Let’s be careful out there today, people!

I’m teaching Call Northside 777 tomorrow, and I am usually too disorganized to plan pedagogical wardrobe, but this T-shirt seems appropriate. IIRC, it dates from first Tr*mp administration, but clearly also speaks to Democracy dying in oligarchical consolidation. @dansinker.com

While the change might appear small, ballots mailed near the March 17 deadline might not be postmarked by Election Day and therefore deemed invalid, Cook County Clerk Monica Gordon warned.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
That’s brisk.

Chicago people!
Remember the sunshine we had like three hours ago?
Here’s the WIND and the SNOW to slap us back to January!
Or Indiana.

Wear your masks 😷 out there, Chicago people! Tested positive for Covid today (TWO different tests, two different brands) & am running a jolly fever 🤒 of 102°!
Take care of yourselves, okay?
(And yes, I did get vaccinated for Covid and for flu as recommended….)
I hope it all misses you! I’m just getting over the thing that combined both the sneezing and the coughing in one disgusting package.

And NYT just now:
“That was an 18-minute speech that will keep fact checkers busy for hours.”
Except… it’s torrential…

Note to self:
Do not make references to ad campaigns from, say, 30 years ago when talking to the youngs. Not much worse than having to explain that.
Sweet pea!
