'In America: Remember' honors the 676,000 Americans who've died of COVID-19 with a public art installation on the National Mall.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders on Tuesday commemorated the more than 676,000 Americans who have died of COVID-19 in a ceremony at a public art instillation on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Flanked by a sea of white flags, each representing an American who died after contracting the virus, Pelosi noted that "nothing could be as eloquent a manifestation of sadness than art." She was joined by Reps. Jim Himes of Connecticut, Paul Tonko of New York, Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon, and Mark Takano of California, who said they were there on behalf of the rest of the Democratic caucus. No Congressional Republicans were in attendance, organizers said, though it was unclear if any were invited.

"All of us grieve together, are inspired together, and renew our pledge to remember," Pelosi said. "And in remembering, to make sure that the number doesn't grow."

And there should be billboards in every state that is being run by a wanna be autocratic republican assholes like Florida, Texas, South Dakota, Idaho, Mississippi, and have the deaths of that state below that 676,000 and what they contributed....
