Thank you Governor.

My wife and I moved to Chicago from florida so we could be safe. The acceptance here exceeds all our expectations.

Thank you

My family fled the rise of a dictator in cuba when I was a baby.

My parenta were lifelong republicans 'cuz of JFK and the Bay of Pigs.

They supported Nixon and Heritage 'cuz thats what conservatives did.

They were good people.

They'd be appaled to see how the GOP has served up racistism.

Chicago is very queer.

Aside from the ICE BS were amazed at how accepting everyone is

This morning we witnessed an ICE action on our block.

This afternoon I saw this woman standing where it happened.

She was still there this evening.

I took her a bottle of water and asked her if she was standing vigil.

She looked at me with pain on her eyes and said "It's all I can do"

A woman wearing a dark green hooded clock stands motionless on a sidewalk holding a candle. A candle burns at her feet.

Focus on the positive

Stay the plan

Keep moving in the direction you want

Do not worry on the things you cannot change

Know that you are in the right

Be aware and safe

Don't give them what they want and be scared

Your positivity is your power

You'll hang on to it for 5 years out of a feeling of obligation. Then another 3 years out of guilt.

2 more years it will take to rationalize getting rid of it.

Then you'll list it on ebay.

6 months later you'll donate them to Goodwill (not salvation army)

Speaking from experience ...

We all know about Generational Wealth. Inheriting wealth.

Well, I'm a victim of Generational Stuff wherein I inherited stuff from my parents who inherited it from dead relatives.

Cool stuff but do I really need it? And I'm obligated to take it?

Like that giant cherry dresser that just sits there

Couch buddies.

The lovely Anne with the silver hair recliner on the couch with a green throw wrapped over her legs. Bowie the Dogg, a small brown terrier, snuggles up to her and looks contented.

The name Russell Voyght should become the most reviled in our country, for all time.

Right alongside Steven Miller.
