Airlines are understaffed because of COVID.
Airline infrastructure is buckling due to climate change.
Travel chaos is a symptom of ignoring global crises.
We've been hit with white supremacist trolls today here on texasobserver.social, mostly targeting @TexasObserver. I've several more common nazi / 4chan-style instances to our blocklist.
Unfortunately, the #bookstadon group automatically boosted at least one of them as a side-effect of this wave because they'd been tagged into one of our toots. It definitely seems as though the fascists have noticed that the fediverse is growing more active and as a result so are they.

If it seems as if cases from Gov. Ron DeSantis’ election crimes office keep collapsing in court, it’s not your imagination.
@Lowie @Amishsupermodel I am not a tall fellow but when we married, standing face-to-face I would be looking at my wife’s eyebrows. Decades later I am looking her straight in the eyes. I am shrinking, she is not. And the other component of the BMI isn’t helping either!

Russian sausage magnate Pavel Antov posted on WhatsApp calling Russia’s missile attacks on Kyiv terrorism
He was later seen after falling from the third-floor window of a luxury hotel in India
Russia’s consul general in Calcutta said there was no foul play
This is what all right wingers want their country to be like.
Short rant.
Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.
Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.
End Rant.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
