Who could have seen this coming?
After Uvalde, Texas undertook an ambitious effort to station a police officer at every school.
Since then, students have been tackled, pepper sprayed and Tasered. Many episodes began over minor infractions like breaking dress code or vaping.

Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC?
Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program.
If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them
ALT New York now offers free air conditioners for the summer: here’s how to apply. The program started receiving applications on April 15. In circumstances where an air conditioner cannot be safely installed, a fan will be provided. Published April 15, 2026 at 11:19 AM.

The Supreme Court is deciding whether police can get a warrant to search every phone near a crime scene …including yours, mine, and every innocent person nearby.
The Founders called that a general warrant. They literally fought a revolution over it.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent.
Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. housingnothandcuffs.org/2026…
