breakthrough infection. Who knows if Covid has a nasty second feature like many other viruses? Thankfully, she says she wore a mask and was only near President Biden outside and stayed six feet away from him.

the adults are in charge again. However marginally that control may be thanks to two senators owned and operated by American billionaires. Thanks Supremes - you enabled the blazing fast speed with which our oligarchs have bought our supposed democratic government. We need laws from congress to remedy the right wing take over of our courts.

And we need to elect more Democrats to the House and Senate. Especially the senate - get rid, once and for all, of the ability of two senators, representing a fraction of the American public, being able to wield enough power to derail progressive legislation intended to benefit at least 80% plus of regular American people.

Preaching to the choir here, I admit.

Personally, I’m terrified the right ring noise machine will turn out enough voters to get it close enough for them to steal, given the number of states that have enacted legislation to give the Rethugs a great advantage in calling the race. On the other hand, I have great faith in the newer generation of voters coming in now who have been shown to be much more progressive than previous generations.

Here’s hoping. And go Jen Psaki!!

What a nice change from TFG’s years. So happy the vaccine is helping and her symptoms are mild. Get well soon!
