Municipal high-speed broadband has energized municipal areas such a Chattanooga. Albuquerque was on the verge of developing this resource when Comcast backed Mayor Berry and all efforts were cancelled. Establishing speeds of gigabit and 100 gigabit speeds has helped to revitalize the economies that have adopted it around the world. We need to develop this in Albuquerque.

AT&T has admitted to paying more than $1 million to the shell company controlled by Trump attorney and “fixer” Michael Cohen. AT&T's shareholders have been asking the company for five years to be honest about the extent of its lobbying, but the company has opposed disclosure at every turn. Corporate reputation is an important component of shareholder value. Without transparency, corporate lobbying can present reputational risk that harms shareholder value. In the case of AT&T and its hidden payments, AT&T management is getting a crash course in what happens when you try to influence politics in secret. To prevent further harm to the company and promote transparency in our democracy, AT&T must fully disclose all of its lobbying information.

My name is Rebecca. I have an 80 plus-year-old mother who has Congestive Heart Failure, COPD, among many other things that ail her. So in her 50+ years being a consumer of Ameren/Union Electric, there has only been one time that she has been disconnected, and mind you that the time prior to that, her electricity had gone off for hours on end, with no explanation as to why, yet no adjustments have been made pertaining to these unexplained instances. They have also disconnected my mother after she made her payment - the very morning after she posted, leaving her in a state of distress and panic. So due to their incompetence, they now send my mother, who has all these health ailments, after getting her bill to a balance of $67.00 along with the $30.00 reconnection fee she owes, Ameren wants an additional charge deposit for $65.00 extra for 3 months and they said they will give it back plus interest if she goes a full 12 months with no late bills and no disconnections. I also forgot to mention how they said they would provide us with a medical packet for her and her physician/cardiologist to fill out, but those weren't sent to her. Instead, they add more funds in the hottest months of the year. She is a long time consumer and what type of loyalty do they show her, adding extra money she doesn't have on to her bill. She pays for her medicine out-of-pocket and has been all her life. Please join me in this regard that neither our senior citizens nor our children should be held liable for these deposits, and also please keep in mind that one of their conditions is if you file bankruptcy. I'm sorry but help me understand; doesn't that mean you don't have the extra funds to pay an extra deposit over three months for electricity you are already paying for along with taxes? Please sign, as this is unjustified to do to new couples moving in a home, senior citizens who have to pay out of pocket for expensive medication and bills, and for the rest of our fellow Missourians. Thank you for reading and God bless you all. Let's show these high corporate offices that we already pay enough for our utilities. We don't need this, nor can the salary some of us make afford this.

A recent Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) investigation at one of the largest dog research facilities in the world found thousands of puppies confined in solitary wire cages, sleeping on their own filth, and going insane from isolation. Julie, a blind puppy I rescued from Ridglan, was one of the dogs who would have been sent to her death in a horrifying experiment. We rescued her, but thousands of crying dogs were left behind. Americans don’t want our tax dollars used on wasteful and unethical practices, and we’re asking the federal government to do for dogs what it has already done for chimps: end the abusive experiments.

Facebook spies on us almost everywhere we go on the Internet. It even tracks where we move and what we do in the real world. This shouldn’t be a surprise. From the start, Mark Zuckerberg said he built Facebook not to keep people connected but to "get access to information about anyone." Facebook then sells that information to corporations and bad actors that want to trick us into buying things we don’t want, even to voting in ways we never intended. That’s their business model. That’s how they make so much money. Zuckerberg now says he wants to "do more to keep us safe” from surveillance and exploitation. But Facebook and Facebook-owned Instagram are not living up to this promise. They could give us a “one-click” option to escape the targeting that’s at the heart of their manipulation machine. Instead, they hide their privacy controls in a hall of mirrors that makes it almost impossible to protect our families and communities. Tell Mark Zuckerberg to make it simple for us to protect ourselves from manipulators and scammers. Sign the petition: “Mark, we won't be your product any longer. Facebook must give us the choice to turn off targeting with one click.”

This petition is about 'The Last Man On Earth' that has been canceled for a season 5.

Listen to me. I wanna be clear on something. I'm done with Waffle House. I know many other people including Bernice King—CEO of The King Center and MLK Jr.'s daughter—who are sickened by the attacks against Black folks. Chikesia Clemons had the police called on her in Alabama. When they showed up they threatened to break her arm, exposed her breasts, and grabbed her by the throat. A police officer grabbed Anthony Wall by the throat in North Carolina. Anthony was on his way home from prom where he'd accompanied his young sister. This is just a glimpse into multiple incidents of racial discrimination at Waffle House. Something's very wrong there, and we must not support such a business. Join us. Sign the petition. #BoycottWaffleHouse

AT&T and the giant pharmaceutical corporation Novartis have admitted paying more than $1 million to the shell company controlled by Trump attorney and “fixer” Michael Cohen. The payments went to the same shell company Cohen used to make hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. The best-case story for the companies is that they were incredibly stupid and willing to enter into a sleazy deal that failed. The worst-case scenarios raise questions about whether the funds sent to the shell company were outright bribes. There's only one way to find out: They must disclose their legal agreements so we can know what services they hoped to obtain from Cohen's operation, and what services were in fact provided.

I'm a homeowner in Rustica Oaks. I've been here since the very beginning- we were the second people to build a house from the ground up. We need to force Towne Properties to make this community pool what we deserve! It is now or never since the pool is still under warranty. We have rights, and let's assert them!

A 122 room hotel is planned to be built behind Walgreen's at Coconut Creek Parkway and Lyons Road.

To raise ROBLOX awareness of how many people she has helped in the community and how friendly this account is, and how she deserves her account back.

Following an investigation released last November which garnered national media attention, six activists with Direct Action Everywhere now face ten years in prison. Sanpete County, Utah County District Attorney Kevin Daniels filed felony burglary and theft charges Thursday, claiming, “They came here to Sanpete County and entered into turkey shed buildings belonging to turkey farmers in this area and essentially turkey-napped turkeys.” Taking sick animals to the vet isn’t burglary, it isn’t a felony, or “turkey-napping”--it’s what any decent person would do. The industry isn’t concerned about a missing injured bird, who they would’ve thrown in the trash like they do millions of others every year. They’re concerned about exposure. They know that when ordinary people see animals being hurt, they’re outraged. And that outrage is bad for their bottom line. We demand that Mr. Daniels represent the interests of ordinary, compassionate people, not violent corporations. That whistleblowers and animal rescuers be respected and protected, not repressed and prosecuted. Compassion is not a crime!
