1st up: An early program is CAHOOTS / @WhiteBirdClinic in Eugene, Oregon (pop. 178,000)
#InvestInCommunity #PoliceReform #DefundThePolice #ORPol #DefundPolice
To date, about 450 communities have contracted CAHOOTS to learn about public health based alternatives to police response. This article also mentions updated CAHOOTS stats: Last year they responded to 17% of dispatch calls with only 1/45th of the police budget. #DefundThePolice

And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

The #SocialSecurity discussion between @alicia_munnell from the @RetirementRsrch and @MeghnaWBUR on today’s @OnPointRadio was so informative and encouraging. It’s simple arithmetic, let’s fix it!

Let's be really clear here: When conservatives say that states allow 'post birth abortion' what they're actually talking about is palliative care for fatally ill newborns.

Wharton professor here! Here are the Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates:
— Harris’ proposal increases the deficit by $1.2 trillion, with low- and middle income households benefiting disproportionately.
— Trump’s proposal increases the deficit by $5.8 trillion.

Let’s not forget that in the wake of 9/11/2001 Trump boasted that he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan and lied about helping the victims and about the reaction of the Arab-American community in NY and NJ. It’s not just old age that turned him into a monster.

I’m sure someone is probably fact-checking the debate… maybe… perhaps. But who’s gonna call out the dog whistles and white nonsense?

Harris couldn't get into the question about whether people are better off now than four years ago because the media have pushed the bad economy story so extensively even when they have to make stuff up to push the case cepr.net/washington-post-mis…

Here's the most important inflation data:
Inflation (CPI) is 19.7% since Biden took office
Wages for 'rank and file' workers are 20.3%
Wages for all workers (including bosses) are 17.6%
Most workers have finally received pay increases that beat inflation. But it took a long time to get here.

Asymmetry runs deep.
"How can any meeting between Trump and Harris be a 'debate' if Trump has already made clear that he rejects the foundations of the American system of government? Debates are based on good faith and shared assumptions about democracy." theatlantic.com/newsletters/…

From @ruthbenghiat a key observation.
"The old political forms of democratic electioneering seem to be continuing, but when one party has exited democracy, and has chosen a demagogue as their candidate, those forms cannot function in the same way."

Donald Trump repeated his false claim that he won the 2020 election by questioning the veracity of results in majority-minority cities.
"That for him, is the fraud — that you have folk of color actually voting in the United States of America," says scholar Carol Anderson.
