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
@OPB great segment but I recommend more descriptive language: Not “self-deport” but that the political climate made them feel “unwelcome and unsafe.”
“Self deport” implies full agency when there’s actually coercion and intimidation involved.

@brooklynmarie Hi, Brooke. I’m a slow adapter to Substack. In fact, I finally looked up your account only today.
When I click subscribe, though, it takes me to subscribe @Wonkette. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to subscribe to your account specifically? Thanks! 🙏
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.

@dulcesloan was fun and I enjoyed her enthusiasm. But her repeatedly imitating the sound of an air horn? It would be great if she’d skip that next time. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show and her hosting!
Not familiar with Viktor Orbán, the democracy-killing Hungarian dictator whose approval Trump touted on the debate stage last night?
Here's a good explainer.

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?
