Delta Airlines charging me for my bag? That's obnoxious.
Delta Airlines charging me to book a seat? That's obnoxious.
But Delta Airlines working with ICE to ship people to concentration camps is COLLABORATION.

I loved my internship with the MS AG.
I created their consumer protection awareness month in 2006.
So important that citizens know their rights and who protects them.

Today I had the pleasure of teaching the Consumer Law in Action class at the University of Vermont. These students will learn the ins and outs of Vermont’s Consumer Protection Act while supporting my office’s Consumer Assistance Program and putting the law into action on behalf of Vermonters.

Today Trump's man Mullin threatened to imprison anyone who disobeys his boss, so maybe it's time for American journalism to stop thinking Congress has *anything* to do with what's about to happen in—and to—America, as it's likely to be whatever The Madness of King Donald decides?

Ignorance is a warning sign to stay away from uneducated men.
I think he may mean venomous, as in injecting a toxin. Poisonous means the toxin is harmful if licked, eaten, or inhaled and I can personally attest women who color their hair are delicious

You can power a data center using distilled salt water. The current results include severe damages from the heat it generates. This needing non corrosive water to keep it cool. This is why they are so destructive on land. If someone is going to find ecological balance it’s a student.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Thought for today
Still no cooperation from the building owners.
My depression is getting more and more intense every day.
I’m struggling with thoughts that I’m worthless OR I’m to blame.
I get told people are tired of hearing about my problems. I’M NOT CAUSING THE PROBLEMS!
I’m at the end of my rope!

We’re struggling at the moment because of a terrible fall I took on May 1st. We could use tons of shares. We only need rent, utilities, and insurance. Anything more will help us buy food and gas.

Happy Birthday, James Meredith! #OTD in 1962, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered his admission, the 1st known Black student to Ole Miss. Four years later, he started his one-man March Against Fear, only to be shot by a white supremacist. Civil rights leaders joined him in finishing the march.
