Working on bio page for campaign website (very raw version is here: http://mohanrajforoakpark.com). This is too long, right? I should cut a bunch of it, maybe the publications? (It is hard figuring out what voters want to know.) (NOTE — have trimmed publications, also edited to put in bullet points, to make it more readable,

As I put my campaign website together, I’m mostly thinking I should link to places where I’ve already done political writing, in one form or another. Of course, I have to remember those places first. If you happen to think of any pieces of mine you’ve read along those lines, and can drop a mention

My writing group was supposed to meet tonight, and we

No experience needed;

More information on the racist attack on L!VE Cafe yesterday. I want to call out that this is not only a racist attack, though that would be terrible and terrifying enough — given the text, “no [n-words] on the ballot,” this is clearly an attack on democracy itself. It is a response to the work
