I’ve been kinda head in sand since yesterday but wanted to come in and say I hope all our Texas people are safe. Also a close friend witnessed a shooting a block away from her house this morning. She’s a mess. She’s one of the most sweet naive in a good way person and is still trying to process. We have to do more. I'm so sorry to her. Nobody should have to witness gun violence from their front yard. Nobody.

It would be fun to laugh at these idiots if they weren't causing such harm

So 8 new laws loosening gun laws went into effect today in Texas.
A 17 month old has to have surgery to remove shrapnel from her body.
But the answer is obviously to have more guns
Fuck

I just wanted to share this because I followed it real time in my progressive Nebraska group. It is such an ugly look at the deep red and it made my heart hurt and despite what I’ve said before, I don’t know how to reach *this* part of the state. 😞 medium.com/@ferialp/deceit-wrapped-in-kindness-3498de1dec55 there's a man on one of the main drags in my city that has signs that say "Muslims and Democrats are ruining our country" or something of the like. And "Trump elected to save country". It's on one of my running routes and it's enraging. I routinely flip it off.

We also still have Hillary for Prison signs up around these parts, and a GD billboard of Trump on the highway.

iruntodrink, which part of Northern MI are you in? I shall (no offense to you meant) endeavor to avoid. My sister is a yooper and I already avoid her area.

Ls2012, no offense taken. NW side of the Lower Peninsula. You should avoid anything north of Grand Rapids. LOL Except for the shoreline, because the beauty is a good distraction. I lived in GR for 16 years and wouldn't have come up here, but DH wanted to raise our kids in his hometown, so here I am.

I mean we're talking about 180 mph SUSTAINED winds. Not gusts. That's like a four hour tornado that doesn't move.
