[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Midwesterners be like:

No Yeah = Yes

Yeah no = No

Yeah no for sure = Definitely

Yeah no yeah = I’m sorry, but unfortunately, the answer is yes

No yeah no = oh no, you’ve got nothing to worry about

@cta What is the update to continued delays on the Green line (Cottage Grove)? There is no service since yesterday! Residents need access to this line for multiple reasons, like work! If it isn’t one thing, it’s something else with this line. Absolutely ridiculous!

Am I the only one watching the halftime show and thinking “contact tracing?”

[Maria Akbar @blu_acey]

Wear the mask! 😷

[Rossana Rodriguez 🌹🇵🇷✊🏽🏳️‍🌈 @RossanaFor33]

Hey Chicago, do us a favor. If you see cops anywhere in the city not wearing masks, go to this link and file a complaint with the office of the Inspector General. Give as much info as possible. It will help us make them comply.

It’s so beautiful, powerful and amazing to have a woman as our VP. ❤️

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We did it, @JoeBiden.

[Maria Akbar @blu_acey]

My president. ❤️

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

Because he knew he’d lost. His actions always belie his words.

President Trump was playing golf in Virginia when Joe Biden became the president-elect.

It’s too dangerous for a convention. But not for kids to go to school?

[CNN @CNN]

😷 Wash your hands.
😷 Put on a clean cloth mask, holding it by the ear loops.
😷 Cover your nose, mouth & chin.
😷 Take off the mask by the ear loops.
😷 Wash or store it in a clean, resealable plastic bag right away.
😷 Wash your hands again. https://t.co/EgyADUXzZc

.@BetsyDeVosED is a fool. She is cosmically incompetent. Her interviews are a disaster. Her only “qualification”is inherited wealth. She is tone deaf, entitled and profoundly out of touch. She has little connection to the real world and she thinks America’s kids are expendable.

[Gregory Royal Pratt @royalpratt]

Off the top of my head I can’t remember a worse stretch of children being shot and killed in Chicago. Horrible past couple of weeks.

The number of new positive cases in Illinois has increased for three days in a row, but the state’s seven-day positivity rate has remained flat. https://t.co/1spovjJOTM

This fucking coronavirus is here to stay.

[Archived: Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot @mayorlightfoot]

Hi. Wearing a mask isn't about controlling you or your freedom. It’s about controlling the spread of COVID-19. #WearAMask

[Mara Gay @MaraGay]

So far no, largely because the protesters wear masks. There is nothing surprising about this. They are marching to save lives. https://t.co/5Hraeo16ke

[Akilah Hughes @AkilahObviously]

It should be legal to spray water on the faces of people not wearing masks like how you train dogs to get off your furniture.
