We don’t talk enough about how normal people flaunting COVID restrictions without consequence accelerated the breakdown of social order that started with the rise of Trump. When there’s no consequences for being an asshole, the worst assholes get to show you who they are.

Mayor Brown hopes to continue syphoning safe streets funds to pay for police. We think that is a terrible idea.
