I’m finding the silver linings lol. I’ll be rooting for players like Schlegel, Ludmila, and Joseph wherever they go in their careers. And stay hoping Chicago women’s sports organizations will fully invest in their teams one day.

I have a real soft spot for the players on this squad who have been battling through this nightmare season.

After the opening game of the season, these goals are some nice revenge. I might like this stadium.

And the documentary really doesn’t focus enough on the sexual abuse this woman inflicted on both her daughter and the boyfriend. Who were 13! Babies!

But I agree with John and the nod to @michellesphelps.bsky.social ‘s work. @monicacbell.bsky.social also has a lot of fantastic qual work on public safety desires in Black neighborhoods. Public safety polling research need to evolve to capture people’s multifaceted beliefs around crime and safety.

Two people might both want more police in their neighborhood but have very different visions of what that policing should look like.

There’s a lot more the paper digs into—this is just the tip of the analysis.

Although John points out rightfully how lots of identical CJ poll responses can come from very different ideological perspectives, I argue that’s a defining feature of the CJ opinion landscape. Two people might agree on the same policy (crisis response), but want it for very different reasons.

Thank you! I’m more well versed in crime, victimization, and law enforcement data than data on prisons and returning citizens.

Do you have a source on the 94% number? I think that’s helpful context when discussing things like prison reform.
