yep, there’s still news today
I was gonna say that I’m glad the weekend is over so I can get some rest, but the week is shaping up to be just as crazy as the weekend was. Why am I telling you this? So you know there’s nothing but drive-by posting for a few more days, of course.
Also, I’m going to skip the convention coverage. You can get plenty of official news and opinion from the internets, as well as lots of other perspectives. I’ll try to post later in the week with some good sources from the street level, but for now, here’s the activist sources.
