Historian of coups and right-wing authoritarians here. If there are not severe consequences for every lawmaker & Trump govt official who backed this, every member of the Capitol Police who collaborated with them, this "strategy of disruption" will escalate in 2021

Support one of the best restaurants in the city AND get delicious wine for a good price. I promise it’ll make what’s left of this shit year slightly better. Do it.

In the words of the inestimable Jim Anchower, it's been a while since I rapped at ya, #energytwitter. Today's thread: capital budgeting in the industrial sector and what that means for the (in)efficiency of energy investments in that space.

The public relations machine within police departments -- paid for by taxpayers -- has wide influence in shaping the public narrative. Which videos get released by police, and which do not? My latest: latimes.com/california/sto…

More Black people have gone to jail for protesting police murders than the number of police who have actually murdered Black people. And now people are getting killed for protesting police killings

Media and politicians respond to riots by saying that more police and prisons are necessary but we know that's never kept us safe. We need to ask how we got here in the first place. Chicago needs resources and investment — not more police. theappeal.org/after-recent-u…

This is a tragic story. Whole communities are dying as the coal industry dies. But shame on elected officials who could have acted to prevent this and didn't. energynews.us/2020/08/11/wes…

Chicago officials keep dipping into the accounts of the city's top economic development program - aka TIFs - whenever they want $ for something else. They even talk about a TIF "surplus." The money is supposed to go to neighborhoods needing investment. chicago.suntimes.com/2020/8/7/21357…

Madalena McNeil is accused of buying red paint before a protest. Under aggressive new criminal charges, it could mean she spends the rest of her life in prison. trib.al/OxregyC

These 68 videos show clear apparent instances of police officers escalating violence during protests. Most departments refused to share details about investigations and discipline or even officers’ names. Here’s what we learned about each case. propub.li/3fsD3At

Oh, and this tactic of trying to convince white city residents and suburbanites that their city is a hellhole? This isn’t 1960. It won’t work. We love our cities, and care about resolving their problems in meaningful ways. We get that a place can have problems and still be great.
