#Portland #COVIDVaccine
If you're deterred from getting a vaccine because you have heard about long lines, you don't have to worry. I went to the Convention Center. Arrived at 7:15 and was out at 8:00 including a 30-minute wait because I have allergies.
My appt was for 7:45 but they were moving ahead of schedule. It was well-organized, seamless, and the shot itself is painless, about as perceptible as an insulin injection.
My arm is stiff and sore, but it was stiff and sore before the shot, so I doubt I would notice any change.
They have escorts for people with mobility issues. There's quite a bit of walking & they provide wheelchair escorts for those who may struggle with moving from one end of the convention center to another. 2nd appts are made while you are there or online via email sent while there

I am disabled. I rely on the LIFT or my best friend for transportation. I do not have a cell phone. However, that does not mean I think people who have phones plus more mobility should not get standby vaccines. Image
I have been poor most of my life. My parents were poor. I worked for a grassroots organization that didn't have the resources for good wages, but paid in satisfaction in winning political victories. I only reached the middle class during my last dozen working years. It was nice.
But in all the time I was poor and was working in grassroots organizing with many people who were poor, I never noticed any resentment of people who had a little more. Yeah, disgust for the super-wealthy, the tax dodgers and avoiders, but not for the middle class

Uh, oh.I was somewhat lackadaisically waving my cat's mouse on a stick
and a outside cat saw it and came to chase it outside the window. So my cat just slammed into the window like some cop busting down a door. Now she is vibrating with rage
She is incandescent! Zoomies on steroids!

This is important for one really big reason. If we don't pass the John Lewish Voting Rights Act, everything we want to do is at risk in the future as Republicans are already chiseling away at people's right to vote and will do so more aggressively with Trump's court picks.
So if you want Student Loan Forgiveness or Zero Interest Student Loans, Free College, Universal Health Care, Living Wage Jobs, Zero Carbon, Environmental Sustainability and the entire laundry list, you need to help us secure our voting rights and elections into the future.
We already have essentially minority rule in many states and minority over-representation in the Senate and Electoral College that we have to ensure that democracy has a chance against all the efforts to subvert it that are already in place.

How many of you have noticed that the most vocal proponents of "survival of the fittest" are likely to be opponents of teaching evolution in school?
And of course, they do, since Social Darwinism is a corruption and misrepresentation of Darwin's theory and the subsequent science that are part of what we understand about evolution. After all, Social Darwinism despises cooperation which ignores that cooperation is essential to
the survival of many species such as ants, bees, and humans. If the human species spent the last millennia doing rugged individualism in the style of Texas and Colorado mayors, we would have long disappeared. We cooperate and help each other. We are a community-organized species.

As I see the Republican party get ever more detached from reality, it is obvious that there are some benefits to the "smoke-filled rooms" of the past. Marjorie Taylor Greene, for example, is raking in the cash in small donor contributions and sees no need to moderate her views
The Dems also benefit from small-donor contributions but without a radicalizing extremist propaganda army like FOX, OANN, Epoch Times, Breitbart, Sinclair, and so on, we are not ruled by a lunatic fringe who are constantly lied to.
Instead, without that radicalizing influence, the authoritarian, anti-democracy left gravitates to the Greens, the DSA, and other Marxist splinter groups. They make claims about taking over the Dems but compare the success rate of Justice Dems to Run For Something.

Back in the 60s, the Republicans realized that the facts were against them and began a campaign of pressuring the media that continues to this day. Spiro Agnew, the criminal vice-president, led the charge advised by Roger Ailes.

Since then, the media has always crafted stories around certain frames that seem written in stone. Democrats are bumbling and ineffectual. Republicans are strong, effective, and powerful.
They continue this frame even though 43 Republicans are so weak, ineffectual, and cowardly they cannot stand up to a disgraced and corrupt president who sanctioned their murder if that's what it took for him to stay in power.
