@SweetandSalty On the desktop CoSo interface, go all the way to the right column where you see the thermometer that shows the current funding level. Beneath the thermometer, there is a green link that says "Help us?" Click on that and it will take you to some options. I don't know how to do it on the app. Can anyone #help?
Hey, guys! Pick up the pace! We haven't funded ourselves for December yet, and we've only got 4 days left! Going Pro is totally worth it. Or if you can't swing that, some change into the kitty would help, too. So happy to be here with my #Cosofriends
Do voters really have to be the only HR department in government?
New York congressman-elect admits lying about college and work history

@see_the_sus The problem is that the US doesn’t have a healthcare *system.* The US has a web of profit-making companies in which patients, doctors, and other medical professionals are ensnared. This spiderweb purports to provide “health care” but its real function it to capture little bugs (i., e., sick people) and squeeze money out for as long as possible.
Too cynical?
@SocialistKitty OMG not just a funny story— but a contribution to the historical record!
Gotta know your Mexican Spanish slang to keep up. (I know a lot, I used to work in a restaurant.) 😉
Thanks for the thread(s)!
@see_the_sus I feel for you. My partner is playing the 3 card monte game with CVS right now with his prescriptions. Where are they? Maybe here, maybe there. Good luck with your phone calls. Notice how the administrative burden is always on the patient?
Hope your situation is resolved quickly.
@DaisyMcDuck Sad that Alan Rickman has passed. He was an amazing actor!
@DaisyMcDuck Maybe you’re the plucky comic relief?

A warning: Just because this generation of right-wing judges has been reluctant to simply assign wins to Republicans regardless of what the voters say does *not* mean that, in the future, the Federalist Society (or its post-TFG equivalent) won't recruit more Aileen Cannons who are willing to do just that. Remember it took 50 years for them to put enough extremist judges in the pipeline to overturn Roe v. Wade. They could do that again.
@TheNewsOwl if anyone is moved to donate to support the efforts to care for these people being abandoned in freezing cold, there’s a gofundme.

Okay, this one goes out to all of you that remember these holidays, along with that secret smile for all those who have yet to experience it.
Just in on this Christmas Eve- Two busloads of migrants (approximately 50 people) were dropped off in front of @Vp residence in 18° weather around 8p two sources tell me. 50 more migrants expected later tonight. Unclear at this time where they came from or who sent the group
@th3j35t3r Wishing you the best. Thanks for the presents!
