The Mayor has budgeted $5 million for a ShotSpotter replacement for CPD.
You really could not have a clearer illustration of the choices between community resources vs state surveillance, and so far, as usual, the choice is state surveillance.

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.

Thank you to the Archer Heights branch of Chicago Public Library for hosting our Intergalactic Pantry Portal, designed by Bo Jones, our artist in residence. The pantry joins 5 other locations at Brighton Park & Clearing branches, as well as Vittum Park, Alivio Medical Center and UI Health. Enjoy!

I support the head tax. You should too. The mayor should also support libraries. He was able to come up w/ 32 *new* positions for CPD and just found $18 million more for business grants with the head tax money.
He can find $4.5 million to cover library staffing.

THIS IS BIG
For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

I see people claiming the head tax is going to public libraries, but as far as we’ve been told- it isnt. The good news is, our lackluster book budget may be restored. The bad news? We’re still facing 89 positions cut. After 52 positions were cut last year. That’s 11% of our workforce!

this is true but it goes even deeper than this, it’s not that they ‘don’t care’ about their kid, it’s they don’t care about their autonomany and only view their children as property and want to control them. its why we see the modern lavender panic, fears of “kids being transed”, from the far right
One of the things that's very difficult to really take to heart about MAGA conservatives is that you can't get them on hypocrisy about their children because they really don't give a fuck about their kids
Everyone who posts this should note that Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. Do not let her off the hook on this.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.
These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.
They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
