Holy hell, this is a thing! Looks like I could get $107 back from somewhere in DC and also CenturyLink. But what documentation will be required?? Do I still have invoices from CenturyLink? I do not.
PSA: does everyone know about the unclaimed funds thing? It seems like each state has a website where you can look for unclaimed funds, like checks you forgot to cash or whatever. I just got $2,000 back, spread across 5 different separate checks and 2 states.

Sorry. I have a pronunciation problem. Is it “Cruella”? Is that his name?
After getting pardoned by Trump, does reinstating a corrupt Democrat into a position of power help the Dem brand? Does it make it easier for us to convince Americans to reject this corrupt regime? Does it make it more likely for us to defeat the Republicans? punchbowl.news/article/hous...

Great article on the improving potential for a grocery co-op in Fifeville. I wanted to donate to help their chances a tiny bit so I found their site: secure.actblue.com/donate/cvill.... Crossing my fingers this actually happens!

Fifeville moves one big step closer to having a community-owned grocery store, and it wants the city's help
Plans are moving ahead for a mixed-use development in Fifeville that will include a grocery co-op and low-cost housing, but residents need city funding to get the project to the finish line.

I’m running for Congress in Virginia’s 5th District because families and workers deserve a fair shot. Costs keep rising while salaries aren’t - and MAGA Republicans are cutting food & health care to fund corporate tax breaks instead of defending Virginia’s families.

I’m at the airport in San Jose, CA. The line for Volaris Airline to points south is not just mobbed… it’s insane. It lapped 4 times right into the rest of the lobby. I actually thought it was the TSA line. Please tell me this is for holiday travel & not people fleeing this country.

If Virginia Democrats follow through with a new 10-1 congressional map and a couple of other Dem states make small changes, Trump's gambit to rig the 2026 maps will be remembered as an epic blunder.

I once asked a Russian what the feeling was in Russia about her government.
Her answer wasn't anger; it was apathy.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

More than Amazon, Target, and Home Depot... boycott all corporations run by billionaires. And even after this special holiday weekend action, keep your money local.
This holiday season, we’re saying it loud and clear: We Ain’t Buying It.
For too long, corporations have profited off of us. From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re taking action with our wallets to demand accountability.

Sorry you feel like you're screaming into the void. Egregious election losses due to GOP & corporate pillaging during the campaigns have beaten us down. So the fact that Mamdani, unlike his predecessors, refused PAC money & energized a base of volunteers who helped elect him, is delightful to us.
"Mamdani barely earns majority of votes in worst performance by a Democratic mayoral candidate since '09"
