If the US wants Mexico to do more to halt the flow of opioids going northward, the US could start by doing *anything* (it currently does nothing) to halt the flow of guns going southward.

@TXsharon The US EPA came out with new methane rules today.

https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-proposes-updates-greenhouse-gas-emissions-reporting-requirements-oil-and-gas

The detailed rules are here:

Notable it appears to allow super-emitter notifications from sources other than satellites:

"The method used during by the notifier to quantify the emissions (satellite detection;
remote-sensing equipment on aircraft; mobile monitoring platform; other, specify; or unknown)."

Viral Leftist Twitter account, Erica Marsh, who made liberals look like idiots, has been suspended and is believed not to be a real person.

She claimed to be a Biden campaign field organizer and had worked at the Obama Foundation. Both Biden and Obama teams deny knowledge of her.

The account often posted bizarre rage-baiting 'progressive' tweets that led to counter tweets from the far right and used against progressives.

Reality Winner had 1 classified document: no bail

Trump had
27 documents in his office
Of those
6 Top Secret
18 Secret
3 Confidential
75 documents in a storage room
Of those
11 Top Secret
36 Secret
28 Confidential

Yet Trump is free to roam.

This stochastic terrorist posted Obama’s address and directed his minions against his enemies

Two justice systems.

On Dec 20, 1777, the Kingdom of Morocco became the world's first country to recognize U.S. independence. Sultan Mohammed III ordered Moroccan ports to open to American ships & an alliance was built.

Some ignorantly claim that Islam & Muslims are incompatible with America. In truth, America's longest global alliance is with Muslim majority Morocco.

So this July 4th—recognize that America’s greatness is as a secular nation that celebrates people of all faiths & no faith on the tenets of justice.

#SCOTUS more like #SCROTUS

"In addition to setting the size of the Supreme Court, Congress also determines the time and place of the Court’s sessions. Congress once exercised that power to change the Court’s term to forestall a constitutional attack on the repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801, with the result that the Court did not convene for fourteen months."

I'm still pissed at myself for not being in the streets when Mitch McConnell refused to move forward with Merrick Garland's nomination and Amy Coney Barrett's was rushed through.

@Huntn00 @sellitman I have argued for years that groups, threads and forums should and would be the core of the fediverse. The entire streaming id model the world is addicted to was always stupid. Like your analogy, mine is “who goes to a party expecting to have to listen to everything every guest has to say?” It was invented by engineers. It was always absurd.

All true, but they couldn’t use that cop-out if Mastodon had not spent years not building things that many, including me, said it would need to ever go mainstream. It’s not that it’s hard. It’s that it’s awkward in too many important areas that users now expect, and have still not been improved. Only promised. And users typically tire of unfulfilled promises.
