This … is not new. And the mainstream media in those cities has often been a key part of that “conditioning.”
Americans are being conditioned to think of crime as an urban issue. Ask why.
Alabama's murder rate is far higher than New York City's.
Urban crime is not worse than rural crime. It's just more visible. In cities everything is more visible.
So be careful what you blame city leaders for.

Gentle reminder that you can log off today and exercise, volunteer, play video games, run errands, crochet, bake banana bread, see a friend, binge any TV show, play with your baseball cards, tidy your junk drawer(s), bury yourself in work, whatever you need to do to protect your peace. ❤️

If Trump has them that intimidated then they need to retire. And MSNBC hosts piled on CNN earlier this year but their code of silence on this is gross. Have some courage and integrity. Is that too much to ask, or are you just too comfortable?

New Zealand is considering charging tourists when they visit national parks and other public land.
Many of its landmark destinations such as Milford Sound, Aoraki Mount Cook and the Tongariro Alpine Crossing are in such parks.

I think a lot of us have anticipated getting and planned to get off X after the election regardless of the result. And once we saw how nicely Bluesky has developed we decamped here and it’s now a no-brainer.
One thing I'll note about Bluesky's growth this week: the past big bursts tended to be a day or two... and then trended down as some people checked it out and some stuck around, but some bailed. This one though, has been growing more and more each day for a week.
