Sometimes I think the American history I read is almost the exact opposite of what the right wing pretends they've read.
* Sen. Lisa Murkowski stopped them raising liability on oil spills single handedly. Guess her party affiliation. Go on guess.
* Phoenix in particular and Arizona in general is already losing revenue over the Show me your Papers law. They are estimating 10 million lost already and it's not even in effect yet. They are now talking about banning optional Latino studies, women's studies etc. classes in Arizona. Way to double down on the racism and injustice, folks.

* My Mother's cats are running out of time. They have until the first.
* I am still trying to recover from tonight's Supernatural. O.o I am also trying to recover from jim butcher's Changes. Dayum. Y'all know I like it dark and powerful. still both in one day was a little like getting mental whiplash.
