@JobsEmmaculate is a scammer who is taking advantage of customers having issues with UPS. The email he is providing is fake. Ignore him.

@JobsEmmaculate This is a scam. I engaged to see if it was a real email and started getting intl phone calls telling me they checked and my package was lost *after* it was finally successfully delivered. You’re a scammer.

@UPS you lost (or stole) a package with medication sent from a pharmacy to my husband who is in cancer treatment. your app has been telling me it was on the truck since yesterday, but when I called you told me that it was lost (or stolen) in your facility. Medical lawsuit.

@UPS I had to have the lost package “returned” so it could be filled again. Now the new tracking number has not been properly logged as being in UPS’ hands for delivery tomorrow. I have messaged you the new tracking number. Risk of medical harm is increasing with your delays.

@UPS love that you don’t even respond. I’ve spent my entire day (as a cancer caregiver) trying to clean up your mess and get this medication. It’s delayed by 48 hours AND you are still charging the overnight fee for a package that didn’t arrive overnight

When unions are outlawed, only outlaws will have unions. Unions don't owe their existence to labor laws that protect organizing activities. 1/

@benwikler I don’t have info about your positions.Are you backing economic populism that is centered on the working class,centers ordinary ppl and taxes billionaires? because that’s the only Democratic Party that’s going to win. You can’t stay in bed with the neoliberal capitalists anymore.

The final days in DNC races can be a roller coaster. Things move fast. My campaign is right where it needs to be to finish at a majority.  DNC members—and Democrats across the country—are ready for a DNC that can Unite, Fight, and Win.  Let’s run through the tape.

And DNC members want to know that, for any candidate they might consider, there’s a real path to victory. They want to support a candidate who can win. As Election Day draws near, it’s becoming clear: this could be a very close race, and folks are breaking for us.

@paz_fey @mymanbpostin also: I see “ptsd” in your bio. it was a group of anti war Vietnam vet psychiatrists who fought a long and politicized battle to get ptsd into the dsm, destigmatize it & make treatment available. that work started in affinity groups/mutual aid. none of it is black & white.

@jessicacblank @mymanbpostin He saved the lives of those who did harm many

Reading up on the whole "Vietnam vets were treated badly" phenomenon and unsurprisingly, like a lot of American grievances, it's literally just a thing that Burgers half remembered seeing in a movie once and thought it was real (in this case Rambo)

@paz_fey @mymanbpostin he was a psychiatrist. he was drafted. and he sent everyone home who he could, and then spent his career helping people harmed by war. war hurts everyone.

This is how we will survive and thrive for the next 4 years. This is definitely worth a listen.

Neoliberalism is done. It’s either progressive populism — supporting single-payer healthcare, tuition-free college and trade schools, and raising the minimum wage — or watch the GOP continue to win long-term. Your move, Democratic Party.

@kalikkoenn late capitalism

the american descent into fascism really needs to be studied germany lost a world war, was humiliated, defanged and cut up by the treaty of versailles, and suffered an economic collapse to lead NSDAP to power what's the worst thing that happened to the US? trans people?

@PaulRieckhoff when are you running, and what are you running for? I mean it.

Today’s Hegseth hearing revealed the depth of how shattered, weak and leaderless the Democratic Party is right now. And why pinning our country’s future on them is doubling down on failure. They have no leader. And they have no strategy. In the Senate to stop Trump’s radical and ridiculous nominees—or anywhere else. They’re all over the place. And they lack a clear voice and vision to oppose Trump and protect America. And they will continue to get rolled by Trump until they do. Or until an alternative/alternatives emerge.  And in the meantime, our Democracy is dying by the day.  Do what you can personally. But please stop waiting for/hoping for/investing in this failed Democratic Party and its failed leaders. They’re not gonna save us. We need new strategies and tactics. And we need new leaders. Now. Before it’s really too late.

@shabbytigers @offbeatorbit that is good news. however it’s a ton of red tape to apply for and doesn’t appear to apply to illness.

@jessicacblank @offbeatorbit good news: there’s a disability exemption

This rhetoric will not work on me. Most working class New Yorkers are not driving into the city below 61st street to commute to work every day.

@offbeatorbit I think it could have been designed with some allowance for middle and low income folks who actually live in the city and have to drive. Folx with physical disabilities are another example.

@jessicacblank (I understand the emotional toll those commutes can be, for the record, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I just don't think that makes the toll unfair.)

@offbeatorbit @BigBaseballGuyy How and where?

@BigBaseballGuyy People who make under $50k a year can apply to get a discount.

THIS, ALL FUCKING DAY.
