A must-read article by Justin Mazzola from the Huffington Post:

"Our nation’s best chance at progress is for professional teachers to shed light on its complicated past while empowering students to formulate their own fact-based opinions ― and politicians shouldn’t be standing in the way. Teaching our youth all of America’s triumphs and failures will empower them as adults to strive toward a more perfect union. A few of those kids may even end up with their photos alongside our past presidents. And if they ascend to leadership, they’ll be far more prepared than their predecessors to ensure our country is working for everyone."

Voters did not know what they were in for with a Trump presidency. We had fears, but no concrete evidence of how he would govern. DeSantis is an entirely different story. We have proof of how destructive he is and will be if elected.

I called my representative's office this morning to tell him how disappointed I was with his vote yesterday. I also asked if condoms would be next. They politely asked for my contact info. and thanked me. Hope I hear from him.

The images will be horrible. But, I think 2nd amendment zealots as well as the general public need to see them.

The media shows the happy school pictures of these precious children and the interviews of their devastated families, but not the reality of what these weapons have done. We as a country should be outraged! Words are forgotten; images are not.

From Texas Tribune:

Launched in June, a cross-border effort using buses and donated vaccines is helping roughly 2,000 Nuevo Laredo residents per day get COVID-19 shots in Laredo — 10% of Texas’ daily total.

When are WE going to say, "Enough is enough?" The Republican Party has lost the use of the badge GOP. The party consists of CRT deluded, anti-democracy, Putin supporting, grievance driven, non-critical thinking beings. A party that supports elected officials participating in a white nationalist conference and engages in the shameful questioning in the Supreme Court hearings has publicly confirmed the racist foundation of the party. (R)= Racist label has been earned. Make it stick. DU has the power to do so. I'll start: Ted Cruz (R)= Racist

This is under the flap of the envelope. Signature is also required, but always has been.
