Are you safer today than 4 months ago? Safer from economic hardship? Scarcity? Safer from natural disasters? Food? Air and water? Are you safer from predatory business practices? Epidemic?
Feeling that insecurity over a prolonged period is a form of chronic stress - but numbness is not the answer.

As Gov. Pritzker said today (paraphrasing), peacefully film everything, ask for identification, protect your neighbors whether or not you’re friends - they are still your neighbors - if you don’t, you very well may be someone you pray a neighbor will protect.

#TrumpRegime orders arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka for doing nothing more than peacefully exercising his constitutional rights of free speech, assembly and association
NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.
I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.
Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”
