Interesting data point. NYS's vast state prison system has shrunk dramatically since 1999. But since 2021 the trend has resversed. The number of inmates has been *growing* again steadily, UP nearly 10% as of 2024. Wonder why this is happening...

Sad for the loss of Louise Vincent who taught me deeper compassion for people who use drugs. The Times used a quote from my story about her: “I didn’t start doing harm reduction because I wanted to save the world,” Ms. Vincent told NPR. “I wanted to save myself."

Powerful people, conservatives and corporations surrendering power to Trump and Big Government once claimed to believe in sharply limiting federal authority. They talked about a government so weak they could drown it in a bathtub. Now they're racing to curry favor with Trump and Federal bureaucrats.

We have to find courage to resist cruelty not with violence but by offering strong gentle invitations back to shared humanness. This is what journalists are called to do with facts and true storytelling. When our work is attacked, it's a sign. Good reporting makes it harder to dehumanize and divide.
