Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

“Our lunch is spoiled,” said Toad. “I made it for you, Frog, so that you would be happy.”
“But Toad,” said Frog, “I AM happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up, I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you for a friend.”

“It’s an avalanche!” cried Toad. Frog and Toad jumped away. Frog was trembling.
“I am not afraid!” he shouted.

Another day, another reason to eat the rich
Once again, @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police have attacked protesters while doing crowd control for ICE in Broadview. Pritzker positions himself as a Trump opponent, but he's doing ICE's dirty work in Broadview. It has to stop.

All of us, every single one of us, are fuckups. We all do shitty things. We try not to, and we fail.
We've spent too much our energy learning all of the ways everything we do is bad and wrong, and not enough of our time identifying what is good and worth nurturing in each of us.

I don't vote in Illinois and I'm not paying close attention to this race, but I'd sure like to see more candidates and elected Democrats putting their bodies on the line like this. I don't even care if it's a campaign stunt. Kat is out there taking risks, and we need to see leaders fighting.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
