Back from the Brink: https://t.co/mABbQyS1jf Police focused (+ transit & pigeons). The bouncer blocks quickly, sometimes just for bad vibes. @moskos elsewhere.

"Anime fandom, goth, queerness, neopaganism, 'neurodivergent' identities: these were never exclusively coastal phenomena, and their mass base was always suburban and exurban. They did not arrive in the same places Mariani describes; they grew up there." default.blog/p/against-amer…

Pittsburgh Public Schools will be closed for three days, and compel "asynchronous" remote learning, because of the NFL Draft. Since the city will have a lot of visitors this will "ensure students can continue learning safely and effectively." Unreal. publicsource.org/pittsburgh-pub…

And yet when we care about crime and policing and preventing murder, progressives in Rogers Park will huff and point out that statistically she was more likely to drown in Lake Michigan than be shot. Rest in peace.

An 18-year-old Loyola student was murdered in an apparently random attack at the Loyola Beach pier this morning. A masked gunman emerged from behind the light beacon, shot her, then fled. cwbchicago.com/2026/03/gunman…

@B3nL1pman I'm intrigued... And people might work hard to get off it!

@PeterMoskos I feel the opposite. We should be sending meal packets, $.30 a serving and complete nutrition. Model it after Feed My Starving Children. Every hungry American would be fed for a fraction of what we spend now. Plus they don’t have resale value and you won’t get obese.

I am not for telling people what they can buy with their food stamps. Whetev. Let's worry about bigger problems. And if people want to sell their SNAP cards for cash, I don't really have a problem with that either. But if they could buy the food they want, they wouldn't do that.

A Chicago man is going to federal prison for 52 months. He bought people’s food stamp cards at a fraction of face value, used them to buy vanloads of soda, then sold the soda to gas stations and convenience stores for profit. Scam total: $1,554,804 cwbchicago.com/2026/03/chicag…

@NatulChet Not ideal. Wouldn't bother me. I'd prefer a simple system where people get $ and there's not a massive and costly oversight system. But I see no problem with limiting SNAP to food. And certainly cigs and booze would be politically disastrous. So we could restrict that.

My experience reporting on this--in 2022, when there was a kind of omerta on suggesting you opposed it in most mainstream institutions--was that when I told people what I was writing about, in the most neutral terms possible, I got unprompted rants from extremely liberal women.
Dilan Esper@dilanesper

I just wonder if Roberts has any kids or even likes sports. Look-- right wing strategy is clearly PART of this. Like any movement, they looked for areas where their position had support, and sports was one of them. But that support was preexisting, from parents and sports fans.

NATO is a defensive alliance. The United States and Israel launched a preventive war of choice, contrary to international law, against Iran. European allies in NATO owe Donald Trump and Bibi nothing.

Lots of headlines about wasteful state spend these days Not enough attention on what "spend" means: for every dollar spent, someone's making a dollar You think they spent $100M on concrete and soil? Nope Salaries, consultants, NGOs, lawyers, you name it: a whole ecosystem of profiteers sucking the state dry of $100M of your and my tax dollars, paying for their vacations, while the promised goods are never delivered

Unsung heroes are the people who do the work, take the risks, or show the courage that truly matters, yet receive little or none of the recognition they deserve. This is Police Officer Grant Pulgarin. He wasn't honored for this heroic apprehension. Share this post.

Every year for over twenty years (until last year) a majority of people have said that crime is worse than it was a year ago. This while crime has been steadily falling (until the 2020-22 spike). People are awful at judging how bad crime is.
