Interesting Guatemalan law enforcement only mentions Mexican Santa Muerte on altars and never Guatemalan folk saint, San Simon (Maximon), seen to to the right of the Angel of Death.

This isn’t about politics as usual. It’s about stopping a power grab already happening in Texas, Florida ＆ North Carolina. The April 21 amendment is Virginia’s legal, democratic answer. Early voting is open. Make your voice count. #VirginiaIsForVotingYes #sheshed
