The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.
Citing a nonexistent crime crisis, Trump plans to take over the Washington DC police and put troops in the streets of the nation's capital. Contrary to his claims, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. @katierogersnyt.bsky.social Campbell Robertson Chris Cameron www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.
Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s
An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

Rural areas in the US are unsafe, because they reflect the repellent values of the conservatives who live there.
For some Bibb County residents, the uncovering of an alleged child sex trafficking ring has shattered a sense of small-town safety.

But experts say rural areas are among the places where people are the most vulnerable to trafficking and abuse.
Reeling over alleged child sex ring, Alabama community asks: ‘Did no one know?’
At prayer meetings and other gatherings, Bibb County residents have grappled with the realization that horrific crimes may have been happening in their town.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that
The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact

Do you remember the horrific abduction in Worcester, MA where protestors clashed with ICE as they ripped a woman away from her family? The horror continues.

The woman’s 13 and 17 year old daughters were placed in foster care. They are now both missing. 1/

Democrats currently control 32% of Texas' 38 House seats, despite winning 42% of the presidential vote in 2024. If Abbott's gerrymander is successful, Democrats would control just 18% of Texas House seats.
JD Vance is suddenly opposed to gerrymandering. Someone tell Greg Abbott.

"To say that the president is making drastic policy changes to cure a problem that only exists in his imagination…that sounds like you’re shilling for Dems when it’s just reporting the flat truth."

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

I keep referring people back to this because it keeps coming up.

People ask me how long things this regime does will be allowed or tolerated and I keep asking “by whom”? Dad is not getting home later. The most charitable view of SCOTUS is that they have decided to be hands-off….

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.
