Remember these names. They are a danger to the health and democracy of our Oregon and our country, the United States of America. Treat them accordingly. Politics is not a spectator sport.

Stay safe. Don’t travel if you can avoid it. Stay home when you can. Avoid lengthy indoor gatherings especially with non-household family and friends. Practice social distancing. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Get vaccinated. Praise medical personnel and grocery store workers whenever possible. Beware of ignorant, anti-science, toxic, life-threatening medical disinformation from Republicans. Heed public health instructions from our Oregon governor, Kate Brown. Listen to Dr. Fauci and his fellow public health and science experts on President-elect Joe Biden’s Coronavirus Task Force.
