I did a volunteer orientation to help settle refugees in my area. They get a $900 allowance per person - period. That’s it. To find somewhere to live (by necessity, on a bus line) in one of two towns with 4 colleges and universities between em (read: that’s not gonna cover rent for 2 months - the nonprofit has…

This this fucking a this.

It’s just that the concerns Trump voters were having weren’t actually “economic anxiety” but more “I want to feel superior to others.”

Ellison might not have the time to do it is the only valid concern I’ve seen. I’m not enamored of Dean but we could do worse, I guess. If Ellison, Gabbard, and Warren could somehow all share the responsibility I’d be pretty damn happy though.

Someone finally told him that it would be a really fucking horrible idea to throw young adults and pre-exisiting condition folks out on their ass with no health care?

You didn’t say anything about the quality of that running water. In related news, Flint isn’t fixed yet.

I did canvassing funded by a union group. Their outreach efforts were better than most of the Dems on the ground but a week before the fucking election I had people on my walk list with no data - they assumed they were voting Dem because of union or party affiliation.

From my FB today. the person who shared it is sincere.

You should try canvassing. Oh the things I hear, because I’m white (and asking about lower ticket candidates and hardly anyone knows if they’re Dem or Rep).

A partner of a close friend, who was very pro Sanders, then anti Hillary, is now posting shit like “Do the Clinton emails reveal a pedophilia ring in the Democratic party”

Dammit, conscience.

If you were serving before not necessarily.

HOW IN THE FUCK DO THESE PEOPLE KEEP FALLING UP?

Twice evolved pidgey w perfect moves is turning out to be a pretty damn good fighter for me. As long as you dodge it holds its own and then some with Snorlax and a few others.

I’ve gotten em very far from sea water (river that runs to the great lakes, though, I guess). They were far more common in the beginning of the game, though.

Thank you! I can hit play again in the notifications, but it gets irritating.

You can buy em too. I found that if you wait for mass evolving before you do em, you only need to cash a few gyms a day to get there.
