New from me: New York City and Los Angeles slash budgets — but not for police

“Why are we plowing money into policing when what we need is public health?”

“Our kids are not untouchable, our seniors are not untouchable, health care during the pandemic is not untouchable... but the NYPD is untouchable."

“LA somehow has this reputation as progressive... Absolutely nothing about this is progressive.”

"It's not just, do we care about public safety or don’t we care about public safety, but what does public safety even mean?"

NYC and LA brace for massive cuts -- but there's always money for police.
