's what they want so idiots like you can attack his rhetoric and push your bias response.

When did we normalize this? When did it become okay for a president to tell a female reporter she’s a ‘dumb person’ for asking a totally legitimate question about his contradictory answers? Was there a specific date and time it become okay? Normal? Normalized?

@TomOdell @SuzanneHMills @RealJackHibbs I'm not for abortion. Look at the video did he say he supports abortion.

Tom Odell@TomOdell
I've seen and run into political shills who deny that #SteveHilton (real name Stevie Hircsak) is pro abortion and pro sodomy. This video puts that totally to rest. And make sure to pay special attention to the part where Hilton/Hircsak lies to a Christian congregation and denies being pro abortion. California deserves better than having a bald-faced liar on the ballot.

BREAKING — California, listen up.
CAIR Action — the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the same organization currently under federal scrutiny — has just endorsed Tom Steyer for Governor of California.
That should be all you need to know.
Imams will tell their people in mosques across the state to register and vote for Steyer. They will turn out. The question is: will Christians?
My ballot:
Governor — Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx
Lieutenant Governor — Gloria Romero @GloriaJRomero
Attorney General — Michael Gates @MichaelGatesESQ
State Controller — Herb Morgan @Herb4Controller

@bungarsargon Giving them money, patting them on the back and whispering in their ear like having a hearing test saying JUST DON'T MAKE nuclear bombs. Iran's response, the dope we're sending to America is working continue operation ear loss.

@SuzanneHMills @RealJackHibbs He didn't say he's for abortion. He's talking about Republicans putting more focus on abortion then other areas that needs attention too and he said it INFLATION, CRIME AND BIDENS OPEN BORDER CRISIS. Total package is what's his talking about not just one subject.

How can you support Steve Hilton and Gloria Romero when you’ve been telling us for years to vote biblically. We love you, but you’re not following your own words to the body of Christ. They both believe in the “right” to abortion. I will send you (and have sent Gina Gleason) their clear statements. Adding on that we should lead California more towards life has not changed their position. This is heartbreaking for us to hear from you. 😔

@fourthjames83 @JesusSaves1500 Well their are three types of believers in following the path of Jesus pick one, TRUE BELIEVER, non believer or make believer we don't push it on you, you have a choice. PICK ONE.

@JesusSaves1500 Why do all Christians act like this? Your life experience has absolutely no bearing on my life, my choices or my future. In fact, you kind of repulse me.

This is my mother on my wedding day. Look at how much she loved me. My life meant more to her than the trauma of the rape that produced me. She told me that the minute she held me after I was born, the trauma was gone forever and replaced by the love she felt for me. We went on to give her 2 granddaughters and 3 great grandsons. Her love left a legacy of a continuing family. Please don't abort your future happiness. No baby deserves a death sentence.

@femalebodybuil6 Maybe they want jam not vasseline with peanut butter.

@simonateba Nope it was justified. If they weren't there they would be alive. Who drops their children off to school and goes to a protest to harass federal agents for doing their job.

@simonateba Tell your friends abc,cbs,nbc and the rest of your media pals, their the one that runs the headlines to the people. Hate Trump rhetoric is what they put out.

BREAKING: 45 Americans shot dead and 113 shot and wounded in 144 separate shooting incidents across the US in the past 72 hours as many express outrage over one shooting near the White House Correspondents Dinner:
At least 45 people shot dead, While outrage floods Washington over one shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the numbers tell a different story: across the United States, 45 people were killed and over 100 wounded in just 72 hours, according to the Gun Violence Archive, as reviewed by The Daily Letter.
Even in Washington itself, multiple killings have unfolded in recent days—largely unnoticed—highlighting a brutal contradiction: what shocks the political class for a night is what much of America lives with every day

@Strandjunker They came through the legal process not the illegal process.

When Jesus sat with sinners, it was the Father sitting with them. When Jesus touched the unclean, it was the Father reaching first. When Jesus wept, it was the Father grieving with humanity. Nothing in Jesus was accidental. He was the exact expression of God’s heart.
The cross was not the moment God decided to love us. The cross was the moment God proved He always had.

@Matt_Pinner Obviously she loves someone else or she wouldn't have been unfaithful. She wants to be free, give it up let her go.

@TrumpsHurricane That's just the way it is, some things will never change. GET A JOB.

BE brutally HONEST here
WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON???
Is this guy in this picture OK with you??
Someone’s story: “To my neighbor who thinks mowing the lawn SHIRTLESS in a family neighborhood is totally normal. I've already contacted the authorities.
This isn't a beach. It's not a gym. It's a residential street where families live and kids are outside all the time. I don't care if it's 90 degrees out - PUT A SHIRT ON!
Basic standards and common courtesy still exist for a reason.
Broad daylight. Front yard. Acting like this is completely acceptable behavior”
Then he asks: “Am I crazy for thinking there should be at least some level of decency in shared spaces, or are we just throwing social norms out the window now? your thoughts?”
