INDIVISIBLE CHICAGO PODCAST SHOW NOTES FOR FEBRUARY 22, 2021

1. To make American's lives better, we may need to end the filibuster. But Democrats always focus on the second part -- the process -- and not the first part -- the good stuff. We need to get it right this time. More about Hozier's song Nina Cried Power here: https://songexploder.net/hozier. More about Anat Shenker Osario here: https://bit.ly/37v0GH5.

2. A month or so ago, Mike Simmons had a full plate as deputy director of the My Brother's Keeper Alliance as the policy and urban planning consultant through his firm, Blue Sky Strategies. Less than two weeks later, as we record, he is one of the newest state Senators, appointed on February 6 to replace retiring Heather Steans. This week's guest represents the 7th, a diverse district that includes parts of Uptown, Andersonville, Lincoln Square, and Ravenswood.
