A Sunday read — 26 members of the Chicago City Council signed a letter expressing concern about Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposal to tax wealthy corporations, making them pay their fair share.

Here’s a look at who’s for/against the proposal.

Emanuel killed it. Johnson wants it back. Chicago’s corporate head tax debate is about more than money • The TRiiBE
Proponents say former Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s removal of the corporate head tax left a hole in the city's budget that was never replaced; they want the rich to pay their fair share.

Media leadership is at an all-time low. How unfortunate.

Audiences, consumers, and community members should realize that it's also eroding the credibility of your favorite affiliated journalists. The trickle effect is very real. Under the FCC, it's all connected, whether hard news or entertainment.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr thanks Nexstar Media for their decision on Jimmy Kimmel.

(Important to note, ABC has pulled the show indefinitely nationwide.)

Some of the things Charlie Kirk has said as a right-wing influencer and Trump ally:

• “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s”

• George Floyd was a “scumbag”

• Gun deaths are “worth it”

I think it’s a hard ask for marginalized groups who have been victimized by that man’s rhetoric to not feel what they feel, whether it be schadenfreude or fear. You don’t get to judge.

responding to fascist threats with strength and power rooted in community WORKS. in order for fascist rhetoric to work, the target of their ire has to be painted as weak and ineffectual. standing on business like Pritzker has done here is unironically the ONLY thing that works.
Q: "Do you have plans for Chicago this week?"

Trump: "No. Not really. We're going to go some place, but we're picking."

Q: "You've been talking a lot about Chicago?"

Trump: "No, Chicago's been talking a lot about it."
