J.B. Pritzker

 THE GOAL:  Thank Illinois Governor, J.B. Pritzker

BACKGROUND:

Trump is planning to send troops to Chicago, using the pretense that Chicago is riddled with crime.   If crime were the real reason, there are many cities in red states that are far worse.  Pritzker responded brilliantly.  There are many write-ups and videos devoted to what he said, but the one you need to read is Heather Cox Richardson's Letters to an American August 25th.  

He began by saying: “I want to speak plainly about the moment that we are in and the actual crisis, not the manufactured one, that we are facing in the city and as a state and as a country. If it sounds to you like I am alarmist, that is because I am ringing an alarm, one that I hope every person listening will heed, both here in Illinois and across the country.”

By the way... 

Lately I have been struggling with the weight of all that is happening.  I was in quite a funk over the weekend.  One thing that seems to help is to focus on thanking people.  I do this until my fight returns and then I go after the bad guys again.   Thanking Pritzker is a joy.
