There is an election coming and let's not forget the position of the White House. Trump will use hate at every turn to promise to be able to make the USA an Evangelical haven if given the House and Senate. He doesn't care what is possible, he only cares about WINNING, so the lies and promises will be served up in abundance.
Everyone that cares about the USA and it's incredible movements that provide civil rights to all Americans need to be voting this year and WITHOUT OBSTRUCTION. The future is important and we have yet to reverse the sins of the Climate Crisis. The future of our country has never been more important for the youngest of our generations.
We also have yet to ELIMINATE Sars-CoV-2 from our country's borders. "Moderna" (click here) has a promising vaccine in process, but, still isn't real yet. There is a great deal of hope for "Moderna" with orders lining up (click here) before it is even ready. "Moderna" has a great deal of demand on it's capacity. It will be a vaccine process that will need a great deal of patience to be sure it is working.
But, to be happy in the face of victory is more than appropriate. I congratulate Gerald Bostock for believing the USA is the country of promise.

The decision, the first major case on transgender rights, came amid widespread demonstrations, some protesting violence aimed at transgender people of color.
Until Monday’s decision, it was legal in more than half of the states to fire workers for being gay, bisexual or transgender. The vastly consequential decision thus extended workplace protections to millions of people across the nation, continuing a series of Supreme Court victories for gay rights even after President Trump transformed the court with his two appointments....
