2022 Topeka, Kan. Adopted Budget of $98,072,190:
• Police: 43.8% (~$42.9 mil)
• Fire: 30.7% (~$30.1 mil)
Combined: 74.5%

Zoo: 2.0% (~$1.9 mil)
Parks and Rec: 0.6% (~$0.6 mil)

I was unaware our budget was similar to Uvalde's—police is +40% of total.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.

Put simply: right-wing has narrative dominance.

My org (@mmfa) did this study and been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

I've said much of this to people in my personal life. Oct 7 was a tragedy, but this is genocide and has been for a years

It's now 4:24 PM on 4/24/2024. Or for others outside the US: it's 4:24 PM on 24/04/2024.

Thank you

@KosherCockney @cenkuygur I'm from Topeka, KS where the Phelps live and protest. My church and many others in the area are told we'll burn in hell & that God hates us pointing at families. It's freedom of speech. I don't like the speech, but it's protected.

This pastor perfectly explained how the values expressed in Christianity can support a multiracial, multicultural democracy instead of right-wing extremism

@BehizyTweets Ballot envelopes are date stamped upon receival, which determines whether a ballot was legitimately received timely. Nobody argued in this case mail-in ballots can arrive anytime, and it'd be valid--just that the date written by a voter on the envelope does not determine validity

This came up again in my YouTube feed. Weirdly coincidental! I'd love for the ending of the episode be the same for our version of Trump.

Joe Biden has aided and abetted the slaughter of 29,000 Palestinians. Don’t tell me he’s a sweet and empathetic man.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The whole world is watching as Netanyahu and his right-wing government starve the children of Gaza and wage war against the Palestinian people. The U.S. must not continue its complicity in this horrific war.

Every video I look at on @YouTube, it has exactly 13k Likes. Shorts appear to show accurate numbers. I haven't tested on a desktop, just my Samsung phone app. Anyone else?

@Travis_in_Flint "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders." ... You are attacking the police in this instance.

... that is, if the Senate had passed it, too. Republicans are for tax cuts for the rich and reducing the IRS staff.

Watching a documentary about medieval London & alcohol. They drank due to the river being the toilet-thus ale was safer. In addition to being intoxicating, I wonder how much the lack of water in the Middle East made alcohol wasteful with limited resources, and thus was banned.
