I posted this comment on the Hubbell blog this morning. It is probably of interest to your readers too:

I live in Virginia and am aware that our current governor (Youngkin) is considering and being considered by Republican mega donors as the default Republican presidential candidate if Trump and all the current contenders fail in their efforts to get the nomination. The condition for making this happen, so the pundits say, is having the Republicans prevail in the upcoming November election to retain control of Virginia’s lower legislative house and take control of the Senate which currently has a slight Democratic majority. So, to your point of “protecting” the prospects of a Biden/Democratic win in 2024, there should be (and currently is) a major push/effort to enable the Democrats to control both houses of the Virginia legislature in November this year. Any additional support for this effort will be greatly appreciated by both many Virginians and potentially much of the rest of the country too.

My Sister District group in California is currently supporting a candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates and a candidate for Virginia state Senate. You can help elect Democrats in Virginia no matter where you live.

I really like these compilations of resources, Simon, for Information Warrior purposes. Excellent; please keep them coming!

I'm happy for you for your travels. Yes, seeing the remnants of civilizations that have come and gone can really lead to some interesting introspection -- and motivation for those of us fighting for democracy and human rights.
