Southwest Airlines is a company which spent $5.6 billion on stock buybacks for wealthy shareholders while the workers who keep the airline running work 16-18 hour days and passengers are stranded during the holiday season. Unacceptable.

Amount of fines and refunds to airline passengers announced by @USDOT in November as a result of “historic enforcement actions”:

Southwest: $0
Delta Airlines: $0
United Airlines: $0
American Airlines: $0

R-e-a-l aggressive. https://t.co/AdHRl4HuFO

🚨NEW: @SecretaryPete has delayed a consumer protection rule for 4+ months – now airline lobbyists are trying to water it down.

We’re submitting an official comment letter to his agency demanding he enact the rule.

@samswey Republicans have spent the past year blaming Democrats for rising murder rates. Yet more Americans die from Covid every 4 days as the total increase in murders reported last year. Scale of death fueled by GOP is astronomical, everything else a drop in the bucket by comparison.

I’ve had COVID 4 times. Twice last year despite lockdown. Wife was sick for 6 months. 2nd time damaged my vision and hearing. Vaccinated June. Had Delta in July anyway and sick again now from kids at school

Community Village‘s insight:

It’s easy for the U.S. to highlight how groups in other countries are not welcoming refugees – but have you heard the U.S. news speak about the U.S. welcoming refugees at all lately?

And the first comment on the NPR site is a good reminder to balance the message.
