Kristin Sverchek, general counsel at the rideshare app Lyft, tells the story of how the company decided to pay for all of their drivers’ legal fees who are sued under the TX abortion law and her feelings to the “overwhelmingly positive” reaction Lyft received for enacting this policy.

Good.
Rudy Giuliani: “If I start driving for Lyft will they also pay my legal fees? Because I can’t even get Donald to take my calls anymore.” 🤣
Hard earned grift money. 🤣
The best comment – to lift mood is OK even when this comment is far from the subject of hateful-misogynism-in-texas.
I just real life LOLed!! Thank you so much for this comment!! 🙂
Nicholle”s lighting is more mellow today. The ulracapacity of her sultrasagacity is in full regalia…By the way, that’s “community” guidelines, Nicholle.
Texas just costed Republicans the midterms BIG TIME
Uhhhh lol
I bloody hope so
Only an INSANE person, or a deplorable one, could vote Republican, and still support the Grifter In Chief
Blue wave on the way…..
Very true. Statistically, the majority of voters in America are women. Well, women don’t like it when a bunch of crusty old men write laws that seek to dominate and control young women. So you can bet that the women’s vote will go HEAVILY against the Republicans in future elections.
Funniest part is it will probably never happen lol
THANK YOU!!!
That’s just the beginning. It’s Inevitable that a bunch of Y’allibans will get together and file class action lawsuits against Lyft, Uber and any other ride share company taking Texas women to abortion clinics.
Nobody’s constitutional rights should be put on sale for purchase by anyone who can find an informant to turn in whoever might be trying to exercise those rights.
worse its not even the deed itself its the INTENT to get one or aid in getting one. So if you say I want an abortion but dont get one you can still be sued. Thought police anyone?!
No on prop 22
Lawyers are about to be ultra rich…..they are probably in cahoots with the MAGATS…..It’s always about the money with MAGATS
They should give 10,000 bounty to turn in rapists and domestic abusers.
Yeah, wheres Congressman Matt Gaetz?? Or what about fat faced autocrat Trump?! I could use $10,000!
How do I turn them in?
Unfortunately rich lying predators can do whatever they want, they are above the law! There’s no justice in America
There’s already nonprofit group who will fund and fight for any pregnant women or organizatiosn who are sued under this Texas law. Bring it on Texas.
Noo on prop 22
Big mistake to mess with women……..law will be overturned before midterms.
This is all to deflect the attention from the insurrection.
Never forget: “Stand back, stand by.”
“Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the R congressmen”
By the way, CocaCola is not interested in helping women. Hello Pepsi!
The only privacy a woman has now is when she votes. No one has to see who she votes for on her ballot.
Unless the GOP have something planned for that scenario.
You can’t sue an Uber driver because of where a passenger is coming from or going to… Im a driver….I’m sure I’ve probably taken a crack head to a drug deal but that’s not my responsibility
Thank you.
Keep Religion Out of America’s Politics, Laws and Especially Schools!
So glad I moved to California from Texas!
Support companies that act the way you like them to.
“Cancel,” those who do not.
*VOTE 2022*
Living and trying to thrive in Tx during these scary times is unbelievable and unacceptable. My granddaughters are of age now where this could deeply affect them. I pray for justice. I pray for the rights of a woman to do what she feels is right with her own body.
Another b-s to get drivers back. drivers have no control over where pax are going either way.
