My students used to get me sick every year. Now that I mask, I haven't gotten an upper respiratory infection since covid bit me 4 years ago.

i'm aware i'm not perfectly safe 24/7 but just masking on public transport and in medical facilities have reduced my sick days dramatically. for decades i took having severe colds 3-4 times a year, taking weeks to recover, coughing for months for granted, for no reason. it feels great to not be sick

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

About the incident where ten cars supposedly blocked ICE and they had to shoot someone because she had a semiautomatic weapon:
“The criminal complaint makes no mention of any firearm in the possession of either motorist, in contrast to an earlier statement from the Department of Homeland Security.”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

if you're not sure who the Illinois State Police are there to protect, here's a helpful guide:
the people they have their backs to, who they are not pushing or giving orders to, are the ones being protected
@govpritzker.illinois.gov has deployed the state police to protect ICE operations

It's important to note that penning people in to "free speech zones" & rolling out state/local cops in riot gear is a move that always ends with them being heavy-handed/escalating situations with protesters, but allows the state to change the narrative to "bad" protesters deserving harm.
We’ve been shoved around by state cops with batons. They’ve already arrested one person for being in the street.
