About these numbers
- Every morning CSWH's update reads public news, bills and events and judges each one: which causes it is about, whether it advances a cause or works against it, or is a neutral report, and where it happens. The newest 14 days are in Your feed; a daily record keeps every day's items for 400 days so trends can be followed (it holds 22 days, from Oct 10, 2026).
- Each number is a count of items and opens exactly those items, each with a link to its source. Days with no data are hatched, not counted as zero.
- "Advances" and "works against" are judged per item against each cause it is about, by an AI model that is asked to stay neutral and to cite; the source is always one click away to check.
- Members' posts are those shared with everyone, counted by their topic hashtags; posts have no direction or place.
