NYC spends approximately $200,000 a year for every inmate in the corrections system. It spends about $27,000 a year for every student enrolled in CUNY.

Trump's net approval is -22.4%. He's twice as unpopular as he was at this point in his first term, making him the least popular president at this stage in the history of presidential polling. What more would it take for Dems and liberal institutions to stop being accomodationists?

"In 2020, there were only six programs in the U.S. that sent unarmed responders, such as mental health clinicians, to certain 911 calls instead of police officers. Now, these programs — sometimes called alternative or community response — are in nearly 100 cities." www.npr.org/2026/09/22/n...

How unarmed 911 teams are reshaping public safety in nearly 100 cities
Alternative response programs, where mental health clinicians respond to 911 calls instead of police, have proliferated since George Floyd's murder. What does it take to do this work well?

The moment the AI company is asking you for your bank account data, that’s what we call a “clue.” That’s the ore they’re mining from you. That will become the basis for surveillance-pricing you on everything you buy in the future. Including those groceries

A lot of people are not well right now: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is an excellent time to de-escalate conflicts and to lean into patience. This is true in our personal lives and also (maybe especially) online when it's overwhelmingly strangers crashing into each other.

Seeing some posts like, “When you insult Trump, you also insult those of us who support him” or whatever. Like, yeah. Good. Fuck you. Fuck him AND fuck you. Fuck all fascists. Mom loves Trump? Tupac said it: “Fuck you and your motherfucking mama.” Glad we had this talk. Be blessed.

The funny thing (it's not really funny) about the various cults that dip into and out of AI is that the most chilling thing I've heard from AI boosters isn't "AI will kill everyone." It's "we will use AI to benefit all of humanity."

Democratic leaders and the media aren’t mad about Trump’s abuses because they honestly don’t care. I believe in Occams Razor and this is the most rational explanation for the last decade.

Idk who needs to hear this but the biggest coordinated activism in Georgia in decades happened in 2023 when they gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures for a referendum opposing a police training facility in Atlanta—twice—and the Democratic controlled city council simply ignored it
Idk who needs to hear this, but politicians are not activists and stop expecting them to be when that is our job as the people to be the activists
