Checking in from Fort Myers FL

Well here we are at day 7 with no power. Crews are working their butts off trying to get everyone back their electric. Finally getting enough signal to go online from my phone. Reading the posts at DU is welcome relief from the constant Irma recovery news on the local channels. My home is fine except for a few downed trees and my kids backyard playset got trashed. Anyone else on DU from here say hello. I'm sure that I'm not the only Liberal in town. Now back to the chainsaw.

NPR and Center for Immigration Studies

The CIS is a anti immigration non profit that has ties to white supremacy groups. The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled them a hate group. But again this morning NPR has put them on as a expert on immigration. This is at least the eighth time this year. Today they falsely claimed more than once that Obama acted illegally with regards to DACA. It was never challenged. Thanks NPR! Good luck on your fund raising efforts.
