My Jandek Plague Journal: 4/27/20 "Pending Doom"

"Doom/Pending doom/Pending doom/Pending doom/Pending doom/Pending doom/Pending doom." The Attorney General has said the Justice Department may join with protesters paid by the administration in lawsuits to lift states' stay-at-home orders. Is May Day still the target? Are they still trying to make everyone go back to work on International Labor Day? Can't deny the irony of picking the holiday dedicated to showing solidarity as the date you demand actions being taken in solidarity stop. That's the unspoken root of this. You can talk about Korea's test & trace policy, but there was no mandated lockdown because people did it on their own-they weren't willing to infect others. In the States, it's the petulant shrieking of tantrum-throwing children outraged that they can't kill others. That's why they bring guns to the rallies: it's to say there's one thing you may not deny them. -4/27/20. "Pending Doom" from I Woke Up (lyrics) (one week earlier) (one week later)
