In Rosemary's Baby, the anti-Christ is born exactly a half year after the birthday of Jesus. It is an interesting observation, therefore, that January 6 - the attempted death of American democracy - should occur almost six months after the celebration of July 4, the date commemorating the birth of American democracy.
Although the Congressional January 6 Committee is about to release its findings implicating those of the feral right who participated in the insurrection, and their political wing represented by the Republican Party, it has not stopped these groups from continuing their mischief.
Since we will be electing a new Governor, Senator, and State Supreme Court Justice later this year, we therefore need to start addressing such incivility and advocate for a return to decency in our government and in our way of life now. On this Thursday, January 6, there will be two rallies in the western suburbs. Hope you can make one of them. Details are below:
