“The plan's $38 billion budget is more than the total annual spending for 22 states, according to state budget data."
Imagine if even a fraction of what this administration plans to spend on cages went toward housing people.

"The strategy of waiting out the present as a forced pause is wrong; the notion of the future as an opportunity to simply return everything to how it was is wrong. A future as a deferred version of the past is an illusion. The future will consist of us. . .as we will be able to be.--Serhiy Zhadan

Even compared to the dire state of the newspaper business in general, Black newspapers in particular are getting fucking hammered.

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.
Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”.
Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law.
Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

I would feel better if someone convinced me that Graham Platner were trustworthy, but it seems like people arguing that side mostly make the argument that it's terrible that anyone wouldn't trust Platner. Someone must have tried to make a more serious case, right?

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign....
funded by automakers
because their cars were killing pedestrians
So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.

This is now literally the lead story on BBC News Scotland. The employment situation of a private individual harassed via lawfare is deemed the main headline for national news. This is genuinely sickening. The media is a cancer upon this country.
