In Chicago, 26 city council members oppose Mayor Johnson’s proposal to tax 3% of the wealthiest corporations. What could possibly be influencing them…?

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.

Reject this framing from the Trib: “Most new taxes would need Springfield approval, but the mayor’s frosty relationship w/ Pritzker thus far makes that prospect slim.”

If Pritzker wanted to redistribute wealth, Brandon Johnson would not be able to stop him.

High stakes for Mayor Brandon Johnson’s progressive agenda in head tax push
Having already failed to deliver other key tenets of his ambitious tax-the-rich wish list, the head tax is a watershed moment for Mayor Brandon Johnson and his allies.

“Residents of affluent neighborhoods like Lincoln Park need to understand that the predatory policing practices now seen in their communities are primarily employed to protect the wealthy from the poor and forcefully maintain an exploitative economic system.”

ICE violence does not exist within a vacuum. It didn’t come out of nowhere. This is how it feels to be Black and policed in this country.

NEW — Columnist Bella BAHHS is back with a message for everyone joining the resistance in Chicago and beyond.

What some non-Black Chicagoans are now experiencing is what Black folks have faced for generations: policing as a tool to protect power and profit.

Thinking about when Willie Wilson said police “should be able to chase them [anyone who runs from police] down, and hunt them down like a rabbit,” and Paul Vallas wanted to “take the handcuffs off police.”

Everyone’s getting to see what that looks like in practice now & they don’t seem to like it.

Your Saturday morning read.

“Brandon Johnson and the grassroots coalition of organizers who elected him say it’s time for the wealthy to pay their fair share, a sentiment echoing throughout America and emphasized by the Nov. 4 mayoral election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani.”

it’s important for us to know political history.

it’s also important to call out the MANY things Rahm Emanuel did as he tries — in real time — to smooth talk his way into 2028
As Chicago undergoes the 2026 budget season, digging for ways to close a $1.15 billion shortfall, past choices of previous mayors echo throughout City Hall.

“The fact that how we got to this point is Rahm Emanuel decided, by fiat, to get rid of the head tax.”

ooh we’re talking abolition.

welcome to the movement.
At a Wednesday evening rally, 47th Ward Ald Matt Martin said parents from the school arranged legal rep for Ms. Diana, though they were unsure where she had been taken.

“There cannot be a reformist mindset for this agency... We need to call for the abolition of ICE," said State Sen. Mike Simmons.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”
