If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

In addition to his corrupt initiation of mid-decade gerrymandering in multiple states, Trump continues to gear up to use DOJ, the US military, and local Republican authorities to rig the midterms.

Discussing vaccines in class. A (possibly vax-hesitant) student said they had gotten whooping cough even though they were vaxxed. "How long did it last?" I asked. "2 weeks. It wasn't too bad." "Kids used to get it for months, coughing so much they cracked ribs. Thank goodness you were vaxxed."

What do you make of everyone showing evidence of lower respiratory track infections? Do you often see that among...piles of dead soldiers? It, you know, seems like a lot of lung disease. :)
