Dear Verizon, If you are trying to be more customer friendly, maybe don’t use “digital onboarding” in an email to convince me that you’ve made changes for me!

Here’s a good listen from a couple of wise women all Dem leaders should be listening to. I’m a former ND farm girl living in small town rural GA and totally agree with their discussion.
If you listen to podcasts, I'd be honored if you put this one on your rotation today. I spoke to Former North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp on knocking rural doors and having conversations with folks who may not have heard a Democratic message in decades.

I was in hospital for cancer surgery. Hubby got sick and came to ER. He tested Covid+. I asked to be tested - yup, +. When I came home I decided to try expired home tests from 22-24. Seven + tests and finally today - a negative. One down, one to go!

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down.
The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape.
Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.
