<\/p>\nToday is Twos-day (although we have an even bigger one coming on the 22nd.) Yesterday, I got the emails in TC’s PP email inbox down below 6000, which took me back into mid-November. I can only delete 23 at a time max, and skipping isn’t possible, so it’s not as fast as it could be … but I do think I can do up to a thousand a day most days. Fortunately, out of that over-a-thousand I kept less than 20, and 6 of those are backups. So it isn’t requiring too much thought.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – This is the \u201clocal control\u201d that Gov. Parson favors, where a \u201cselect\u201d group is given legal authority to rebuke the evils they are convinced critical race theory will impart on white society. Throughout history, the \u201cunpardonable sin\u201d of educators moving toward racial progress without white consent has been atoned for in the same way: disgruntled white people band together on a school board or committee to erase unwanted Black people, texts, and consciousness.

Mother Jones also has an article on the Tennessee meeting at which “Maus” was banned<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0 And a recent Antiaues Roadshow<\/a> featured a collector whp is cllecting the books which belonged to Prudence Crandall, just to keep her memory alive.\u00a0 The segment starts at 35:22 and it’s only a few minutes.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – The Bennie Hargrove Gun Safety Act, named after the student killed in the shooting at his downtown Albuquerque school, would make it illegal for a gun owner to allow a minor unauthorized access to their weapon. The proposed law doesn\u2019t specify how a gun should be stored but says gun owners could be fined $1,000 for storing a weapon in such a way that would allow a minor to gain unauthorized access. If the child used the weapon to commit a crime, the owner could also be found guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.

\nQuote from Katie Porter – “I know that Dr. Yadira Caraveo is the best candidate to represent Colorado\u2019s new 8th Congressional District. As a pediatrician, a former union representative, and a two-term state legislator, Dr. Caraveo is a trusted leader and a true reformer. In Congress, Dr. Caraveo will be a strong fighter for families and a critical voice to protect the future of our democracy.”
\nClick through to Caraveo’s personal info page<\/a>. Unfortunately I do not live in the 8th District, which is in\/around Adams County. But I wish her the best. Anyone supported by Katie Porter has my support too.<\/p>\n
