The choice to show the budget increases/cuts in this article as percent change as opposed to dollar amounts obscures the fact that the police budget increase alone is more than all the cuts being made combined.

And apparently doing that makes you pro-taxes?

I'm past trying to convince national Democrats of stuff, and posting on social media wouldn't do that anyway. But I really believe that there is an immense latent appetite in this country to BURY these fucking bullies, here and elsewhere, and that doing so is work many people want to be a part of.

The end of this story was just so lovely and left me close to tears. Ok not just “close to”. Thanks @sabs.bsky.social
