Hey. You know how the kid punching the I Love Ice boy and the woman setting fire to a potential concentration camp felt good and right? That’s your worldview starting to change in a very necessary way. Sit with it. Be gentle with yourself and sit with it. We’re going somewhere.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
