These declines are MASSIVE.
And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING.
“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.
Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

years ago, i saw a therapist who falsely advertised herself as trans friendly so she could diagnose trans people with disorders that would preclude access to transition care by casting our judgment into doubt.
that was a decade ago. they're even more organized now.

Curbing fare evasion, despite what the MTA reports, is not what will ever get the metro system not working at a deficit or unable to fix critical infrastructure issues. We can, as a city, afford to look the other way when someone needs to hop fare.
the MTA is gonna spend a billion dollars on new turnstiles to "curb fare evasion" aka make it harder to get in FOR EVERYONE... please contact them and complain contact.mta.info/s/customer-f...

The new turnstiles are emergency evacuation nightmares waiting to happen, and extremely cumbersome for disabled, elderly, folks with small children, and ultimately everyone. Give a call to fight back against spending on these new turnstiles.

The fact that this government gives billions to ranchers and farmers is another reason why it's an insult that this government is also reducing the wages of farm workers to put more money in the pockets of ranchers and not in the pockets of farm workers. #WeFeedYou

It never ceases to blow my mind that so many tech, sci-fi, futurism backers ended up swinging so far right. Did they entirely miss the point of the sci-fi novels? That identity, self, personal exploration is something we can nurture and grow? It's like instead they said, "no we like the dystopia."

The best part is we still have enough funding leftover to continue to scale up the project in 26!
This year has been a *lot* to navigate with tarrifs, legal restrictions on trans healthcare, and repression of mutual aid groups.
But those 1,117 kits? Yeah... we're gonna double that in January.

In this parlance, to arrest a woman is to to RESCUE her. So when you see a story saying that “X number of sex trafficking victims were rescued by police” what that almost always means is: the cops arrested those women/girls. Put them in handcuffs. Put them in jail cells
law enforcement across the country does it all the time, always under the banner of "helping." it does not help that many law enforcement agencies rely on the ideas that girls have a form of stockholm syndrome and thus NEED to be arrested to be saved.
