Woke. Walked. It rained a bit. My mood dropped. All it takes is a thought, at times. I forget about it already.
By now you've heard the story of U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12th, D). She contracted COVID-19 after being "safely" shut in with maskless Republican lawmakers during the attempted coup in the Capitol building a week ago. These Republicans laughed at members' pleas to wear their masks.
In addition to Coleman (a 75-year-old cancer survivor), two other conscientious Democrats have been infected. Our own Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-7th) and Brad Schneider (IL-10th). Jayapal is now calling for yet another reason to consider expulsion of those Republican members who refused to wear masks.
After nearly being infected by the same attitude myself, I second the motion.
