I'm a disabled trans woman with cerebral palsy. I can't walk and can't work. We found me an apartment. I'm days away from getting out of this hotel, but if I can't cover move-in and the hotel bill lose it and end up on the street. Please help if you can

So this is what electing a democratic socialist mayor can get you: corporations issuing groveling apologies for underpaying their workers
Since 2023, more than 200,000 Dashers in New York City were underpaid or paid late under the City’s delivery worker pay rules. These errors were unintentional, but that doesn’t make them acceptable. Dashers should be paid in full, on time, every time. We take full responsibility, and we’re deeply sorry.
We’ve reached a $131.5 million settlement with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Every impacted Dasher will receive the amount they are owed, and they’ll be contacted directly with payment details.
We understand the impact of even one missed or late payment. We’ve addressed the issues that caused these errors and made changes to prevent them from happening again.

The City of New York asserts this was not a mistake.
“For years, DoorDash failed to count every hour worked by delivery workers,” Mayor Mamdani said. “This was not a rounding error or an accidental mistake.“

i don’t think there would be this many charlie kirk memes if the antiwoke crowd and kirk himself didn’t make dominating virtually every marginalized group their core identity & then the admin + msm demanded reverence & fealty after the guy who said “school shootings are a price i’m willing to pay to preserve 2a” was killed in the 46th school shooting in 2025. we live in a violent country led by hypocritical monsters.

I haven't been able to eat, and I often throw up due to lack of food and my brother has been repeatedly assaulted by a hotel guest who was beating his girlfriend. We're out of money, it's unsafe, and we still haven't found accessible housing. Please help

Too many demotivated Democrats stayed home in 2016 and 2024. We can’t repeat past mistakes. In this upcoming election, we need to:
Quit calling @BernieSanders an “antisemite.”
Stop wasting time attacking Hasan Piker instead of Trump’s robber baron corruption.
Don't put Israel hawks out of touch with our voters in charge of our Middle East policy.
It is time for a reckoning: are we a party that represents corporate interests and super PACs, or will we represent the American people?

AIPAC is now spending 8x as much as Abdul El-Sayed's entire campaign on the MI Senate primary.
This race is not between Abdul and Haley Stevens. It is Abdul vs. AIPAC.
A billionaire-funded Super PAC shouldn't determine American elections or foreign policy. Let's support Abdul.

This is unconscionable. Anybody with eyes and a heart knows the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza. It has to end, and we as Americans have the power to end it.
When I'm in the U.S. Senate, I’ll never vote in favor of US taxpayer-funded military aid to Israel.
A Palestinian aid worker who organized World Cup watch parties across the Gaza Strip was killed in an Israeli missile strike shortly before soccer fans gathered to watch the Egypt-Argentina game on Tuesday evening, according to a local hospital director. cbsn.ws/4gvb469
