Who is lightfoot

What possible health benefit is there for wearing a mask from door to table, then taking it off to eat and drink and talk all night? Every one of us knows that 10 seconds of following the hostess to your table is not a potential superspreader event. Meanwhile, CDC guidelines still say if you take a kid across state lines, say on vacation, you have to quarantine for 10 days.

Is any parent in the country actually doing this? Because he knows he would look like a fool. And more importantly, what metrics do we need to hit for them to go away? When mask mandates made their first appearance in the spring of , many feared we would wind up wearing them forever. In , Lightfoot moved to the city that she would one day hope to lead. She had been accepted to law school at the University of Chicago.

When I came to the law school it was a fence with barbed wire on top separating us from the surrounding black neighborhoods. Leaving Hyde Park and going to Washington Park and seeing the destitute conditions that a lot of the people in that neighborhood lived in was breathtaking. From law school it was on to the white-shoe law firm of Mayer Brown, where she took on cases that would later become fodder for her opponent, Preckwinkle.

Lightfoot represented Merrill Lynch against claims of race discrimination. Joe Walsh, a plaintiff on the suit.

Lightfoot was well on her way to becoming a partner, but she wanted trial law experience, so in she left it all behind to become a federal prosecutor. That same year, her brother was arrested for a federal crime: possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute. Brian Lightfoot was sentenced to 17 years in prison — for a case not so different from those his sister was prosecuting. Instead of calling out the racism, some in Chicago media used it to fake deep conversations on race—the kinds they learned about in White Fragility.

In other words, they were too terrified to be honest about what the mayor was doing. It's not woke to call out a black lesbian mayor, is it? The reaction was embarrassing.

Outrage would have been the only appropriate response, but there was little of that. NBC Chicago's Mary Ann Ahern passed up an opportunity to call out the racist stunt, choosing instead to air a standard, milquetoast peace offering to try to downplay the controversy.

The next time anyone tells you local journalism matters as newsroom budgets are cut, I hope you remember this segment and tell them journalists should start acting like it actually does matter. Two white reporters at FOX 35 awkwardly discussed the issue, carefully noting the "important conversation to be having" about newsroom diversity.

They seemed to register their discomfort with Lightfoot's gesture but wouldn't condemn it outright. Then, they clunkily asked a black colleague to weigh in.

She said she supported the mayor's "courageous" decision to tackle the issue of newsroom diversity. There are rumors circulating on social media that Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot will be tendering her resignation after being caught cheating on her wife, First Lady Amy Eshleman.

The rumors stemmed from a now-deleted tweet posted by Chicago civil rights advocate Ja'Mal Green. WOW," he tweeted.
