San Francisco's per capita police spending is higher than anywhere else in the country, by a longshot. Last year, San Francisco budgeted $1,017 on policing for every resident. New York City came in a distant second at $746 per resident.

So cool to advise someone to completely abandon their principles and look the other way on war crimes and international law, then turn around and leak you did that to Politico on the condition of anonymity. Crazy levels or coward shit. I’m sure “outside advisor” means person who called to complain
PoliticoAt least two outside advisers urged Mamdani during last year’s campaign to stop talking about arresting Netanyahu. The pushback came “because it was a distraction and would put him in a tough position,” one of the people who spoke with POLITICO said.
There's nothing to "join" in the Democratic Party. It's a brand with products I spend my vote on once a year at the democracy store. Most people's experience of it is an endless stream of texts that read like scams, their reward for donating or signing a petition. No wonder DSA is growing

Roosevelt InstituteGig companies have long argued that classifying workers as independent contractors is the only way to preserve flexibility. A smart piece in @prospect.org from @profsheenalives.bsky.social explains why that narrative doesn't hold up and what flexibility is really protecting.

For years I've tracked billionaire excess. Each year I show students a chart that blows their minds. This year I had to redraw it for a trillionaire: Elon Musk, $1.32T. Depressing that we're here. Silver lining: couldn't have happened to a less deserving person, proof that wealth ≠ merit.
