drawing battle lines..

Being a member of the Northeast Collaborative, it’s a sign of government functioning.

If I was a resident of a state not in a collaborative, I’d be talking to my legislator.

It's an American tradition to work with your neighbors to solve problems. Our national Congress is a manifestation of that but the rump states have made it dysfunctional. Given that our nation is under the thumb of politicians who just "make things up as they along" it's likely that the new health related coalitions will be attacked and that new laws will pop up in an attempt to make them illegal.

I trust the northeastern and western states on this. They are more intelligent and resourceful than the dumbfuckistans in the middle. It gives me a sense of joy and hope.

Minnesota? Michigan?

I know there was some kind of alliance during Covid between Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. I can't remember for sure but believe it had something to do with acquiring PPE. The various Governors created it.

I’m stricken with grief that millions of good Americans who have leadership that have pledged fealty to the detriment of their constituents will fall ill by public health crisis with no factual; science-based support from the federal government.

My.Fu*king.God.

or about 1/3rd of the country's population (11 states).

like MN, IL, WI, MI might consider something like this.

I forgot a state too - HI, which is part of the West coast group, so the total would be just over 114 million.

If we add in those 4 MW states, you would have ~149 million or about 44% of the U.S. population.

Then one could conceivably consider CO, NM, AZ (I could include NV but they have a GOP governor now so probably not happening).

So if you add those 3 more, to the above 4, that is 165 million (19 states) or 49%!

Does it look like they might join later?

Even though Mikie Sherrill is ahead in the polls, there's no end to Republican dirty tricks and cheating.

The last thing we need is another horror of a repuke governor.

To write postcards?

I’m working on mine.

A few weeks ago, VT was in, when I checked this morning, they weren't, now this:

I just got the Covid and flu vaccines for no charge. Presumably my insurance paid the cost, as usual.

All the Democrats are leading by double digits in the races for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general. We will also maintain a strong majority in the House and continue to control the Senate.

Thanks

Just a hunch, the sick fuck doesn’t seem to have our best interests at heart?

Is this country ever going to wake the fuck up?

It wants to reduce our population to ten million. If you see it as population reduction it makes sense and it’s very evil nazi shit.

Join us so we are a solid block.

Although Wisconsin is faltering here and there…we did just have our health department say COVID-19 vax would be available to people in our state.

deals that bypass the trump tariffs. We need to find work-arounds until we can finally be rid of republican russian rule.

And im curious why this is separate from the west coast state group doing basically the same thing? Surely there is power in unity.

particularly if they border each other and they might have doctors who might have offices in more than one of the region's states (especially those right on a border) and would be familiar with the health departments in those states.
