Meet Pepper, a 10 week old girl black Labrador Retriever who is in training to become a guide dog. She's a joy that we have for a little more than a year before she goes back to school.

We named her (first time!) Pepper after Pepper Potts because she's going to be someone's amazing support and guide.

Pepper is a puppy in training for Dogs Inc, they place and support their dogs at no cost to their recipients.

#DOJ finally files #ADA accomodation case in #SanFrancisco against #Uber that most govt entities have ignored and sat on for well over a decade...

In the complaint, the US Dept. of Justice
claimed that Uber drivers “routinely refuse to serve individuals with disabilities, including individuals who travel with #ServiceAnimals or who use stowable #Wheelchairs."

The complaint also alleged that drivers oft
“insult and demean people with disabilities or ask them inappropriate questions.”

Travis Kalanick debuted so-called #rideshare car & limo service in San Francisco in 2010 claiming it was "revolutionary" idea and unlike regulated #taxis, the #WallStUnicorn has never been in compliance with #disability accomodations since, yet finally gets challenged in 2025 under #Drumpf administration enforcement effort...

Perhaps some #DJT #baksheesh will be forthcoming.to forestall case?

The US government sued Uber on Thursday in a San Francisco district court alleging they discriminate against people with disabilities.

In the complaint, the Dept. of Justice
claimed that Uber and its drivers “routinely refuse to serve individuals with disabilities, including individuals who travel with service animals or who use stowable wheelchairs."

The complaint also alleged that drivers
“insult and demean people with disabilities or ask them inappropriate questions.”

"US sues Uber, alleges discrimination against disabled riders"

reuters.com/sustainability/soc

"… Uber drivers routinely refuse to serve riders with disabilities, including people who travel with service animals or stowable wheelchairs."

"[Uber drivers] illegally charge cleaning fees for service animals, and cancellation fees to riders who are denied service."

US employees everywhere:
Would you like to
- be named in a Federal law suit
- place your employer in an expensive, and embarrassing position?

Just follow this untrained, unthinking, doofus' lead.

#ServiceAnimals are fine.

Also I learned that you can have #horses and #pigs as #ServiceAnimals. One picture showed a dressed up horse with shoes and I'm curious if this is a thing for owners of such animals?

Search for "horse service animal" and you'll find a horse in a plane completely dressed up, which I find odd. Is this for better visibility, or personal preference?

Businesses that unlawfully prohibit customers with #serviceAnimals need to be named and shamed, because they clearly believe they don't have to abide by the law, and there won't be any consequences for this #discrimination. We should bring the consequences to their front door. If you're one of these businesses, understand that the law is clear, and you have no right to prevent these animals from entering your premises. First comes public shame, next come the lawsuits.

@juliewebgirl Oh fine.

Seriously everyone, Do No Approach a Service Animal! And for fuck's sake don't do it without speaking to it's handler. Really.

Chihuahua to Temple Dog...no matter how adoring those eyes, if you are not friends with that dog's Human, you
and that dog are Not friends.

Other fun facts:
1. If a Great Dane growls at you? Huh.
2. Don't make them smother you with Dane Lipps, and slobber. Bad way to go.
