Libraries!!!!
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.

Hope .
It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Starving Palestinians in Gaza in the ongoing genocide is an intentional decision made by every single complicit country, but especially the violent settler colonizers “Israel” and the “United States.”

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

after this stunning victory, it seems clear that mainstream media does not understand the true populist heart of this country. I expect outlets like the NYT and the Atlantic to immediately find multiple Muslim socialists to explain America to them and their readers.

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.
In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented.
