Citizen-led reforms in Missouri have legalized marijuana, raised the minimum wage, and revoked the state’s abortion ban. Last week, Republicans advanced a constitutional amendment that would effectively kill the citizen initiative process.
Under this GOP Measure, All of Missouri’s Recent Popular Initiatives Would Have Failed
Lawmakers just advanced a constitutional amendment to drastically raise the bar for approving citizen ballot measures. Voters get to weigh in on the scheme next year.

Can you explain more? I just came across this in my feed but I am missing context on the history of transit fares. Is it unrealistic to hope for free buses without unseen consequences?

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.
Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It.
Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Since Mamdani won last night, NYC has FALLEN according to my friends there. It is utter chaos. They couldn't get in to their top 3 brunch places+their 4th choice only had spots at *noon* Sunday. The corner bagel place was out of everything. Bus was 5 minutes late and the bodega cat hissed at them.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.
This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

how this point interacts with the norms of commentary on protests: if it's true that *any* destruction and disruption will attract a disproportionate amount of attention, then fingerwaggers labeling protests and protestors basedon these scenes are in effect demanding blanket, total discipline
But if a few people in masks start lighting stuff on fire? Then you have news. This creates an *enormous* attentional advantage towards the most violent and chaotic kind of protest.
