Another school shooting.
This time, at Brown.
Tonight, families join the ranks of Minneapolis, Oxford, MSU, Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Parkland, Santa Fe, Nashville, Austin, Roseburg, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Tallahassee...

When it comes to immigration, the mainstream Democratic position still accepts as true many lies told by Republicans about immigrants. The Democrats do good but must do better.

OTD in 1978 USSR & Afghanistan signed a "friendship treaty". We invaded them a year later.

California has a huge solar power problem. A fix is coming.
The state's glut of solar power is about to become far, far easier to sell.

Tonight I went back to Joseph A Banks, first time in 25 years since the salesman swore up and down that my email would only be used to notify me that the alterations were done. Liar. I tried many times to unsubscribe, and swore never to return.
Maybe I forgave to quickly.
