## Resource

Seattle's CARE team was supposed to be the city's answer to unarmed crisis response — but a new Inspector General report reveals it's still being strangled by police union restrictions. Host Jane C. Hu digs into the findings with contributors Guy Oron and Brett Hamil. Then they discuss Meta's multi-billion dollar settlement and what it might actually mean for kids online. Finally, they tell you what they are up to this weekend. If you’re a member, stay tuned for a chat about Brett’s experience in Boston, and which city has worse traffic.  Learn more about the sponsors of this August 28th episode: Habitat for Humanity Grand Central Bakery Want to get in touch?
