Masks

Hey, if mask expense is an issue for anyone, Bona Fide Masks is having a 30% off sale (with free ground shipping) through the end of July. They sell a lot of brands and types of masks, so whatever you're using, they probably have it.

Elections

I will vote for whoever is nominated Democrat in this election, because the fascists are too much of a risk to permit.

And I will make mental note of every senior Democrat whose name I can find who argued for subverting the will of the electorate, who pushed this into a situation where we are getting a nominee who was chosen not by the people, but by the party elites. And I will donate to their primary challengers come the next election. I will write postcards. I may even unbend enough to make calls.  (I hate making calls.)

Because removing American democracy cannot be allowed to stand. From either party.

(Once upon a time I had a lot of respect for Nancy Pelosi. Now? Now she needs to be out, if she was the ringleader on this. Not this election, but in the next primary. I am a single-issue voter on the subject of "democracy continues to exist," and the Dems pulling a nicer, politer version of it doesn't mean that's not what they did here. This is Democrats taking a page out of the fascist playbook and in the primaries when it's safe to do so they need to be scathingly electorally rebuked for it.)
