On the politics there is some retroactive forgetting here but what happened is that a lot of mainstreamish liberal groups briefly hopped on the defund bandwagon and that become a lever for GOP attacks. https://t.co/AuLVyPmXxE — PolitiTweet.org

imo the big problem with “defund the police” is that defunding the police is a bad idea — austerity is bad, public services are good, policing is important, and better policing will be more costly than bad policing not cheaper — PolitiTweet.org

But like if defunding the police was actually a good idea then maybe having the Sierra Club and various state NARAL chapters endorse it would also have been a good idea. But it’s not a good idea and I seriously doubt these groups thought it through. https://t.co/xLrfWzjxwg — PolitiTweet.org
