Might sound weird, but I think thousands of kids at elite universities from immense privilege risking their (earned or unearned) status for the lives of people they will never meet is breathtakingly beautiful.

The police are defunding you
it's a big news day so ICYMI:. The union representing Philly police officers is quietly seeking to block the public from knowing how PPD operates. Info currently available would become confidential. latest in @PhillyInquirer w @rw_briggs @rodrigotorrejon.

I am stunned: It appears that $6 million in this award will come from the detectives themselves
A jury has awarded $16 million to a Philadelphia man whose murder conviction was overturned after he spent 25 years on death row and in solitary confinement. It is the largest wrongful conviction payout in city history.

This was a community garden. A developer bought it with plans to build multiple units. But our local civic association said that would harm the Character of the Neighborhood. So Pats Steaks bought it, tore down the garden, and uses it to store dumpsters. Great work everyone

If I thought that electing Joe Biden was essential to the future of the country, I might be upset that the Philadelphia Democrats removed 20 hardcore organizers in a swing state in an election year for the crime of being progressive.
Philly dems made good on their threats to oust people who backed the Working Families Party. About half of those being removed are in Councilmember Cindy Bass' 22nd Ward. Some believe they are being targeted for backing her Democratic primary opponent.

Correct, this is the actual ideology of Bucks County.
The population of Gaza is roughly the same as Philadelphia. So the thought experiment here is a fascist Bucks County destroying every building-and killing or wounding one out of ten people-in Philly. All while suburban life goes on like normal.

Congrats to everyone who said slowing down this road in any way - bike lane, bus lane, or even speed bumps - was racist gentrification. I know you never really believed it, but you caught your first body anyway.

Texting and driving is deadly, good job NJ.
Did I mention I got pulled over in NJ for texting at a red light? It's a $400 ticket, 3 points and a mandatory court date. Now that is excessive. Don't even hold your phone in your hand in NJ. I don't even hold my phone in Pa anymore, even though it's only a $50 fine.

Philadelphia police beat an innocent woman and kidnap her child but escape punishment because a key witness refuses to testify. That witness? Another Philadelphia police officer
A judge dismissed all charges Friday against a former city police officer accused of participating in the beating of a 28-year-old mother during civil unrest in October 2020. Prosecutors immediately vowed to re-file the case and bring it back to court.

There's no evidence Shapiro changes the electoral math, so simply saying "I like him because he reminds me of Margaret Thatcher" is more honest than 90% of veep talk.
The whisper campaigns against Josh Shapiro have dark undertones. Breaking News: He’s Jewish. But just as Thatcher was identified as a game-changing force in politics instead of a woman, Josh Shapiro’s strengths and talents would easily transcend bigotry and identity politics.

We had 2 mass shootings involving cars with fake plates, and while I do think we should up the penalty (impound the car), the official response from police is incredible
Suspects in the Roxborough High School shooting, the Kensington tavern shooting and a string of other crimes were all linked to vehicles with bogus temporary license plates. I looked into where they were all coming from:.
