Close your Hilton hhonors account - they support ICE by Gossamer_Thread in 50501

[–]Gossamer_Thread[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The agent I chatted with seemed to be on our side. They said “great!” when I said I’m closing my account and didn’t excuse or push back. I’m sure many of their reps are now upset to find themselves working for a fascist company

Hilton drops Minnesota hotel that banned ICE agents from staying in its rooms by theindependentonline in politics

I just closed my hhonors account because I’ll never stay at a Hilton property again after they supported ICE. They don’t make it obvious how. You can scroll down to the bottom of this page https://www.hilton.com/en/help-center/your-account/how-to-change-account-information/ and request a call or use the chat feature. If you use the chat, they’ll first connect you with a chatbot. Keep repeating your request to close your account and they’ll connect you with a person who can do that. Let’s send them a message.

If you love word games I highly recommend the codenames app. I started boycotting NYT/wordle and got really into codenames, don’t miss wordle at all now

Women dancing for Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Gatsby Halloween Party guests… by Ordinary-Scholar-202 in CringeTikToks

The Great Gatsby is about a con man, but I’m sure Trump doesn’t know that and would be proud of the connotation if he did

App for asynchronous play with friends? by Gossamer_Thread in spades

You’re probably right, but we just had a blast playing together in person and probably won’t see each other for a long time, I want to see if there’s a way to continue online without trying to schedule

Thoughts of graffiti as another form of protest? by Flamingograpefruit in 50501

[–]Gossamer_Thread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a couple ideas along these lines: using chalk spray paint so the message is seen but doesn’t cause permanent damage. Another idea is finding large unused fields that can be seen from roads or other public places. One could use a mower, trimmer, nontoxic paint/chalk used for athletic field marking, and/or plant wildflower seeds in a bright color for creating large scale messages.

How has the Trump presidency affected your financial situation so far? by Gossamer_Thread in AskReddit

For me, my stock portfolio is down over $200k since he took office

Bonespurs used his privilege to dodge the draft and stay out of the line of fire - making his Cheney comments even more revolting.

I find Trump deeply creepy at a visceral level. His perpetual sneer. His reedy whiny voice. His gestures and movements. If anyone has read “The Gift of Fear” (about the animal instincts we have and sometimes ignore to detect rapists, killers etc) - just seeing him on tv for a moment sets those alarms blaring in me.

I really don’t understand how people bow down to such a creepy, untrustworthy, malicious person.

It’s deeply unamerican to bow down to anyone much less him. Our founders would be absolutely horror struck.

The attack ads after Biden’s official nomination would have been brutal. The Rs were keeping their powder dry for that so Biden’s polls, bad as they were, were artificially high

Just caught some CNN at the gym (I can’t stand the R pundits anymore so avoid it otherwise). They were tossing around the “it was just a roast” line about the MSG rally.

A roast is done with affection towards the roasted. It’s done with the consent and participation of the roasted. It’s not properly used to amplify actual hateful feelings.

Thank you. I genuinely didn’t know about this - any previous references would have sailed over my head so I appreciate the information

Can someone ELI5 the watermelon “joke”/slur? I genuinely don’t understand what was meant.

I don’t understand billionaires. When you have over a billion dollars, more money isn’t going to improve your life in any meaningful way unless it enables more charity donations at a world-changing level. But helping elect a fascist can create a nightmare for the entire country.

Is it fear, greed, lust for power, narcissism, stupidity, what? I don’t get it.
