My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.
Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

@richardjmurphy.bsky.social makes the inescapable point that the wealthy are not all wealth-creators and that if they choose domecility on grounds of the fiscal advantages to themselves not others then we don't lose if they leave.
The FT has published an editorial attacking taxes on the wealthy, and saying we must keep those threatening to leave, come what may. They're horribly wrong. If pandering to tax abuse is the price of keeping the wealthy, we should show them the door. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/07...
The FT needs to get its head around wealth, and the need to tax it
The Financial Times published an editorial yesterday which revealed more about the priorities of the economic establishment than it probably intended.

Big coorporations currently own most of the world's solar capacity - but local solar has the power to change all that. | @simonpirani.bsky.social
Rooftop solar can be torn out of capital’s hands
Decentralised solar has the potential to support co-operative, municipal and other forms of community ownership and control.
