ETA Had to link from my phone it wasnt on the main site yet.
Mexico is planning to sue US gun manufacturers stating 'Mexican authorities believe U.S.-made weapons have fueled the explosive violence that has transformed parts of the country over the past decade. Around 2.5 million illicit American guns have poured across the border in that time period, according to a Mexican government study released last year. Legal gun sales in Mexico are tightly restricted.'
oooo I am here for this.

We really walked right up to the brink. If a few less folks in key positions had the absolute minimum level of morality we'd be completely (even more) fucked right now.

I got an email notifying me that postcard postage is going up four cents. Those of us who send lots of these for elections might want to pick up some forever stamps.

I haven't heard anything in our area. Other than some parent outrage earlier in the summer and the school district being all, we don't teach CRT anyways.

Defend Statues.Β Defund Education. Make it make sense. Oh thatβs right - we are supposed to learn history by looking at statues. Not by actually learning in a classroom.

There's a debate tonight between the Republican candidates for CA's recall election. I'm recording it but I'm not sure if I should watch, I'm surely risking a rage stroke if I do.

So IDT we talked about this, but the 2002 AUMF (Authorization for the Use of Military Force) was still being used and today, under Tim Kaine's leadership, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to end it. We will see what the full Senate does but there has been growing appetite in Congress to reclaim its war and military authorizing powers and it could actually happen. Inside baseball stuff, but with major potential implications.

And I shouldn't have to be, but things are so crazy and we all know Republicans turn out to vote like clockwork, especially when they have a grudge and Dems just don't ever seem to mobilize. Even though we'll be moving out of state in '22, I'm not okay with the GOP pulling this ish and succeeding.

I worry that Dems wonβt take the time to vote during this special election and the lack of turnout will swing the recall successful.
