Withholding support from corporations enabling the Trump regime is a powerful way to fight authoritarianism. Supporting the organizations who do fight back hard and organize others to fight is just as important. If you can, pitch in to power your friendly pro-democracy organizers at Indivisible.

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.
Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

My household clears the lint trap every load but this book made me finally clean the whole exhaust pipe. If you own your place, it’s should be pretty easy to do and you can get the brush for like $20.
::waggles eyebrows::
fwiw, I caught a dryer fire once - before it had a chance to get out of hand. I was babysitting my little brother, who was playing outside…when I saw smoke pouring out of an open window.
for real tho, yes: *clear out your lint filter every time you dry a load*

1) "Just one more chapter, then I'll turn in" is totally a thing, and

These should be the Dems' talking points going into the mid terms.
To recap:
•Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually
•Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses
•The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45%

This is also why universal basic income is such a good idea. Not only would it save money on the high costs of poverty, but it would grow GDP and reduce the costs of healthcare by reducing stress and improving physical and mental health.
