How Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” Hurts Youth Mental Health - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly Trump’s spending and tax legislation will hurt youth mental health. A new report shows how young people desperately need services.

To those who say I should talk more about the role of mental helath in school shootings. You are right. Let’s talk about Trump wanting to cut $1B from youth mental health grants and programs: nonprofitquarterly.org/how-trumps-b...

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Maybe don’t grant them absolute immunity.

No Kings Day !!

Hell of a sentence from the guy who valorized & pardoned violent criminality against Capitol Police on the job:

"The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs."

North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis sent a survey to his constituents.
Let him know what you think😡:

Musk, who is not a government employee, is committing a shitload of crimes.

State AGs need to act. He’s not immune.

LFG !!

a functioning opposition party that represented the working class could spike this photo in the end zone basically forever

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

It exists in this case due to the real threat of a pretty POTUS who is eager to use the power of his presidency to settle political scores and seek retribution towards political and personal rivals. There would be NO NEED to do it without the existential threat Trump poses to the rule of law.

Trump is the absolute antithesis of everything Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. represented.

Live Crime Tracker Shows Continued Major Crime Declines in 2024 | NORC at the University of Chicago Crime rates in major U.S. cities declined substantially in 2024, according to new data from NORC at the University of Chicago’s new Live Crime Tracker.

YIKES! Duckworth asks Hegseth to name a country that's in ASEAN. He names three -- none of which are in ASEAN.

"I suggest you do a little homework," she says.

A group of men sit in front of a chart that incorrectly spells "military" as "miltary."

GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!

I’d never miss your class….Probably wouldn’t even without the BoJangles enticements.

In his amicus brief on release of the special counsel report, Trump argues: “As the President-Elect and soon-to-be 47th President, President Trump has an interest in a smooth transition and efficacious vesting of executive power."

And irony is dead right there.

I wonder if there are good starter packs of people to block preemptively

Bar graph showing local news sources cover youth crime disproportionately.

Wonder why the public is disproportionately concerned with youth crime? Maybe partly culture shock, but also because news media promote far more youth crime stories.

Crime Policy Needs More Cost-Benefit Analysis, Including Harms to Victims | NORC at the University of Chicago NORC's Live Crime Tracker now includes harm estimates to help facilitate sophisticated trends analysis and truly evidence-based policymaking.

When we talk about crime trends, it is easy to get lost in the numbers and forget the people involved. One way to humanize trend data is to translate it into measures of the harm experienced by crime victims. Here is a little on how that works. www.norc.org/research/lib...
