Check In 17 May

[tanaqui]

I hope everyone is still staying safe and well (and able to access any financial and other assistance you need) as states begin lifting restrictions. As always, thank you to those who are providing care or keeping the basics of life running during this crisis

Please use the comments to share any sources of support or ideas for how to help others. We are also seeing some evidence of "normal" politics returning. (Well, the Orange Menace is firing officials who are trying to investigate him and walking out of press conferences when journalists question him, which is apparently our baseline now for politics-as-normal….) So please continue to post non-C19 items, too.
