CPD spends $4 million a day, that’s 40% of Chicago’s operating budget.

Thinking about how MLK came up to Chicago, lived on the west side for a while, participated in a March in Cicero and those racists threw bricks and bottles at him. He said “I have never seen, even in Mississippi and Alabama, mobs as hateful as I’ve seen here in Chicago.”
.@GovPritzker pls overrule Chicago's mayor and keep our schools closed. You know she will never admit her plan is a mistake. People will die because of her intransigence, just as they have before. We need state action. wsj.com/articles/europes-sch…
Happy MLK Day!
Abolish capitalism. Defund and abolish police. Demilitarize. Black freedom is dependent on the termination of all systems of oppression globally. theparisreview.org/blog/2018…
the united states has convinced do many people that MLK day is a day of service. MLK wasn't interested in "service," he was interested in the redistribution of wealth to render poverty obsolete. Less service, more redistribution
People who are talking about the possibility of pardon reversals: if the Dems established a contemporary precedent for such actions, you would see massive pardon revocations every time a "tough on crime" Republican got elected. Don't drag the law through a sewer to catch a rat.
went for my walk this morning. listened to the end of a conversation with @helenprejean on Criminal and the beginning of the conversation with Angela Davis on @airgoradio. I def could have kept walking.
