Yeah, the call-your-congressman thing is something that people overlook. My partner needed a new passport ASAP for a trip and the congressional staff person got them an appointment for a passport the day she called. It would have never occurred to me to call my representative for something like this, but I'm glad she thought of it.
Same here. It never occurred to me to contact my Congressman. An attorney friend of ours suggested it
 
Good thread. Not sure how the old folk are gonna react when they find out that if Texas leaves their VA, Medicare, and Social Security disappear cuz the nation of Texas sure as hell ain't payin' for it. But the gist of what Zimmer writes is accurate, IMO.

I recently watched Andre Callaghan's 2 part mini doc on the US/Mexico border crossings and I'll be honest, I learned more from these 2 vids than I ever have from what the media generally reports. It is centered on Arizona rather than Texas though.

This area is precisely where a harrowing book called The Devil's Highway takes place. Cartels will charge people to take them to this area of the border and send a guide with them to get to I-8. Crazy, sad state of affairs. And this was back in the 2000s
 
Absolutely nuts. The CEO is an Christian Fascist ass-clown, not surprisingly.

Translated into plain English, the business model allows users to stalk someone with a surveillance drone for two hours in the late afternoon.

It would be one thing if it were one drone per neighborhood wandering around on randomized flight paths. Still more intrusive than I care for, like all the highway cameras, but not an obvious safety hazard.
