This is so important. And photos of these postings should find their way into the Chicago History Museum as a permanent exhibition.

The Gaza protests not only “provoked intense political conflict.” Liberal and Dem leaders are still calling them antisemites for caring about liberal principles like human rights and international law…and they expect these same kids to come defend liberal democracy!

@brendannyhan.bsky.social is right: young people are reluctant to come to the defense of institutions that have excluded them, ignored them, and crushed their movements

Man, I am so sick of the “Atlanta is a group project” slogan.

Aren’t group projects universally despised (except the ones I gave of course)? And who are the folks in this one who didn’t do any of the work or even show up for project meetings?

Important piece by @tsilverstein.bsky.social

"Avoiding binary thinking will mean that we acknowledge that some cost-inducing policies reduce costs that would be borne elsewhere...It will mean that we look for ways of reducing costs that do not involve trade-offs with social justice implications"

Call and email your city council members to tell them to vote NO on extending the TAD.

Sign up for public comment! Sign up to speak out against the TAD extension at public comment at the Community Development/Human Services Committee meeting Tuesday, November 25 at 11 AM or the full Council meeting December 1 at 1 PM.

Stop the TAD Slush Fund! ❌💦🛑

Andre Dickens is trying to rush a vote on extending all 8 of Atlanta’s tax allocation districts BEFORE the new City Council is sworn in. This would mean 30 more years of siphoning money away from our public schools and into for-profit development.

Atlanta's Housing Justice League is calling on folks to "STOP THE TADS" (TADs=TIFs for folks not in Georgia) and this is about Mayor Dickens' proposal to extend 25+ year-old TIFs (many parts of which are in gentrifying nabes) until 2055.

would be great for folks in #phl to take a look at this as the current mayor suggests creating a 20-year tax abatement for repurposing closed schools: doubling down on a perverse cycle of starving schools of $$ to then justify closing them to then cut developers a deal to starve schools of $$...

Maybe borrowing the tactics of anti-redlining organizers in Chicago in the early ‘70s who clogged up the teller lines at savings & loans by opening accounts with large bags of pennies….

Hospital system (“nonprofit”) sends my 94 year old very ill father a message that says he owes money and — despite acknowledging that he hasn’t received an actual bill yet — he has to pay before his next doctors appointment…which is 3 days from now. 🤬🤬🤬

Me, the twentieth-century Chicago curmudgeon: I miss the city Christmas tree being in Daley Plaza rather than Millenium Park, which feels like a location for suburbanites & tourists. (Inevitable I know.)

(I *really* miss the State Street Christmas windows at Marshall Fields & Carson Pirie Scott)

also, “politics is bottom/top not left/right” might work as a slogan but is shit as analysis. who is the bottom? who is the top? who constitutes an “elite” and who belongs to “the people?” these are important questions that have to be answered.
