I understand “defund the police” isn’t the best language, but where was all the outrage when they were defunding education, defunding Headstart, defunding hunger & anti-poverty programs, defunding violence prevention programs, defunding peace projects & defunding social services?

Yes 💯, but why put out a great policy then distract from it with the titles? It just gives the GOP ammo for what they are good at, grabbing every microphone or bull horn and screaming their lies and talking points. Like free and socialism.

Ask your party's leadership...they jave run all of the above for 40+ years. 😏

And why does "reform the police" inevitably involve giving them lots more money?

The tree of injustices was planted by the Europeans. No matter the steps, if we don't uproot the tree, the job is vain. Change the system to change the environment and the parenting will change on both sides. That's the fundamental step to take for any recovery of the country.

There was none. Today’s “liberals” are CNN/WaPo borg. They only do what they’re told and the corporate press only pushes divisive identity politics.

One of these things is vital for any state to establish order and the others are a wish list we get to talk about because we have the luxury to fund them while accumulating debt for my generation to pay off.

Defunding mental health services ... the US leaders with a straight face blame gun violence on mental health and cut fiscal dollars to those programs; total crapshow.
