The proposed Chicago city budget has a $5 million line item for a ShotSpotter replacement. Abandoning this failed pursuit would free up the funds needed to maintain 2025 funding levels at our city libraries, which would still leave the libraries underfunded but would avoid disastrous proposed cuts.

A really good conversation that is worth your time!
This week, I talk to @tamaranopper.bsky.social about abolition in practice — how people learn through engagement with state violence, what gets in the way of developing shared analysis, and why abolitionists need to take recruitment and counter-recruitment seriously.
Fascism at the Door, Neighbors in the Street: Abolition in Practice
“I think a lot of us could level up our skills,” says researcher Tamara Nopper.

And to get that far, the regime had to be defeated in the most severe terms, by an international alliance that set a future course. That's not MTG peacing out, or the opposition party having good odds in the midterms. That's something much bigger.

I feel like the fractures we are seeing in the MAGA coalition have some people hoping the status quo will simply make a roaring comeback, and judicial consequences will simply engulf all of the bad guys. There's really no precedent that supports that expectation.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.
